Free Web Hosting Gaining Ground

Growing Internet users in third-world countries are boosting free Web hosting services, Freeway Webhost says. From 2005 to 2010, an estimated 700 million additional people will go online and many will look to free hosting

December 28, 2006 – (TopHosts News Brief) – Hosting provider Freeway Webhost says Free Web hosting will soon become a hot service once again, as inexpensive Internet access gains traction with hundreds of millions of additional users in 2007.

“Free Web hosting services will once again fulfill a need that hasn’t been this high since the dotcom bust,” Daniel J. Briere, CEO of FreewayWebhost, said in a PR.Com release. “With free hosting, people can express themselves in ways that services such as MySpace and Facebook don’t have enough flexibility to allow.”

The Internet has evolved into a very socially-driven medium, with more people, especially from third-world countries, coming online. Free Web hosting offers a way for anyone to become connected with the rest of the world, Freeway Webhost says. In India alone, ZDNet Research predicts that the total number of Internet users will rise from 38.5 million in 2005 to 100 million in 2007. The worldwide total number of Internet users is expected to rise from 1,081 million in 2005 to 1,781 million by 2010, according to eTForecasts.

Because of this high demand for free hosting, this market has grown tremendously in the past year, and is expected to continue at roughly the same pace into the foreseeable future. Popular social networking sites are not adequately meeting the needs of new Internet users, and free hosting offers another option for personal expression.
