Look for free web hosting companies that have a data center. That way you can make sure it won't go offline any soon.

In this little "tutorial" I'll talk to you about how to get the perfect type of webhosting for you. First of all , there is no such thing as "unlimited webhosting" unless its a really really big company , such as Google , Youtube , Yahoo , and some others.Some internet providers are also letting users have a web space , however those spaces have limited functionality , such as no domain hosting , no php , or no mysql , and such. When you are looking for a hosting , and you need a specified plugin to be installed on it , simply make a new text document ... insert this into it : <? phpinfo(); ?> , and save it as info.php , then upload it to the desired webhosting , and read through carefully , as it contains all the information you need about the specified server. Whenever you are looking for a free hosting , look first for any kind of rating and review of it , as users are the most accurate source that can lead you to the best. Of course some hostings false some of those reviews to gain visitors , I assume you can figure out yourself which is the fake and which is not.

Some hosting "companies" are nothing else , then real fake companies , that are actually hosted on a users pc , and his only purpose is to make money via banners. When he does not achieve his goals , or he does achieve his goal , he simply shuts down the server , cancels the domain payment , and everything will be gone , as well your software / database , and everything else. So be careful .

For example , I don't really trust domain names with a lot of numbers and weird name. Like 000webhost.com , at first I was scared , but I took my time to try out their "awesome features" , and ended up with a forum that was offline for 50% of its time due to MySQL connection problems , and of course , support is not answered ... as usual on most of any other free services.

When you are looking for a free webhosting company , dig deep into google , their forums , ask your friends , or other people that might have tried out that service , or even try out yourself with a simple copy of wordpress or a forum , and wait for a couple of weeks to see the changes , uptime , etc.
