Methods of giving out web hosting

afew methods of giving out Free Webhosting to people by Webhosts

Instant Activation

Due to the risks of illegal, inappropriate, and abusive
website, hosts with instant activation usually give very little storage
space and monthly bandwidth. Other restrictions will likely also be in
effect. The webhosts usually either require the users' web pages to
display their banner ads, textlink ads, or popups; or else the users'
files to be uploaded through a web-based file manager that display ads
to the user uploading files.

Hosts with instant activation are often abused, such as link spamming.

Post for Hosting

Some free hosts require posting in a forum.
Forum-based free hosting requires users to either reach a certain
amount of posts before getting a free hosting account, or be an active
contributor in the forum. Forum-based free hosting often work on a
system of points where posts give points to a user and can be used as
credits toward getting a hosting account or more resources. Typically,
the forum where users have to post contains advertising as the hosts way
of making a profit.

Forum applications

This method is popular, as the hosts can decide which
applications to deny and allow. This is common when a popular forum has
free hosting as an add-on service, rather than the other way around.

File hosting on webhosts

Most free web hosts discourage using their services for file or image hosting only, with no web page, since advertising is displayed on the web page. Because of this, hotlinking is usually disallowed on free hosts. Some free webhosts will also disallow files over a certain size (for example, 5 MB). However, there are free file hosting services which allow large files as well as hotlinking.

Co-branding and resellers

Some services offer co-branding services. These let you brand fixed plans with your own company. Other services, offer WHM or panel reselling. This allows the client to develop his or her own web hosting plans and business.
