Free Fully managed / online FTP servers:

Some hosting companies provides “free” FTP server as part of their “free” plan. And so, all you need to do is create a free account, and have access to fully managed / online FTP servers with free FTP storage.

  • ProFreeHost: seems to good to be true, but they promise unlimited bandwidth and storage
  • BPlaced: nice option if you are German
  • InfinityFree: also promise of unlimited space and bandwidth - but 10MB maximum file size
  • ByetHost: free like a pro - 5GB worth of storage space, 10MB maximum file size, PHP, Mysql and more
  • 000webhost: 300MB space, 3GB bandwith, PHP Mysql - advantage here it has no ads
