Free Hosting Benchmark Performance Script Tests

Free Web Host PHP Benchmark Tests in 2025

Benchmarks conducted by ChippyTime.com using a recovered 2006 Free-Webhosts.com PHP Performance Script. You can get the archived version here

Script preservation note
The benchmark logic is unchanged. The only modification made was replacing <? with <?php for modern PHP compatibility.

Awards

Why These Awards Matter

These awards reflect how free hosting providers manage CPU access. While the benchmark is simple, it reliably exposes differences in burst allowance, throttling, and scheduling — just as it did when originally created in 2006.

Hosts I Could Not Test

  • FreeWHA: Signups were temporarily closed at the time of writing, and an account requires direct contact with their team.
  • Googiehost and WebHostMost: My account requests were never approved, even after several days.
  • 000webhost: The service was shut down around October 2024.

How Do You Get a Free Domain in 2025? You Can’t — Here’s Why (and What You Can Get Instead)

In 2025, the internet is full of “free domain” promises—but the reality is far less glamorous. If you've been searching for a completely free top-level domain (like .com , .net , .org , or any other standard TLD), here’s the honest truth: You can’t get a real domain name for free. And that’s not because companies don’t want to give you one. It’s because that’s not how the domain system works.
