Top Best free web hosting of 2019

MylistMe - Web hosting is one area where costs can easily grow, as hosting packages are generally sold with monthly billing. There are a (dwindling) number of providers that offer free web hosting, however, and whilst such packages will not be suitable for most businesses, others have a great opportunity to try new things before scaling website projects.

Below is a selection of the best free web hosting available to everyone and since they are all free, nothing prevents you from trying all of them.

1. Infinityfree

One of the most popular hosting services
 Plus :

• Unlimited storage/bandwidth
• 400 MySQL databases

Minus:

• Average load times

In the world of free website hosting, Infinityfree stands out for good reasons. It has a well designed website that makes a positive impression and ticks the right boxes for us. Its homepage gets a C performance grade in our load time test but other than that, it looks pretty solid.

There is no hidden fees and despite its free status, you will get a 99.9% uptime guarantee (although you are more or less on your own if your site goes down) and the popular Softaculous Script installer. (with more than 400 applications. 

We were surprised to see that its features list include 400 MySQL databases (where others give only a handful, if at all), a free DNS service, free SSL and free Cloudflare CDN.

As expected Infinityfree offers a cheap paid for hosting (Infinityfree Ultimate Premium) that offers unlimited everything for $5.90 per month, worth an upgrade as you will also get access to CloudFlare Railgun, which cuts load times significantly.

Bandwidth is a bit on the tight side, however, with just 200MB, which is enough for small, simple websites, but if your site starts getting popular, you may have to think about upgrading.

INTRODUCTION TO HTML AND XHTML

Basic HTML Structure

MylistMe - Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the language used to write web pages. The main feature of HTML documents is the presence of tags and elements. Elements in HTML documents are categorized into two, namely the <HEAD> element which functions to provide information about the document and the <BODY> element that determines how the contents of a document are displayed by the browser, such as paragraphs, lists, tables and others. While the tag is stated with a smaller sign "<" (initial tag) and a bigger sign ">" (end tag). In its use most of the HTML code must be located between container tags. It starts with <namatag> and ends with </ namatag> (there is a "/").

HTML documents have three main tags that form the structure of HTML documents, namely HTML, HEAD and BODY.

HTML tags function to declare an HTML document, HEAD tags function to provide information about HTML documents and BODY tags function to store information or data that will be displayed in HTML documents.

LISTS

There are five types of lists that can be used, namely:

Unordered Lists <UL>:

To list items with bullet marks. List entries are defined by the <li> tag. Example:

<ul>
<li> item number 1
<li> item number 2
<li> item number 3
</ul>

The results of the above code are:

• item number 1
• item number 2
• item number 3 

Ordered Lists <OL>:

Also used to create a list of items, with each item can use Arabic or Roman numerals. List entries are also defined with <LI> tags.

 Example: 

<ol type = 1>

<li> item number 1

<li> item number 2

<li> item number 3

</ol>

The results of the above code are:

1. Item number 1
2. Item number 2
3. Item number 3

Lists Definition: <DL>

Example:

<dl> 

<dt> first item. 

<dd> explanation of the first item. 

<dt> second item. 

<dd> explanation of the second item 

</dl>

The results of the above code are: 

first item.

explanation of the first item.

second item.

explanation of the second item

IMAGE

Used to display gif images or animations on your web page. Attributes: alt, align = (center, left, right), hspave, vspace, border, width & height.

Example: 

<img src = "logo.gif" alt = "this is the opening page logo" width = 200 height = 100> <img src = "logo.gif" hspace = 10 vspace = 5 align = right border = 2>

TABLE 

In making homepages, tables have functions that are no less important than other HTML tags. First the table functions to display information in a structured, concise and easy to read manner, both functions to set the appearance of the homepage to make it more attractive. 

The main tag for the table is <TABLE> </ TABLE> and to make the table title tag the table header <TH> </ TH> then to create table data or table contents using table data tags <TD> </ TD> and for creating rows is to use the Table Rows <TR> </ TR> tag.

