To build a good website is hard; to find a good website host isn't any easier. Seriously, a large number of web hosting services exist on the market today. Choosing a suitable hosting provider in general and a web hosting provider in particular should depend on what type of Joomla site you want to have: hobby, blog, or e-commerce site.

After researching some web hosting services, I have made two lists of two common web hosting types: free and premium, including 18 of the best web hosting providers for Joomla sites. In this article, we will review nine free web hosting services. To make sure they support Joomla 2.5, I tested and ran Joomla site 2.5 on these hosts. Everything is fine!
