    Nice find. Very thorough explanation of the free hosting industry and business model. Though I'm not sure about the market not getting saturated for years and years to come... it is still in the web hosting industry after all.

    Not sure either, but for now it certainly works and as I see a lot people just start and stop after one month, leaving their members up for grasp by the competition :)

    I was owner of a successful free host for a month. The profit potential is there but the member support and keeping the server clean is an absolute pain in the ass. That was the worst month of my life. Maybe someone with more technical know-how would fair better.

    What companies can you use? Adsense will now allow you to put it on 404 pages.

    interesting, thanks
    it's not much different from any other type of internet business though, you need to invest time and money wisely and of course this is pretty competitive, getting the traffic wouldn't be easy.

    both software are for $$$
    managing free hosts is p**n in the ***. so in this scenario, $$$ makes your upstream/hosting provider.

    I opened an account with Giantpanel.com (bit cheaper than Layeredpanel, but the same package) and they manage that whole thing; I'll report back here in a few to tell you :) Seems worth it though.

    This might work, but I think it's too late.
    This article has all elements of typical sales/scam letter. Intention is only to sell software and hosting to YOU. He is convincing you that market is not saturated, but if you think for your self - it is, every ISP is offering free host among thousands of others competing for AdWords. And more and more people use blogs instead of typical hosting.
    Then twisting facts about hosting 80.000 websites per server while cPanel can take no more than 1000. That's crap - Web Server with 300 users that actually use PHP and MySql will become too slow and your reputation will go down. It has almost nothing to do with which panel you use.
    You can not publish Google Adsense banners on somebodies free host. What if user also publishes his own adsense (or similar) banner - that is forbidden by google. Who will get suspended from google? Or do you plan to tell your users that they are forbidden of putting banner on their own web?
    90% of new webmasters are only building web so they could put adsense on it.

    I have a friend in hosting company with few thousands paying customers and it is just enough to cover all costs. They make more profit from other services...

    I was thinking of making a freehosting site too long time ago but I guess it's too time consuming for only one guy