FORM

Form is usually used to collect information from the user, allowing a web server to receive information from the user through a number of elements called controls. This control can be a textbox, checkbox, radio button, push button, menu list and more.

Writing standard form: 

<form method = "post / get" action = url ">

…… ..

…….

</form>

The method attribute has two post and get values. The get method sends data to the server by placing data at the end of the designated URL. The post method sends the data separately. If the input data is a lot, it is better to use the post method. The action attribute contains the URL of the program called by the form.

TEXTBOX

Textbox is one type of control for entering data. HTML provides the <input> tag with the type = "text" attribute for creating input boxes. Another attribute is name to name the input, Value attribute to give an input value and size attribute to determine the longest limit for an input.

In our textbox you can also hide input written by the user by giving a type = "password" value. The input will be the character "*"..

CHECKBOX

Checkbox is used to give several choices to the user. With the checkbox the user can choose one, more than one choice or not at all choose.

RADIO

in Radio type, the user chooses one of the available options, so the user cannot choose less or more choices. The Checked attribute indicates that the option is being activated.

SUBMIT and RESET

Each form must have a minimum submit and reset button. To make it use the type = "submit" and type = "reset" attributes. The submit button is used when a user fills out a form and wants to send it to the server. While reset is used when the user wants to delete all entries written.

Best Way For Increasing CPC Adsense

Why is my AdSense CPC low?

Tinkering with the CPC is indeed complicated. The fluctuation is influenced by many factors. According to the Adsense experts (oath not me), the low cost of advertising is most often caused by the things below.



State or Geography

Worldwide, the price of mobile phones certainly varies. So is the click price. If you target audiences in countries with cheap click values, surely CPC also suffers.

Niche Web

Niche has a big influence on the value of CPC. There are several niches with an average CPC lower than others. Rates for clicking on ads on blog property (real estate) are not necessarily the same as game blogs.

The problem is that the conversion of ad clicks from the audience is sometimes often interrupted by ad-blocker plugins installed on the user's browser.

Promo program

The promo program is a golden opportunity for advertisers to get a profit boom through advertising on the website. Not infrequently, well-known brands are pushing ads in AdWords.

Based on the RTB algorithm (real time bidding), many products participate in "complaining". This surge in advertizer is believed to weaken advertising rates on related products.

Mobile Platform

It's no secret, a lot of web traffic comes from cellphones. You pay attention to this article can be via a mobile device. If your website is not responsive, let alone rank on SERP's - your CPC can also fall.

Video Ads

Video ads are like a double-edged sword for CPC. According to Google, TrueView YouTube ads cause a significant decrease in CPC values on all platforms.

But in fact, currently video ads are widely used by advertisers. By placing it on YouTube rather than on the website, From here Google can save advertisers costs. In effect, the value of the CPC experiences 'poor nutrition'.

Ad targeting

Jenis penargetan mempengaruhi tingkat CTR dan nilai CPC bagi publisher.

Adsense bekerja melalui perayapan konten di halaman web. Saat perayap kesulitan mengidentifikasi konten web Anda, iklan yang muncul ngga akan nyambung dengan isi konten sehingga ongkos kliknya pun susah ditebak.

Blocking ads

AdSense frees the publisher to choose what ads appear. Select ads that you want to ‘be eliminated‘ through a list of blocked ads.

But remember, blocking one impact advertiser can reduce competition for all your ad inventory.

Annual moment

During the holiday season, CPC fluctuates as many advertisers change budget planning. Advertisers want to click as much as possible, even though the quality is low.

They are willing to throw money at a cheap click rate because they know Google will place the ad anywhere.

Ad size and quantity

Each ad unit has a different performance. Error choosing the size of the ad (without conversion), and determining the number of ads installed can undermine your CPC value.

