Preface to Platform as a Service WordPress Free Hosting For Dummies

Platform as a Service is typical sub class of Cloud Computing service model. I for example, can take Infrastructure as a Service, which is one level up than Platform as a Service without the need to have a real data center and install proper softwares to give the users the free Platform as a Service model to use. It is obvious that, there will be paid service models from which I will gain money (webhosting can not be free in that way). There is no fuss of forced ad or any redirection like many Free host used to provide a decade ago.

It is not mandatory, but one can read about the Cloud Computing Service models for making the Platform as a Service thing clear. From our calculation, PaaS is not a great idea to use on paid model with medium to higher usage, you can directly use an unmanaged cloud server at the same cost – it is actually the IaaS.
