Free hosting business is profitable?

[kunnu]

Hello,

I saw many free hosting companies are still in business.

They manage abuse, free server but how they get profit?

If customer upgrade their plan to premium then they host them on same free server or move to premium?



Thanks.

Hi kunno. Many free hosting providers rely on their customers eventually upgrading to paid plans to obtain more features. Some may also rely on ads. As to whether they host free and paid customers on the same server, that really depends on the provider. I would suggest asking them directly.

Yes, upgrades are a way of earning for free hosts. In other cases, forced ads are put by your free web hosting providers and the advertisements revenue will go to your free web hosting service providers to cover your web hosting costs

Free hosting has less features and mostly comes with limitations such as small disk space. Most people who are happy with the free hosting service are likely to upgrade their hosting plans to paid ones.
