Free Web Hosting Service

Hi Guys, We are serving free web hosting service (www.GoogieHost.com) since 2012 and currently we have thousands of active clients but we need to grow more please let us know, how we could improve our service to get more trusted clients...

Current Resources we provide to free users 20GB Space 200GB Bandwidth Unlimited FTP, Database, Emails, etc Free Website Builder Auto Installer Custom Panel 24X7 Customer Support

But we are planning to provide unlimited resources before end of this year which needs some more clients to get trust and traffic

If you're looking to get more clients, a good start would be to make the language smoother and more consistent across all pages (one example is the About Us page).

Sweet! I'm using free web hosting for a couple of the tracks because I didn't want to shell out money just to learn how to build sites. I am curious though - how are companies like yours able to host for free?

They need to either sell ads, sell marketing info or be the free service of a paid provider. I'd suggest you stay away from any company you can't tell how they make money.

For example http://www.hostinger.co.uk/ is the free business unit part of the hostinger group. http://www.000webhost.com/ uses the freeimum model.

Well somewhere James is right but we are not like them basically 000webhost force you to upgrade your account from a paid provider at googiehost you do not need to upgrade at all its totally free of cost no ads on your website.

Well its not an easy tasks to manage free hosting server because you have to give your time without expectation of earnings and we have to pay server charges but we recover from some other ways... The most important thing is that we feel proud when any of our clients complement on their blog or social profile. :)

That's a great attitude :) I must say, your interface is more modern and a lot cleaner looking than that of the host I have now (000webhost). I don't mean to rip on that one; it's just that yours has a more inviting layout.

Hmmmm thank you, You can not compare our resources with 000webhost because we provide enough resources for everyone
