Today we are going to list 5 website where you can host your website for free of cost.

Confusing UI for Netlify ?
I you are looking for free plan why are you looking at pricing structure ?
For free accounts:
Network Bandwidth: 100GB/month — Soft
Storage: 100GB — Soft
API requests: 500 requests/minute, 3 deploys/minute* — Hard
This are the same average post that is on every website. Please get some unique things.
You say these are for testing purposes. Would you recommend them for full-time website hosting?
Also, do any of these offer email services?
For full purpose I recommend using their subscription to unlock their full potential and also they provide Neil service of their own or with Google.
I disagree with the Confusing UI for netlify cons.
They are trying to make their UI modern as much as possible.
Yess they are trying to make modern site but in some cases the is confusing especially on mobile devices
For Frontend Web Apps I recommend Netlify and For Backend AWS, Both of them have free tiers and both of them are really good and powerful services with a helpful support team.

I use this: Altervista Wordpress
is not the best around Internet, but have more features than the official Wordpress.com since start and for free; my site not have visits at moment, but for me is good to learn HTML and CSS, I have maded the entire code of my site alone, for learn web code
I'll check that website and thanks for mentioning the site
Free comes with "Limitation" . I would choose Firebase over Netlify.
Okay Firebase has greater depth in dabase management
