Exceptional Hosting Experience with HelioHost - The Best Free Web Host!

I have been using HelioHost as my free web host for quite some time now, and I must say that it has exceeded all my expectations. HelioHost offers an unparalleled hosting experience that is unmatched by any other free web hosting provider I have come across. Here are a few reasons why I believe HelioHost is the best in the business:

Reliability and Uptime: HelioHost's servers are incredibly stable, ensuring minimal downtime. I have experienced excellent uptime for my website, which is crucial for maintaining a strong online presence. HelioHost's commitment to keeping their servers up and running is truly commendable.

Feature-Rich Hosting: Despite being a free hosting service, HelioHost offers an impressive range of features. From ample storage space to FTP access, email accounts, and MySQL databases, I have everything I need to build and maintain my website effectively. HelioHost's feature set is on par with many paid hosting providers.

Supportive Community: The HelioHost community is exceptional. The forums are filled with knowledgeable members who are always willing to lend a helping hand. Whether I had a technical issue or needed advice on optimizing my website's performance, I found the community to be incredibly supportive and responsive.

No Forced Ads: One of the aspects that sets HelioHost apart from other free hosting services is the absence of intrusive, forced advertisements. Unlike many other providers that plaster your website with unwanted ads, HelioHost respects the integrity of your website and ensures a clean and professional look.

Dedicated Staff: The team at HelioHost deserves special recognition for their dedication and prompt assistance. Whenever I faced an issue that required technical support, their staff members were quick to respond and provide effective solutions. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is truly commendable.

In conclusion, HelioHost has been an absolute game-changer for me in terms of free web hosting. Its reliability, feature-rich hosting, supportive community, ad-free environment, and exceptional customer service make it the best free web host available today. I highly recommend HelioHost to anyone in need of reliable hosting services without breaking the bank.

One of the best free hosting providers out there.

Well their servers have some hiccups every now and then due to high load/demand but in general, you get premium hosting services (like cPanel and java (!) ) for free.

Highly recommended free hosting provider.

PS: Hopefully someone from HelioHost will come and claim their account here as I've notified the support email for this review :)

Amazing hosting, amazing support!

Hostings such as InfinityFree are a complete joke compared to HelioHost. These guys are amazing and I am very thankful for all the support and work they have put into HelioHost, they have multiple servers which fit best in every category, have full cPanel and Email support. Big kuddos.

Donate these guys, they deserved it.

Perfect for Startups and Practitioners

If you are low on budget and want to learn to code on a real server, then the heliohost is the best. Just take care that your spike load doesn't make the server down.

Perfect support at discord and forum. It's free but works just like paid.

Reply from HelioHost

Hahaha. Thanks for the laugh. We have about 18,000 accounts so that would an impressive number of “alts” for one person to create.

Also HelioHost is a non-profit so it doesn’t have an owner. Using the term owner implies someone is profiting from this project. All of the donations we receive go directly back into buying new servers and upgrading our service.

Free signups were open for over two hours yesterday from 00:00 UTC until about 02:00 UTC, and donor signups are never closed, so you must be exceptionally slow to have missed that.

Sorry for not being able to allow an unlimited number of free signups, but our service is far more popular than our servers can support and we don’t have infinite amounts of money to buy new servers. So we have to limit the number of new free accounts each day. Our hosting would be pretty useless if we offered unlimited signups but only had an uptime of like 10% from being so overloaded.

The BEST Free Hosting

As the title states, HelioHost has some of the best free hosting I could find on the internet...and I spent a lot of time doing that.

Some complain about HelioHost's lackluster support, but I disagree: this is a volunteer organization providing a service available to practically everybody with access to a company and is doing so without requiring ANY money to be spent at all on their services. In my experience, HelioHost support has been quite prompt and helpful--even when I forget to including some rather important info in a support request (oops...); for instance, you can have virtually any Python module you want installed and it'll be available for you to use within around the next 24 hours. I even managed to lose my 2FA key and they were quite prompt in helping me reset the 2FA I had set for cPanel.

Their uptime is quite superb given the number of free users being onboarded every day and the lack of any hard restrictions on how much RAM and CPU you can use (the only restriction being that you can't use so many resources that you begin to affect other users) and limited resources they work with.

Yes, you would probably get better service, better customizability, and better support if you used something paid--but HelioHost is free, and you get a lot for the whole $0 you need to pay them.

HelioHost is truely an amazing free web host.