Ad placement

Google wants your web users to click on as many ads as possible in the format of placement of ads that are correct according to the rules. In this case the publisher is prohibited from cheating the user.

Unfortunately, publishers are sometimes indifferent even though the consequences of the CPC drop or even revenue is lost due to sanctions.

Smart Pricing

If unconverted ad clicks become business transactions, Google smart pricing will apply to all of your accounts. The result? CPC fees are guaranteed to drop..

How to Increase the CPC of Google AdSense ads

I remind you once again, increasing CPC (cost per click) Adsense ads is not an easy matter. Just one or two actions have not guaranteed the CPC is fat right away.

You must be smart to read the behavior of ads from scattered pieces of elements. To support it, here are 12 tips that you can begin to apply.

1. Shoot longtail keywords - expensive rates

For ad serving, Google still relies on keywords. This is good news for publishers. That is, the opportunity to target the keyword jumbo longtail rates is still wide open.

Optimize the performance of your AdSense keywords like a stockbroker. Enter the high CPC keywords in the content that you make.

There are several keywords that can contribute hundreds of dollars for a single click. However, you don't insist on stuffing with it. The contents of the page must remain relevant and have quality. If not, the Smart Pricing algorithm can actually KO your CPC value.

To be more effective, use tools such as SEMRush or LongTailPro. Find high tariff phrases that are suitable for your audience.

2. Promote High Earning Content

Try searching for your blog. Find content that has higher CTR and CPC than other content.

If you have found it, install the content as the "Featured Entry" widget. The goal is to stimulate the growth of all your ad inventory.

How do you run it, bro? Easy.

Enter the Search Console -> Search Traffic -> Browse Analytic. The page that appears is the input of keywords from visitors in Google search results that point to your website.

The next task, find keywords with high CTR. Develop your smart idea to continue to explore where the gold content is.

If you find articles on topics that lead to CPC jumbo, immediately create derivative articles according to existing keywords.

3. Use the best ad sizes

Adsense experts agree, the size and placement of ads contribute to the highest CPC. Google also shows where the best-performing ad sizes are.


To find out the size of the ad with the highest CPC value, play a variety of existing ad choices. But according to Google, the most optimal ad sizes are 720x90, 336x280, 160x600, and 320x100 cellular banners.

Start experimenting with the size suggested by Google. When the results are not enough, you can start by testing the variations in the size of your own ad.

The best way to determine the size of an ad unit is through experimentation.

4. Take advantage of the Adsense Ad Review Center

Don't get me wrong, there is also a clueless advertizer (hard to understand). Whether intentionally or not, they designed the appearance of bad ads. Make people BeTe and lazy.


As a publisher, you have complete control of the 'ride' product promotion on your website. Choose only ads that want to pay dearly.

But remember, don't block ads that shouldn't be blocked. If there is too much ad blocking, CPC can actually go down because the number of advertisers in the auction bidding on your inventory decreases.

Use the Adsense ad review center to block ads that deserve to be blocked.

5. The Most Competitive Ad Filter

Still in the Ad Review Center, Ad Filter aims to filter out unwanted advertisements. You may block ads for certain domains or for all AdSense accounts.


This method in addition to increasing CPC also prevents your audience from turning to other websites just because of annoying ads.

6. Mobile friendly ad settings

Besides being important for SEO, mobile advertising also plays a role in the CPC. Many advertizers dare to pay dearly for cellular clicks through the installation of exclusive mobile application advertisements.

For that, choose responsive ads. Or create a mobile ad unit separately specifically for the layout of your content on a small size screen.

Create a separate AdSense setup for mobile.

7. Link the Analytics and AdSense accounts

AdSense reports give you a lot of information. But, in Analytics you can get more than that.

"Hot spots" pages that visitors often click on are clearly displayed. From there you can know high CPC traffic. Where it came from and where it came from.

If your Adsense is not connected to a Google Analytics account, marry now.

