Look Closely, and Find 6-12 Months of Free Hosting

This article is a treasure box full of extremely economical VPS/VDS/Dedicated web hosting companies.

I've also listed some special offers and coupon codes where hosts (ISPs) are offering 6-12 months of website hosting for free.

Current pricing and URL's are as of February, 2007.

This host comparison and coupon code listing is not fixed, I update this list and help you find a deal whenever I find deals. There are even some free 12 month hosting deals if you look closely, and some 6 month free hosting deals.

It is typical to find companies charging over $110/month for dedicated hosting. However there are several economical options out there lesser known to the public that cost under $40, and some even cost under $30.

Non Dedicated Hosting

Although this page lists mainly information about dedicated and virtual dedicated server deals, I have to let you know about a 6 month free hosting plan with SSH available..

ANHosting (ANHost, AN Hosting, AN Host)

Price: starting at $6.95 (but 6 months free so $0.00/month)
Tip: Coupon code is GOTAPEX-AN63   Try entering it in and it will let you know if it is valid.

Actual Dedicated Hosting

It is rare to find actual dedicated hosting at these prices (under $40).. Virtual dedicated servers are similar to actual dedicated ones, but if you really need a true dedicated server check these below:

Galaxy Solutions (galaxysolutions)
Price: starting at $26.00
Tip: See the "budget servers" section of their website.
Latest update: they seem to have sold out of budget servers.

Server Pronto

Virtual Dedicated, and VPS (Virtual Private Server)

These servers below are dedicated in a different way - they are private like a real dedicated server but they can be located on the same rack as other people's servers in the server room. So not true dedicated if you are really picky.
