As an individual if you are always on the look out for cheap and most times freebies on the internet, one of the very many free gifts you will find easily on is the free web hosting. Just as the name of such hosting accounts implies, you will get your hosting request approved almost immediately without delay and your websites is ready to go online. But all that comes free you should never forget has hidden price tags that most times out weigh the benefits that come with its usage. In making a firm choice of the hosting package to go for when setting up an online business/venture, there are something’s you can’t afford to joke with. And one of such very critical items is your web hosting package.
Free web hosting accounts has no guarantees on its package and as such never put you mind on quality or reasonable uptime level using such accounts. This sort of web hosting account are mainly for practice by newbie’s who are fresh in online business and are probably looking for a cost free web hosting package to try out their skills with. Another funny thing about this sort of hosting account is that, the hosting companies more times than not will place an ad on the bottom as well as the top of your website making it look very childish and unserious for any form of monetary transaction. Yes you don’t need to be surprised by the fact that they choose to place those ads because someone has to pay for the price of their servers. So what they do is give you a free web hosting account and then place ads randomly all over your site with the intention of generating income from these ads.
Also is this major draw backs on these free web hosting account is the fact that most of them don’t offer you accounts with MSQL database. So you really can’t set up any form of data base on these account and you are also not offered a Cpanel on your free account. What you just have is a funny and empty hosting account for you to just basically show off your websites and a few graphics links you site banner. The benefits are really few and as such even as a newbie you are advised not to go on promoting a site hosted on a free web host because of the fact that these companies will offer you a sub account with their domain name. What this implies is that your website will look like this http://www.yourfreewebhostcompany.info/yourusername. As you can see from this sort of domain main, you are only marketing the company indirectly. And when it’s time for you to have your own domain name and possibly move to a paid hosting, it becomes difficult to redirect all of your traffic.
As you will smartly agree with me, you really have no business going for free web hosting account /package as the advantages out weighs its very few benefits to you.
