ParsGB - Free 1GB Hosting Service with Unlimited Features

A new free web hosting service has evolved, this time offering much more and better features to members. If features, such as cPanel and Fantastico, are not enough to increase your adrenalin rush, how about free 1GB storage space and 50GB bandwidth? However, that is not all. I'm pretty sure what is going to come up next, will be something you are going to be tempted and not being able to refuse. ParsGB.com is that free web hosting service provider!

As a free web hosting provider, ParsGB.com also offers support for PHP, MySQL and FTP. In fact, most of the features that are required by users are already made available by them. Besides, what do they want in return from members? Nothing (as long as you abide by the TOS). There are No Ads being (or required to be) placed on your website, and neither is there a requirement to fulfil any "forum-posting" condition. So, where is the catch?

Before I attempt to reveal the secret, the service of ParsGB.com are investigated here. First of all, ParsGB.com provides members with a number of features. The following is a list of great features.

As it can be seen, there are several unlimited features, particularly Unlimited Addon Domains. Although JSP is not widely used these days, but it is also supported by ParsGB.com. By offering cPanel and Fantastico, this package is somewhat identical to most other free web hosting services; but what makes this web hosting service provider special is their server (See image).

The ParsGB.com server is powered by Apache (Linux) and running on top of 4 CPU processors. PHP is version 4.4.4, and MySQL is at version 4.1.21. With such enormous power, users can expect this system to really function pretty well. Since it is rather new at the moment, you might expect that the load will increase over a period of time, but that is natural when more accounts are added, especially using cPanel. Nonetheless, you can safely assume that this server is likely to be up and running healthily over a good period of time.

Sign-Up
In order to sign up for free web hosting, registrants can simply click here to proceed. Users have a choice of either using an existing domain name that they (users) own, or obtain a free sub-domain name, e.g. yourname.parsgb.com from the hosting service provider. The registration is pretty straightforward, with step-by-step instructions to lead users through the procedure. During the registration procedure, it is perhaps important to specify correct details, particularly addresses; otherwise the registration might fail. Secondly, do make sure to read the Terms of Service, as there are certain restrictions and limitations which users are not be familiar with. Once approved, the activation is almost instant. An email containing the account username and password is sent to registrants, and that account details are used to login to cPanel as well as the ParsGB.com User's Control Panel (just in case you are not aware of the presence of their personalised control panel).

Personal Experience
Up till now, I do not know what is the catch, but I am pretty sure ParsGB.com is gathering a huge popularity of hosting members signing up. So, actually there is no secret, or rather, secrets that I do not know of. I have been using ParGB.com for a period of time, and since then, they have upgraded their server. So, expect them to stay for long.