8. You have to "Googley"

Googley means integrating with Google.

So, just synchronizing with Analytics is not enough. Google prioritizes loyal publishers. They need a dedication.

As much as possible, register your Gmail account with Google products. Including Webmaster Tools, Google Business, Youtube Channel, Google Tag Manager, etc.

The more you curl up to Google, the more AdSense puts you in "trust" with advertisers who have higher pay. Makes sense right?

9. Avoid Smart Pricing with qualify traffic

If you may theorize, "visitors who are not interested in your niche, it is impossible to click on an ad".

So, to control the advertising CPC value, make sure your traffic meets the requirements.

CPC won't budge when people click on ads that aren't related to the keywords or phrases they use when landing on your site. Maybe visitors only click on ads without any intention of buying.

Just to remember, the Google Adsense TOS is now getting tougher. Accounts can be suspended if there are too many clicks on your site without conversion to sales.

The reason is simple.

Advertisers are Adsense partners who always want high ROI. In any way, they will ensure that the money that comes out must bring the best conversion value from a click.

This is the importance of the relevance of web pages with certain keywords in order to synchronize ads with target keywords.

If not, Google has its own way of analyzing your site's performance. As a result, a high CPC can function without being asked.

The relevance of content will increase the value of AdSense CPC

10. Adjust the number of ads with Content Length

First publishers may only install 3 ad units on one page. That is now no longer valid. Now Adsense allows you to install more than that.

With this new policy, it does not mean that you can cast advertisements. Remember, Google aports ads according to their content. In other words, the number of ads must match the length of the content.

If your web page contains short content, just install a maximum of 1-2 ad units. But if more than 1000 words (long content), you can install 3 ad units at a time or more.

Tough content but scattered ads can cause ads that appear not relevant to your niche. This condition can reduce the CPC drastically.

No need to be lustful. Many people "win a lot" with just one ad unit on their short content page. Logically, all ads will focus on topics with higher CPCs.

11. Use AdSense Channel

Test through the AdSense channel. Create custom channels to target CPC and CTR ad units.

Measure the performance of each channel for a period of 2-4 weeks. From the results of the experiment, design your Adsense strategy. Remove unproductive ads, or rotation of position.


Google will reward high CPCs on the best performing ads. That's because advertisers pay for maximum exposure.

In addition, the Adsense channel can also be used to compare the performance of each ad size.

12. Learn the Heat Maps

Heat Maps is a representation of a web page that shows the tendency of visitors to spend their time on a site.

Heat Maps gives an indication when the user's mouse is dancing hovering above your web page. Even in the updated version (ClickTale, Crazy Egg, etc) you can find out where they clicked.

With Heat Maps you can place AdSense Ads in the most popular areas on your site to increase the chances of clicks, increase CTR, and of course make earnings more fat.

How to find and tracking your lost phone

Worried about misplacing your phone or (worse yet) having it stolen? Ease your fears and set up a tracking system before your worst case scenario strikes. You'll get the best results if your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi signal but GPS and mobile networks will still manage to pinpoint a fairly accurate location. You must also have a Google account for virtually all of the tracking services available, whether they are built in or downloaded.

• Find your phone with third-party apps
• The best solution

How to locate your phone using Google

Most Android phones now come with Find My Device (formerly Android Device Manager) built in. This service will automatically track your phone's location, so if it ever goes missing you can hop on your laptop or a friend's phone and find its last known location, ring your phone if it's nearby and you need a hint, or lock and/or erase your phone if you fear it has been stolen.
The most important thing you can do is make sure your phone is set up to be found before it goes missing. Otherwise, you're basically on your own.

How to enable Find My Device on your phone

In newer Android phones, a shortcut to the Find My Device service is already located conveniently in your Settings app, but you might still need to download Find My Device from the Google Play Store to get it set up. This locating service has essentially amalgamated with Google to make finding your phone easier. There are just a couple of things you'll need to activate.

