What you should know about free hosting

Lots of hosting firms nowadays are offering free website hosting accounts, enticing more and more clients. The cost-free solution is okay if you keep a personal website or if you do not wish to spend money for a paid professional web hosting package. Let's take a look at some of the strengths and weaknesses of the free-of-cost hosting solution in general.

Strong Side Number 1: Free-of-Charge Website Hosting is... Free

The greatest strength is that you get a top free hosting solution - this would eliminate any costs connected with administering a personal portal, an online blog, a forum, or even a small corporate web site. Since the free web site hosting firms are also providing regular shared hosting packages, they will give their best to offer you a decent service and to persuade you that their web servers are reliable. If you obtain a dependable free-of-cost service, it indicates that you'd get an even greater paid service, so it is in their best self-interest to furnish you with a reliable free-of-charge web hosting service. This will make you more prone to consider buying a cloud web hosting solution from them in the future.

Perquisite Number Two: Saves You Money

The free hosting solution is an appropriate alternative if you do not want to give cash for your web site or you are making your initial steps in web design and want to find out how well you can manage, but you are not willing to pay money for that. Moreover, if you want an online portal for a particular event like a class assembly, a fund raising operation, or local elections, you may think about a cost-free web site hosting package as you will not be restricted by any service-level agreements and you will not need to pay on a monthly or yearly basis for the webspace hosting service, which you may not even make use of once the occasion has gone by.

Disadvantage No.1: Forced Adverts

Regardless of how decent the free website hosting service might appear, it also has drawbacks ? exactly because it is free-of-cost. Since the customers do not pay for their web page hosting packages, the only way for the company to offer this service is to insert adverts on each page of your website. Some hosting suppliers even utilize popup windows and this may prevent your site visitors from visiting it or from returning again in the near future. The advertisements will also make any company portal look amateurish ? few people would purchase anything from a web host that cannot afford to pay for its own site.

Downside Number 2: Limited Technical Support

There are some tech limitations as well. Because the hosting service is free-of-cost, the hard disk storage, traffic and file size quotas are commonly quite restricted, while email or database support is not invariably present. You can upgrade either the whole package to a reliable hosting plan, or you can upgrade just a single feature, such as server space, based on the upgrade alternatives offered by the free hosting supplier that you utilize. Another drawback is that you may get restricted or no customer and technical support and that there is no warranty for the dependability of the web servers. Every web hosting supplier would like to offer dependable services, but since you do not pay a single cent, as is the case with the free-of-cost webspace hosting service, you cannot expect to obtain such solutions.

Cut-Rate Web Hosting - The Preferable Choice?

Examining the strengths and weaknesses of the free web hosting solution, you can choose whether you need such a plan or a paid professional one. Certain web hosting providers like 'Lonex ', for example, provide a bouquet of traditional web hosting plans that are quite cheap and greatly exceed the resources delivered by any free web site hosting package.
