Ask HN: How 000webhost.com makes money
I wish to understand how does 000webhost.com makes money? How are they affording 99.99% uptime with no ads? It looks like a scam to me.
- pram 10y agoThey make money by selling hosting: https://www.000webhost.com/premium-web-hosting https://www.000webhost.com/premium-web-hosting The actual question should be: how do they afford to give away free hosting? The answer is: the margins on shared hosting are extremely high because you can dump a ton of users on a single server. 2GB of storage and 20GB of bandwidth costs very little, and I'd assume they use the free accounts to intice people to pay for their premium plan once they exceed the limits (wouldn't be hard) HTH.
