To be honest, I'm no longer interested with free hosting stuff. I have a VPS from here and sometimes one of paid hosting provider in my country have a promo where the lowest package only cost $1/6 mo for the first payment. I usually just get that plan and move my website there. Much more reliable than free hosting. If it's ended then I move my website back to the VPS. Just a static file, easy. Install on both party and do the DNS, job done.

Last time I'm using free hosting probably 3 years ago. That time Johnny is really slow, I should wait around 3-5 seconds before my web get displayed when I visit it. Very bad experience that time. Then I just took Tommy which works really nice but really need effort to get an account there. Looks good if an improvement already made.

You can't compare free hosting with VPS.

VPS requires some linux knowledge even you use the "one-line" install script for web hosting environment while for hosting you only need to know how to install and post on wordpress.

If we limit the search scope on "cPanel free hosts,as far as I know the currently working one is only heliohost.If we remove the control panel restrictions there are still many good free hosts,most from your local area.For example,[WaZhanFou] here, a blog provides fast free hosting that is optimized for Chinese connections but they use DirectAdmin panel.Even [AFreeCloud] from my initial look.(but China isn't in their country list.)
