FREE Website hosting???

I am wondering how WebHosting companies can afford to host FREE sites on
their servers! Anyone know how they get their income??
Thanks

    Advertising… advertising… advertising.

    All of the free hosts have popup windows with sponsor’s messages in
    them.  Geocities just added the little "corner bug" too, making for two
    major ways to present their sponsors to the world.

    here is my free site….. and you have no way of knowing that it is
    not a paid server. ( it is a sub-domain)

    but it’s good, and it is free

    Yes, I’m curious too. And then back to the original thread…Do they make
    any claims on how they pay for their free hosting service? (Curious about
    that too.)

    Advertising.. these servers always have banners or sounds or addon
    winwos that you have to put up with, BUT they are giving you a service
    for no cost to you!.
