HostPaid.com is a revolution in the world of free hosting. Unlike other free hosts – one-man, underskilled, overambitious sellouts – HostPaid has approached the free hosting market with a different idea in mind: Free hosting that lasts.

HostPaid is run by several webmasters who, discontent with the available free hosting services, have struck out and established their own. Some of their core principles include quality, service, and stability.

We do not overload our servers, nor oversell our resources (even though we’re giving them away). Reliability is a key factor in the service we provide as is quality. Simply because we provide a free service doesn’t mean we should skimp on what is important. –Jonathan – Owner, HostPaid

HostPaid officially kicked off very early in January, 2008. In accordance with their policy on not overloading servers, they only had 50 accounts to offer. At the time of this post, only 20 of those accounts were taken. I’m willing to bet many more will vanish soon. And with account features like these, I’m surprised there are still accounts available:

• 1GB disk space
• 10GB monthly bandwidth
• Cpanel 11.17+
• Unlimited ftp/email accounts, sub/parked/addon domains, and MySQL databases
• Choice of own domain, or a HostPaid subdomain
• Everything else you would expect from a paid webhost
• Legendary server stability
• Top-notch customer service

Furthermore, HostPaid promises to deliver (and has delivered) on three more very important fronts. And by doing so, they set themselves completely in a class of their own:

We offer quite a few things that are simply unheard of in the free web hosting industry, specifically, a Server & Network Uptime Guarantee, an Ad-Free Guarantee and actual web hosting account support from a real person. – Jonathan – Owner, HostPaid.

Since HostPaid is looking to offer high quality free hosting, they need a system that generates income for themselves – yet keeps the system free at the same time. This is achieved through the mechanism of affiliate referrals. Before you can register an account at HostPaid, you need to sign up at one of their affiliate networks. It’s a process that, as Jon explains, benefits all parties concerned.

The affiliates listed are not *just* to provide income for HostPaid, they are also there to help our clients earn additional income from their website. … If you’re a webmaster and you sign up for one of the networks and our hosting, you’ve just “killed two birds with one stone”, in a sense. You now have reliable hosting to host your website and a way to earn income. – Jonathan – Owner, HostPaid

Account setup was phenomenally fast. I registered at DealDotCom, then applied at HostPaid. They created and activated my account within six hours after registering, and I was able to log in to my cPanel!

And, as mentioned in that list, their support really is top-notch. I signed up with my primary domain (WoganMay.com), but I asked them to change it – and they complied within two hours. Then I was having trouble adding a domain on – and they sorted it out just as quickly. I’ve been at many, many free hosts in my time, and I’ve never seen service like this. The most I’ve ever gotten was a “lol, try adding it again”-type response – and that was from an “industry leader in free hosting”.

Another thing that I really like about HostPaid is that they really listen to their customers. I recommended a few changes to their cPanel and welcome emails, and they actually heard me out. HostPaid definitely has that human touch…

I don’t even get this level of service from my local paid provider – never mind for free! The support was also amazing – they obviously knew what they were doing. At the speed with which they serviced my requests, I can only assume that they have years of experience in this industry.

To be quite honest, this level of quality shouldn’t be free. Yet, it is, because four people decided it was necessary:

My name is Jon (Jonathan) and I am the Owner of HostPaid. There is also Kim, who is our Account & Affiliate Manager, Josh who heads our Support Department and James who also works in our Support Department. – Jonathan – Owner, HostPaid

Speaking from personal experience, I really have to say that I’m above impressed with their services. Because they’re only aiming at a small user base for now (50 clients), I’m confident that their quality of service will remain this high for a while yet. And since they’re so dedicated to what they’re doing, I can only expect more good reports to follow.

As of this moment, there are 30 accounts left, before they close their first server to registrations. If you’re looking for an excellent, no-nonsense PAID host, then you might as well get it right now, for free: Click here!
