Free domain hosting?

Hello,

is there any super cheap shared host where i can store lets say 50GB of data (you know about "unlimited" plans..) and also get a .com domain free?

Im looking for hostings under $3 monthly

thx

 

Why would anyone give you a .com and allow you 50Gb of space for such a low price?

You'd be better off looking for a way to improve your earnings model, so that you can afford a VPS or something.

 

shared hosts have "unlimited" disk space plans, so im probably looking fo "unlimited" host with ability to get free domain?

 

You may find you run afoul of their "fair use" clauses with 50Gb of data, depending on bandwidth uses. "Unlimited" rarely means actually unlimited.

 

OK, @TIEro pretty much gave you a proper advice, I will just expand on it. Lets think logically here. You say Unlimited Space for example - how do you think Unlimited Space is achieved. Have you heard of a physical server that can store unlimited amount of data? And why do people sell Dedicated Servers for $100+ per month when anyone can get Unlimited for 2-5$/month? What Unlimited means in reality is that you will be put on an overcrowded shared server, with hundreds (or thousands) other people that thought they have an infinite amount of resources and you will all exploit this until the server crashes. So, to prevent that from happening too fast, the host will apply certain limitations in their ToS - lets say no more than 5GB media files, 5GB docs files etc. So at the end of the day you are still pretty much limited in every way. But enough about boring logic...

What YOU need to do is evaluate your project. See how much space it currently requires and get some more on top of it so it has room for expansion. I can tell you that I rarely (and I do mean rarely) see a customer using more than 20-30gb space, let alone 50gb. Most of the times prospective clients seek as much as they can get and don't realize that they certainly don't need as much. This can either make you fall into the Unlimited Trap and be sorry afterwards, or make you buy an unneeded VPS/DS when your project is too small for it. When you have a clear idea of the most important features you require you would find a host with clear and guaranteed resources much easier

 

I would be very doubtful and unlimited is monitored by inodes, you could however get a cheap end vps or $15 /mo dedicated from kimsufi for massive storage

 

Don't think you will be able to get 50GB and a free domain for $3, however there are hosts that offer free domains on all billing cycles. Have a look in the advertisement forums
