How To Decide Between Free Web Hosting And Paid Web Hosting?
August 13, 2007 | By markneter | Topics: Article, Web Hosting
There are many choices for hosting your webpage or blog either free or paid. But why to pay for a hosting package while they are free ones? I suggest you to read the article “What do free web hosts gain from offering free web hosting?” before this one if you didn’t read it already. The question is “Are you rich enough to buy cheap things?” It may sound strange but sometimes free web hosting might be more expensive then paid hosting solutions. However, it doesn’t mean that choosing a free web hosting provider is not wise action. It depends on some parameters, which I am going to list below;
1. For what purpose are you going to use the web hosting?
Are you going to use the hosting to make a simple page to publish your child’s photos to show your close friends or relatives? Are you going to use the hosting to operate your blog that will be visited by only your friends? Are you going to blog about something popular that will get a lot of hits? Are you going to sell some products, even open an online store? Are you going to use it for your company web site? Are you going to make money on that web site on some way?
In other words, How many visitors do you expect? What software are you going to use? Are you sensitive about the uptime? Are you sensitive about your “own” brand?
Most of the free web hosting providers put ads on your webpage, and the others are setting some restrictions for the service. Even there are some providers with no ads and a little restrictions, the “free” may harm your pages prestige. Say that you are okey with “free”, but what if you need a better hosting package? Be aware that migration to another provider is not an easy process, on some situations almost impossible.
I recommend you to pay for your own hosting because it gives you a wealth of choices, much more storage space, much more bandwidth and almost no restrictions. Having a support staff at the end of the phone line is another advantage of paid hosting. If you don’t need or want to pay for the hosting, just surf arround this page and you will find one that fits your needs for sure.
