Free Web Site Hosting Vs. Paid / Professional Web Site Hosting
March 27th, 2010
There are many web hosting companies on the internet which provide you with free hosting accounts. Why pay for something when you are getting it for free… right? Well, nothing good comes for free and this is why i am writing this article to point out a few limitations a free web hosting company would have and not mention them.
1. They have the right to run ads on your hosting account without your permission
2. You may not be able to add your own domain name to the account
3. If they allow you to add your domain name then there is a charge for it
4. You have very limited disk space
5. You will not be able to create professional email account
6. You will not rank well on Search Engines as your domain name will be a free subdomain (e.g. myspace.freehosting.com)
7. You will not be able to have dynamic content on your free hosting
8. You will not be able to run a blog or a ecommerce portal
9. Most of the time java scripts are disabled on free hosting and so you will not be able to add Google Adsense and make money from your website
10. You have very limited Support
The above are just a few limitations when you host for free, why not choose a professional host when you are getting hosting for as low as Rs.600/year?
