Why do providers offer free hosting?

[AIKOO]

What is it? are you bored, or just nuts...

why do hosting providers offer free hosting that
includes no ads, no posts... whats the point?

Servers Cost money, Space, Bandwidth,
Time, Resources - all cost $$$

So what is it? did someone not pay enough attention
to some of you when growing up? Do you have a Sickness
for attention? Why would you want to offer all this for free.

and some of these free providers are offering just unrealistic
resources for free, so they would indeed need dedicated
servers to keep up with demand, and again all this
costs big $$$ - in the end users take advantage of this free
service, they complain, they want you to install their scripts,
and to be honest, free is never really enough for them.

Ive seen users make some of the most unrealistic posts in my life
from wanting huge accounts, down to basicly wanting someone
to give them a dedicated server.


So whats the deal?

The most free hosts ive seen offer the service for advertisements and brand name...and they also have upgrades which u can use if u want to remove the limits...:P thats the reason why we offer free hosting
