Comparison of free web hosting services

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP policies on all fronts.


 * 1) Fails WP:LISTCRITERIA due to lack of precise selection criteria. There is no clear definition of its subject - does "web hosting" in the title include blogs? forums? files? photos? Or was the intention to include only website builders that offer a free tier? What about webhosts that offer free landing page or even basic website builder on domain purchase, like Namecheap, OVH, etc.?
 * 2) Fails WP:NOTADIRECTORY.
 * 3) Looks like WP:PROMO, especially the "comparison" of the "price of connecting owned domain".
 * 4) Unsourced, even though a tag has been in place since 2014.
 * 5) Has historically been a spambait.

I see no purpose why this list should appear on Wikipedia, at least in its current form. — kashmīrī  TALK  19:27, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: Per nom. Maybe I just don't get it. I would think an integral part of web hosting services would be registration but many are only if paying. Otr500 (talk) 00:52, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per nom. Clearly falls into several categories at WP:What Wikipedia is not. SSSB (talk) 14:43, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
