I would like to create my own faucet but I am having trouble finding a web hosting site that I like. Are there any recommended sites? Are any of them free?

I have the script but I need a webhosting site

look in here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=212.0
There are tuts about how to make faucet in there and also which free hosting can be used.

I was running a faucetbox-based faucet over a year ago. I have used free hosting service from https://byet.host/free-hosting
It offers everything you need to start your faucet. I have only tested it with faucetbox. I do not know if every other faucet script is also running smoothly on the service because the php.ini is very strictly.

You can have free hosting but still need to buy the domain. Most of domain sellers will offer you a free hosting usually for one year, then you have to pay or quit.
try namecheap

 

Byethost support said they don't allow faucet related sites. Tried twice and got suspended twice :-[

DigitalOcean provide really good VPS machines for as little as USD$5 a month. I've been using them for 3 years and have had no problems with them. You have greater control over how the VPS runs, but you have to know what you are doing (they do provide backups for a small additional fee, which I also use).

Free hosting providers are quite unreliable, and are too strict in what you can and can't do (even for legal things). If you can afford USD$5 a month, it would be better for you in a long run - you can have many websites and databases (as the VPS will allow), and you could easily make that USD$5 back every month if you market your site/s well enough.

I recommended namecheap for small faucet or people who people who is new.
If you have large amount of traffic, then VPS is better.
If you want free host, try hostinger  ;D ;D ;D
