Frequently Asked Questions.
About this site
+ Who's behind Freeaspwebhosting.org?
A couple of developers that saw the need for a solid Free Asp hosting provider.
+ Why are you doing this?
We want to support ASP.NET professionals and enthusiasts.
+ What countries are allowed?
We currently accept users from USA, Canada, Australia, Austria, Germany, France, The Netherlands and Belgium. We are not accepting subscriptions from Asia. Thank you for your understanding.
+ How can I get support?
If you require support as a user, you can login to Freepanel and use the build-in ticket system.
+ What is Freepanel?
The Freepanel is a place where you can collect points and exchange them for hosting-related items you normally need to pay for. For now, we only offer Windows accounts, but we plan to add several other items in the near future, such as Linux hosting, domain names and gameservers.
It's like having a paid hosting account, totally free.
+ Do I need to pay anything?
Our slogan is very clear about this: "Never Pay For Webhosting Again™". We've created an unique system that lets our users sign up for free partner sites. These partner sites pay us money to cover the server costs.
+ Is a Credit Card required?
NO. We only select offers that don't require a CC. In addition to being available to as many people as possible, this also helps to reduce fraud for our advertising partners to the absolute minimum.