1. Launch Settings.
2. Tap Security & lock screen.
3. Tap Device administrator
   
4. Tap Find My Device so that a checkmark appears in the checkbox.
5. Tap the back button in the top left corner of your screen.
6. Tap the back button again in the top left corner to return to the main Settings menu.
   
   
7. Tap Location in the main Settings menu.
8. Tap the switch beside Location at the top of the screen so that it turns on.
9. Tap Mode.
   
   
10. Tap High accuracy so the circle is filled in.
11. Tap the back button in the top left corner.
12. Tap Google Location History.
    
    
13. Tap the switch beneath Location History so that it turns on.
14. Tap the switch beside your device so that it turns on.

How to locate your phone with Google

Should you happen to lose your phone, you can locate its whereabouts by logging into your Google account from any computer or even from another phone.

1. Launch a web browser from a phone, tablet, or computer.
2. Navigate to android.com/find.
3. If necessary, enter your email address and password just as though you were checking your email. If you have 2-step verification set up on your Google account (and you most certainly should), you'll need to complete that process as well.

With Find My Device open, you have three options to choose from:

• You can play a sound so that it makes noise (even if you had it on silent). This feature is helpful if the map indicates that the phone is within earshot and you simply can't see it.
• You can secure your device so that the finder can't access your home screen. This feature is most helpful if your phone wasn't previously secured with a passcode or a fingerprint sensor.
• You can erase your phone. This is the best option if you know for certain that you aren't likely to retrieve your phone.

If you are trying to locate your phone with Find My Device and it doesn't seem to be working, the most likely cause is that your phone is not currently connected to Wi-Fi or an available network. In this case, it's important to keep trying; the moment your phone does make that connection, it will appear on the map.
If you want to download a tracking app for fear of a missing phone crisis, there are a number of options to choose from, and we're highlighting some choice picks for you.
This is only a selection of the features available in Find My Device. Hit the guide below for more!
Find My Device: Everything you need to know!

Locate your phone in your house using Google Home

It's embarrassingly easy to lose your phone by putting it down somewhere in your house and forgetting where you placed it. This can be frustrating if it's time to leave for work or some other appointment and you're frantically scrambling around your home looking for it.
If you own a Google Home speaker, you can use Google Assistant to help find your phone. Your Android phone must be logged into the same Google account as your Google Home speaker, you must have linked your Google account and voice to your Google Home via the Home app, and your phone must be turned on and connected to the internet either via mobile data or Wi-Fi. You will also need to have Find My Device turned on, which you should absolutely activate for any Android phone you're using.
As long as your phone is still on and connected to the Internet, all you need to do is say "okay Google, find my phone," and Google will confirm which device you want to find and then turn the ringer on — even if you have your phone set to silent. With Google Home's multi-user support, everyone in your home can use Google Home to find their phones if they're lost as long as they've linked their Google Accounts to Google Home using Voice Match.

Find your phone with third-party apps

While Google's built-in option is definitely your best bet, there are some third-party options you might want to consider. We've broken down the best third-party apps for finding your phone below.

Family Locator

The Family Locator app by Life360 is essentially a GPS tracker for phones but is especially useful for families with multiple phones in use. Your family members become a "Circle", the app's name for a closed group of people who consent to have their phones tracked in real time. Your family members will appear on live maps within the app as little icons so that you can see where everyone is at any given moment.
The app also allows you to chat with people in your Circle or broadcast a meeting time and location. And, of course, if a phone from within your Circle is ever lost or stolen, the app will track it on the map.
Download: Family Locator (Free with in-app purchases)

Cerberus anti theft

This locator app from Cerberus offers an impressive array of remote control features if you find your phone has been lost or stolen. You'll still be able to lock, ring, or erase your phone, but you'll also be able to remotely access your camera or sound a loud alarm from your phone, even if it was on silent mode when you lost it.
The advanced features allow you to hide Cerberus in your app drawer so that it can't be detected if and when your phone is found or stolen. Your missing phone will transmit data to you via the Cerberus website or via SMS text from another phone with the Cerberus app installed.
Download: Cerberus anti theft (Free with in-app purchases)

