A '''free web hosting service''' is a [[web hosting service]] that is free, usually [[advertisement]]-supported.
<!--- all domain names used here are meant to be fictional --->
Free web hosts will usually provide a [[subdomain]] (yoursite.example.com) or a directory (www.example.com/~yourname). In contrast, paid web hosts will usually provide a [[second-level domain]] along with the hosting (www.yourname.com). Many free hosts do allow use of separately-purchased [[Domain name|domain]]s. Rarely, a free host may also operate as a [[domain name registrar]].

'''''Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2''''' is the sequel to Dynasty Warriors Gundam. In a recent developer interview, a member of the staff was quoted as saying "the number of mobile suits (Playable) is... something like three times that of the first game", making the total around 40 playable Mobile Suits. They also confirmed there will be no Mobile Suits from ''[[Gundam 00]]'' in the game, however, all Suits from the previous game will be returning (this includes the ''Gundam Musou Special'' exclusive, ''Musha Gundam Mk-II'', as seen from the recent PV).
Only a few free web hosts offer basic package for free. Enhanced packages (with more features) are usually available for a cost. This allows users to try the service for an initial trial (see how it performs compared to other hosts), and then upgrade when (and if) needed.


This game will feature a number of improvements over the previous game, such as increasing the normal attack string to 6, the SP attack will now change depending if you are on ground on in mid-air (In Nu Gundam's example, its ground SP is the Fin Funnel, while the air SP is Hyper Bazooka rapid firing), the inclusion of massive [[Mobile Armor]]s as bosses with area damage and greatly improved enemy AI. The game will also include a Online Versus mode. Mobile Armor bosses will have areas that if hit will do more damage compared, and allow the player to destroy sections of armor plate to show how much damage has been done.
Free hosting may have the following limitations:
* Limitation on the size of each hosted file
* Very small [[Bandwidth (computing)|bandwidth]] per month compared to paid hosting
* Disabling on [[hotlink]]ing of files
* File type restrictions (for example [[MP3]], [[MPEG]], [[ZIP (file format)|ZIP]] etc.)
* Compulsory placement of the Webhosts' Banner or Popup ads into all web pages
* No provided [[uptime]] guarantee
* No allowance of custom URLS, such as "http://www.domain.com". It has to be "http://www.provider.com/domain" or "http://domain.provider.com/".


The Japanese PS3 and 360 versions will get exclusive DLC, were as the North American and PAL regions will get a "Enhanced" Versus mode instead.
Some free host may provide these extra features:
* A web based [[Control Panel (Web Hosting)|control panel]]
* Free [[email]] accounts for the domain or subdomain hosted
* File transfer via [[File Transfer Protocol|FTP]]
* Scripting languages: [[PHP]], [[Active Server Pages|ASP]], [[Perl]] etc.
* [[Relational database]]s such as [[MySQL]]
* Scheduled processes, known as [[cronjob]]s
* Other features such as [[guestbook]]s
* Forums and community resources not typical of paid hosts
* Reward systems which provide extra free products and services
* Have no data limitations offering unlimited space'

==Monetizing free webhosting==
The majority of the hosting companies use free hosting to introduce their services, and as an entry point to their more expensive offerings. Generally they recoup their costs in one of two ways:


''All Suits from [[Dynasty Warriors: Gundam]]
* Advertising - Selling [[online advertising]] on the customer sites is generally considered a fair trade - the reasoning is that high traffic sites are more expensive to host, but the additional traffic allows for additional ad impressions therefore covering the cost. For the web master, it can be a good trade if the advertising is of good quality and non-competitive. This is one of the main reasons that businesses do not use free hosting for their website. The majority of free hosting companies use this method.


'''New Suits'''
* Referrals - Using a simple form of [[viral marketing]], these providers rely on the users to spread the offer. The ratio of free to paid accounts is known, and by having each free user refer a number of friends, the hosting provider is able to get enough paid accounts to cover the cost.


*[[RX-93 Nu Gundam]] (Amuro Ray) ''Char's Counterattack''
* Resell Hosting - This is where someone starts up a hosting company, attracts lots of visitors, then sells the hosting company to someone else once it can no longer support itself. Once sold, this individual uses the money to start up multiple hosting ventures and sells each in turn.
*[[MSN-04 Sazabi]] ([[Char Aznable]]) ''Char's Counterattack''
*[[F91 Gundam Formula 91]] ([[Seabook Arno]]) ''Gundam F91''
*[[LM314V21 Victory 2 Gundam]] (Uso Evin) ''Victory Gundam''
*[[ZGMF-X20A_Strike_Freedom_Gundam|ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom]] ([[Kira Yamato]]) ''Gundam Seed Destiny''
*[[ZGMF-X19A_Infinite_Justice_Gundam|ZGMF-x19A Infinite Justice]] ([[Athrun Zala]]) ''Gundam Seed Destiny''

A few methods of giving out Free Webhosting to people by Webhosts


{{Musou series}}
===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.


[[Category:2008 video games]]
Hosts with instant activation are often abused, such as [[link spam]]ming.

[[Category:Gundam games]]
===Post for Hosting===
[[Category:Koei games]]
Some free hosts require posting in a [[Internet forum|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.
[[Category:PlayStation 2 games]]

[[Category:PlayStation 3 games]]
===Forum applications===
[[Category:Xbox 360 games]]
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 [[megabyte|MB]]). However, there are free '''[[file hosting service]]s''' 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 [[CPanel|WHM]] or panel reselling. This allows the client to develop his or her own web hosting plans and business.
