Absolutely! All services featured on our platform are genuinely free to use without any hidden charges. However, free hosting typically includes certain trade-offs such as reduced memory and processing power, storage limitations, server slot restrictions, advertisement displays, or requirements to manually keep your server active. Understanding these limitations helps you choose the right provider for your needs.

No, you don't need to keep your computer or browser window open. These hosting services operate on cloud-based infrastructure, meaning your server continues running independently regardless of whether your device is powered on. However, some free hosting providers may automatically stop inactive servers after extended periods of non-use to conserve resources, so periodic activity may be required to keep your server active.

Many free hosting providers implement idle server policies to manage their resources efficiently. If your server remains inactive for a specified period—typically ranging from days to weeks—it may be automatically stopped or suspended. You can usually restart these servers when needed, though you may need to manually reactivate them through your provider's dashboard or console.

Yes, you can use multiple hosting providers at the same time. Many users run different projects or applications across various free hosts to maximize availability and distribute their workload. This approach also provides redundancy and allows you to test different platforms before committing to a paid service.

Managed hosting providers handle server maintenance, updates, security patches, and technical support on your behalf, making it ideal for users with limited technical expertise. Unmanaged hosting gives you full control and responsibility for server configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Most free hosts are managed or semi-managed to reduce the technical burden on users.

Yes, most free hosting services impose bandwidth and storage limitations to manage their infrastructure costs. These restrictions vary significantly between providers, so it's essential to check the specific limits for each service. Some may offer unlimited storage with limited bandwidth, or vice versa. Always verify these constraints match your project requirements.
