Facts You Need To Learn About Free Website Hosting

By John Chan


Initial investment is needed for establishing a home based business. However, there are people who believe that they can start their website free-of-cost with a free web-hosting company. It's possible to establish a website with these services, but one shouldn't expect good performance from the service provider. After launching your web blog with a free of charge hosting service, you may encounter some serious issues. These problems include low web space, no FTPs, lack of documentation, and undesirable adverts on your website from the free web-hosting company.

The three most critical items that you have to look at before choosing any hosting service are space, data transfer rate, and add-ons. The add-ons include things like additional domain names, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) accounts, Data Base Management Systems (DBMS) etc. Generally free web hosts, don't provide any add-ons and the quantity of disk space and bandwidth offered is also limited. This may lead to an poor quality site, sluggish download speeds, very low CTRs to mention a few of the issues which might arise.

Modern websites are usually powered by server-side programming languages like PHP, Python and Ruby On Rails. These websites are known as dynamic websites and they are quite resource intensive as opposed to websites powered by HTML only. Hosting a dynamic website on a free server is never a good idea. If your site has a lot of script files, then you should go for sophisticated hosting services. Problems you might face on a free server are low loading speeds and downtime.

All the free web hosting service providers take numerous measures to reduce their cost of business. One of these steps is to store the data of a lot of sites on the same server. Therefore, if one of the website sharing your hosting server is attacked by a computer virus, the probability of that virus spreading through to your website is quite high. You may expect the same result if there is some database error experienced by the hosting server. There's no free web-hosting service that gives 24x7 instant support to make sure that your site functions correctly, this further increases the downtime of your website.

It's safe to say that free web-hosting is suitable for newcomers or people learning to operate a website and who are not effected by poor performance of their website. Because it's FREE to host website with these web-hosting services, it's a great way to gain experience of running a website.
