Freehostia is a US-based hosting company with servers located in Chicago. Founded 10 years ago, Freehostia is known for its basic free web hosting plan that allows small businesses and bloggers to host their websites for free.

Freehostia follows the concept of cluster hosting, which means they have created clusters in their network for specific niches, allowing them to offer affordable and reliable hosting services to their global client.

Freehostia offers several hosting plans that include cloud web hosting, VPS hosting, semi-dedicated servers, and dedicated servers. Their basic shared hosting plan, Chocolate, is available for absolutely free, but with limited features.

The Chocolate plan allows you to host up to 5 websites, get 250 MB disk space, 6 GB monthly traffic, 3 email accounts, 1 MySQL database, and 10MB MySQL Storage. This is probably enough for small businesses and bloggers, but if you need more features, you can also choose from their paid plans.

The other plans include Watercircle for $2.95/m, Lovebeat for $4.95/m, Wildhoney for $7.95, and Supernatural for $9.95/m. You get unlimited storage and bandwidth with Wildhoney and Supernatural plans.

The VPS hosting plans start from $14/m and go up till $156/m. Similarly, dedicated servers can cost you from $65/m to $400/m, depending on the required configuration.

In case of any issues, you can always contact their support 24/7 through live chat or email.
