LNB Hosting from one of our sponsors, @Pacific Spirit, should be your choice.
Check out his LNB Hosting offer thread at https://post4vps.com/Thread-LNB-Hosting-Free-Hosting-Powered-by-HostLease-Media-Group-NL.
You can rely on them, I've had a hosting package with them before, really nice.

There is Gigarocket shared hosting service which I have been using for years. 5GB space, 50GB monthly Bandwidth, 10 Databases and 10 FTP account. Also they do offer latest cPanel, free SSL with Let's Encrypt and some sort of DDOS Protection too. If you want to run couple of small sites it's more than enough. All you have to do is make 10 quality one time posts in their forum. I haven't had any trouble for a long time.

Interesting with Gigarocket, I thought its service is discontinued, all of them. Just checked Dean's thread, VPS only. Anyway, I looked at the Free Hosting package, here, I see free domain there, is it subdomain or TLD? I don't get the info there actually.

Anyway, I looked at the Free Hosting package, here, I see free domain there, is it subdomain or TLD? I don't get the info there actually.Definitely not a TLD. It's a sub-domain. The hosting is excellent, however like with the VPSs, with free hosting it's always a risk. The likelihood that GigaRocket will give up is remote, but at the same time it is also a real possibility. The owner may rethink the cost involved with the server and licenses. cPanel license with Softaculous on top of it is very expensive.
The standard of posts is very high, so make sure you make 10 quality posts that count and add value. Once you've made the 10 posts, then you don't have to worry any longer, except just check in when there is a cleanup of accounts. Gigarocket periodically does cleanups, and hosted members then need to indicate whether they want to keep their hosting account.

Thanks for the clarification, they didn't put the detail (or I actually misread and didn't notice they put "subdomain" there.)
Anyway, I would stick to LNB Hosting, we all know, LNB Hosting is an, not very, old player, but I know I can count on them. LNB Hosting closed years ago because their servers crashed (or something else, I forgot), but I, as LNB Hosting users, was moved to Jordy's main company, Hostlease. I got a package where it will cost around €20 or €200 (I forgot) for a year, free, as a compensation to me.

@Melvin why you don't use your VPS for web-host?I know a couple of free webhost providers but i am not satisfied with them.I will suggest you to use your VPS.

Free shared hosting is much easier than free vps . But most of them use their poor panel and have many restriction and sometime ads and nag on your website
Getting vps from here and hosting web is best idea for now . Because vps is much powerfull than hosting that is shared with thousand of people and you have full control of the server but it is not as easy as cpanel
RE: Free shared hosting? - xdude - 07-16-2019
Yeah I also lost bit of faith in Gigarocket after what happened with free vps service. But I think as long as owner is running is own sites on a VPS this free hosting service will last. But Dean and I both had another bad experience with another free hosting service which used to be a solid provider. So far I haven't had a problem with Gigarocket so I'm keeping my few sites there. But I do take regular backups and ready for anything. After all when it comes to free hosting, you always have to be ready to move your sites somewhere else no matter how good the provider is. It's a universal thing.

You can run a website on your VPS. Once you get a VPS from P4V, you can install CentOS Web Panel and continue with it. I recommend it to anyone who is willing to host a website with ONLY a VPS.
