Web Hosting Paid or Free?
© Illa Maden November 2006
When considering whether to get web hosting that is paid or free, maybe a
better question to ask yourself is how serious you are about building a real business.
Profitable home based businesses on the internet can actually be
built at bargain prices compared with the cost of building a business offline.
Some questions to ponder in regard to free web hosting are:
|
1. How much storage space does free hosting
offer? 2. What is the bandwidth? 3 Can you upgrade
from free to paid web hosting if your site grows?
|
4. What happens when you need help? 5. Do
they include PHP? 6. Do they put advertisements or banners on your site?
7. How many mailboxes?
|
These are just a few of the questions I would have about free web hosting.
Web hosting that's paid can be reasonably priced and offers many benefits
|
1. No banners or advertisements that are annoying at THE least, and may
conflict with website content. 2. PHP 3. Paid web
hosting offers service when a problem arises.
|
4. MySQL databases 5. Bandwidth and storage
that is more than adequate. 6. CGI 7.
Auto-responders, mailboxes, tracking and more

Web hosting paid vs web hosting free
Before you accept free web hosting, do a little research. Go to several paid web hosting
sites and review the benefits they offer. Uptime is a benefit I didn't address, but is an important consideration.
You can look at my favorite paid web hosting, which offers many extra benefits and is very
responsive, and do a search on the web and compare plans and features.
Moving a website is not a fun activity. If your website grows will you have to find a paid web
hosting service and move your website? If you are serious about a business this is something to think about.
Consider the benefits of paid web hosting over free web hosting and make an informed decision.