Prey Anti Theft

The Prey Anti Theft app is impressive in that three different devices can be protected through one download. You'll have the ability to sound an alarm from your missing phone, take screenshots if it's in use, and lock down the device the moment you realize it's missing.
Once you've downloaded the app, it will walk you through a series of tutorials to show you how to use your Prey Account to track your phone. The app itself is free and doesn't require additional purchases in order to access the high-end features.

Lost Android will allow you to have remote access to your missing phone via their website. Here, you'll be able to erase sensitive information if you fear that your phone may never be returned, or send messages to your phone in the hopes of someone finding and returning it.
Additionally, you can choose to remotely forward any calls you may be missing to another number and record a running list of any calls or messages made or photos taken with your phone.

Where's My Droid

The basic features of the Where's My Droid app allow you to ring your phone if you misplace it, locate it via GPS on Google Maps, and use a passcode to prevent unauthorized changes to apps on your Android phone. Stealth Mode also prevents anyone who finds your phone from seeing your incoming text messages; instead, they'll see a customizable attention word that alerts them of the phone's lost or stolen status.
The Pro version of the app, which you pay to use, lets you remotely wipe data from your phone, use a landline to access your phone, and remotely lock the device.

The best solution

Google's phone location tools are your best bet — as long as you've gone through the process of setting things up ahead of time. Really, this should be something you set up on any device you care about or that will have sensitive data stored on it, especially with how easy Google has made it to locate your device should you lose it.
Of course, one of the benefits of Android is having the freedom to customize your experience as you see fit. If for whatever reason Google's offering just doesn't cut it for you, you should consider the third-party options we've highlighted above, as they include some clever features that might give you some added peace of mind if your device goes missing.
If your phone is stolen or found and it's then factory reset, you will not be able to rely on any apps or services to find it; a factory reset will wipe out any of the original data, accounts, or passwords that are needed to remotely find your Android phone.
As always, exercise caution when retrieving a lost or stolen phone. If you have any concerns about it being lost or stolen, it's best to set up and test your preferred tracking system as soon as you buy it and contact the police. It can be a bit of extra front-end work to register some apps, but it will be more work trying to locate a missing phone if no safety nets are in place at all

8. Chitika

The reason I put Chitika on the number 8 of this list, is because Chitika is very similar to Adsense. they allow you to customize your ads, and it only serves contextual ads. One good thing is that you can use it along with Adsense and there are no problems at all. Chitika pays via Paypal ($10 USD minimum, which is good for starters) or via check ($50 minimum).

Yllix has Pop under ads, mobile redirects, sliders, layer ads and full page ads so you can get a good CTR and make money with them. Definitely a good option for starters and their approval is fast. Sign up here.

10. Amazon Associates

Amazon is the biggest online store in the world, so they must be doing something good. Well, if you have a website that talks about any product that can be found on Amazon, then Amazon associates could work for you. Amazon allows you to put dynamic image ads to your blog, so that you can promote them and while this isn’t a Pay-per-click or CPM program, it will pay you a small commission for everything they sell from your links. So let’s say you have a blog about Apple products and you put an ad driving them to buy an iPod or just a cable. If they buy it, an small commission will be for you. So if you sell a $10 cable you might receive a few cents, but sell a $1500 Laptop and you might receive $100.

 

The good thing is that everything they buy through your link (even if it isn’t the product you recommended at first) will generate a commission for your. the only con I find with Amazon, is that they need to send you a check that could take weeks to arrive to your home, unless you live in the United Stated of America where you can provide your Bank account. You can use this with Adsense at the same time. We also have more information about Amazon affiliate websites in the blog.
