Profuse Host

For this article, I will be talking about how to register a cheap domain name and get free web hosting for that domain at Profuse Host.

Buying a domain for a your personal or business website is one of the very important steps in establishing your presence on the web. However, when one is starting a website, they are trying to save money in every way possible. That’s one of the reasons, we offer three different free web hosting packages to suit your need. We only provide free sub domains but you are welcome to provide your own domain name during registration. For domain registration, we highly recommend trying GoDaddy.com because they are world’s largest domain registrar and they offer some of the lowest prices for domain registration. For example, you can register .info domains for $0.99 and .org domains for $6.99. They also offer .com domains for a low price of $9.99. If you are starting a new website, we recommend either .com or .info domain for your website. If you are worried about the cost of registration, we recommend going with .info since they cost around $0.99 per domain.

Once you register your domain name with Godaddy, all you have to do is update the dns information at their control panel and update the dns to point to our nameserver.

nameserver: ns1.profusehost.net and ns2.profusehost.net

After you update the nameserver information, simple submit a free web hosting application at profusehost.net and once approved, you will be provided access to your website control panel. If you have a business site, we recommend selecting “free web hosting with no ads” option because this will allow you to establish online business presence without showing any of our ads. If you need more space and bandwidth, we recommend that “post for host” option where you can get free web hosting by simply making posts in our forum on monthly basis.

While many see it as a stronghold for free speech, the Internet is becoming increasingly commercialized and therefore increasingly limited in content. Free speech web hosting resists this infringement of free speech rights by hosting all legal content, popular or not.

Some web hosting services are more concerned about avoiding offense to some of their users than they are about providing a platform for everyone to express their ideas, thoughts and musings.

Free speech web hosting promotes and encourages the ideals of free speech; ideals that the United States of America was founded upon, and ideals that many are trying to spread around the world.

This effort has become more global with the advent of the Internet. Free speech is an important principle for all members of society in every part of the world to be able to make their voices heard and views known regardless of circumstance, government, economic condition, or philosophical stand.

Free speech web hosting sites understand the underlying reasons for promoting and allowing free speech, even speech that could be offensive, annoying, or abhorrent to some people — perhaps even the majority of people — in a country or a world.

There have certainly been enough historical instances where the prevailing point of view and popular opinion turned out to be wrong that anyone should be able to see the value in allowing all points of view to be heard.

A history in the world showing those in power repressing alternative or unpopular voices would include the oppression of scholars such as Copernicus, the Inquisition, and more recently the specters of Nazism and Italian Fascism as well as other repressive regimes such as Apartheid in South Africa.

Anytime those in power decide that one voice should be censored or suppressed, it opens the door for them to censor any voice. Who decides what voices are acceptable and what voices are unacceptable? Who gets the power to decide? And who has the right to disagree with that power?

Free speech is necessary, because sometimes the popular or the accepted in not always right. And even when an unpopular speaker is wrong, dangerous or deluded, he or she is entitled to the human dignity that comes from expressing oneself.

In today’s world, it is more often those with money and assets who limit speech. Generally speaking, they are limiting it not for philosophical reasons, but rather for economic reasons. So the freedom of the individual is now being subjected not to the power of the government, but instead to the power of the corporation, of the stockholder, of the marketing professional.

Many times those with wealth attempt to limit the power of speech through expensive litigation. Those without access to the money to fight legal maneuvers are stripped of their rights of expression.

That is why free speech web hosting is an important part of the Internet today. On free speech web hosting sites, any speech is allowed, encouraged and supported. Many sites make a point of allowing unpopular dissent and controversial content, and some allow you to post anonymously.

At Profuse Host, we give you the option to use your registered domain name to host your website with us. Free domain web site hosting is very important if you plan to have an online business which can include shopping site (ecommerce), company site etc. It is important that you register your domain prior to submitting the free web hosting application.

You have probably searched free web hosting sites like freewebspace.net, free-webhosts.com and when looking through the search results, you probably noticed things like upload limits, file size limits etc.

Most free web site hosting companies have limits on file size, ftp, email, mysql etc. Furthermore, most of them don’t offer support for languages like php, jsp, ruby-on-rails etc. We at Profuse Host believe that everyone should be able to have a web presence and enjoy the features of regular paid hosting services. Profuse Host offer full support for php, jsp, ruby-on-rails, mysql and we offer hosting tools like mail, webmail, domain parking, ftp manager, file manager, password protect feature for directories, mysql database, postgresql database, redirects, web/ftp stats, cron jobs, index manager, ip deny manager, and site builder. Furthermore, we provide free support for all our clients in our forum.

Our service also includes free domain web hosting if you already own a domain name. We also offer free ecommerce hosting where you can use popular free scripts like http://www.oscommerce.com and start your free ecommerce site. We also offer free business website hosting where you can establish an online presence for your business without spending a single penny.

Now you might wonder how are we able to offer free web page hosting and how are we paying for the servers cost, staff, bandwidth cost etc. Our answer is very simple and its with help of our parent comapny Psychz Networks (http://www.psychz.net). Profuse Host is owned and managed by Psychz Networks and we have a dedicated staff that manages the servers and makes sure that everything runs smooth. Also, we rely on Ads that are served on all sites to pay for the company cost.
