Free Web Hosts with No Ads / Adverts
This page lists free web hosting services that allow you to host your site on their server without placing any advertisements at all on your website. That is, the hosts on this page do not place banners, buttons, text links or require such ads on your website.
You should probably be warned that the downside to such ad-free hosting is that such web hosts disappear with great frequency. While all free web hosts are prone to disappear without warning after a while, every good free web host without adverts that I know of in the past has definitely disappeared from the scene after a while. Many of them have claimed that they would be around for the long haul, but none of them have.
If you need reliability without ads, I strongly recommend that you get your own domain name and use a commercial web host. However, if this is not possible, at least buy a domain name. That will allow you to move your website to another web host without loss of visitors should the current free web host goes down.
As a result of this constant stream of free web hosts without advertisements closing down, it is more than likely that some of the hosts listed here have already closed down by the time you check this page. If so, please let me know and I'll update the listing. It is also likely that as a result of the frequent closures, the listing below is empty. If so, I'm sorry about that - I can only list the hosts I know about.

Free Ad-Free Web Hosts
- Microsoft® Office Live Small Business
Apart from free web hosting, you also get a free "custom" domain name for 1 year (you'll have to pay $14.95 per year for the domain name in subsequent years), 100 business email address (free for 1 year only), a contact manager, a document manager that allows you to store and share your company's documents in a centralised location managed under a version control system, a project manager, and so on. Note that this service is offered only in a selected number of countries and languages (English, French, German, and Japanese, at this time). [As far as I can tell, this service is ad-free. However, there's no official mention of this, so if you find that it's ad-supported, please drop me a note.]
- X10Hosting
This free web host provides you with 300 MB of disk space, bandwidth of 10 GB, FTP access, the ability to host your own domains or use their subdomains, PHP 5, MySQL, CGI, .htaccess, POP3 and IMAP email and no advertisements. They also provide an alternative package with advertisements but with more features and resources allocated. You are required to join their forum as well and log into your forum at least once every two weeks. The default PHP installation comes with some limitations (you can't send email through the scripts, etc), but it is possible to request for the limitations to be removed.
- FreeHostia
FreeHostia provides ad-free web hosting with 250 MB of data storage, 5 GB of bandwidth, PHP, Perl, 1 MySQL database, 10 MB database space, 3 POP3 email addresses, 3 email aliases, email filters (including SpamAssassin spam filters), FTP, etc. Note that .htaccess does not work on this web host, so some content management systems (CMS) and blog software may not work correctly.
- GigaCities
This web host provides 20 GB of free web space, 300 GB of bandwidth, PHP, 10 MySQL databases (with restrictions - you cannot lock database tables) and free web statistics. You can either host a domain here or use their subdomain. Note that .htaccess does not work on this web host, and some PHP functions are also disabled, so certain content management systems (CMS) and blog scripts may not work correctly. Update: there's no way to access certain pages of the control panel, so you cannot set up your databases or change account settings.
