About
AwardSpace is a web hosting provider that offers free and paid hosting plans. Its free hosting includes PHP and MySQL support, no ads, a free subdomain, instant account activation, and a CMS auto-installer. The landing page states that the free hosting service includes 1,000 MB disk space and 5 GB bandwidth.
The pricing page shows the free offering as a perpetual hosting tier rather than a trial. It is positioned alongside shared hosting, semi-dedicated hosting, and VPS plans, with the free plan intended for small sites and basic testing use cases. The free tier has concrete resource limits, so it should be treated as a capped free hosting plan rather than always free with no limits.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a real, perpetual offering with no credit card required, so it has meaningful value rather than being just a trial. The closest paid plan is Basic at about $0.25/month, and the free offer matches most of its practical hosting features while keeping the same core limits on domains and support, so its value is roughly the price of that entry plan.
