#2. How to Get free hosting with c-panel ?

What is important here is that we choose hosting that is free,  has no advertising and that has options allowing us to install SQL Database for our WordPress website.

My preferable choice was 000Webhost  ($0.00 webhost)

This is what they offer:

*1500 MB of disk space
* 100 GB of data transfer
* PHP and MySQL support with no restrictions
* cPanel control panel
* Website Builder
* Absolutely no advertising! 

It was good enough for me.
