Disadvantages of Free HostsThere are definite advantages to free web hosts, and free web space with no ads is even better. But if you compare free web hosting versus cheap web hosting you may be surprised. This article will cover some pros and cons of free web hosting services.
Why Free Hosts Aren't So Good As far as web hosting is concerned, you definitely get what you pay for (and sometimes less than you pay for!) Below are the disadvantages to free hosts: Little/No Support Free hosts generally offer no customer support to their free customers and if they do it is low priority. While many free users are new to web hosting, neglectful support can ruin the hosting experience. Overcrowded Servers Free hosts are not known for their reliability and uptime. Often the servers web hosts put free users on may be overcrowded and slow or even frequently down. Since it is relatively simple to get a free web host company started this article has all rights reserved and is copyright by 100 Best many free hosts are fly-by-night operations and care little for the long term well being of users files. Less Features Free web hosting plans usually don't include advanced features, software, and email services that paid ones do. (ex. PHP, MySQL, FTP accounts, and POP email) Ad Banners To fund the free hosts, web hosts add an advertisement in the form of a text link, banner or pop-up to free users web sites. Many users find these ads take away from the design of their site, or are a nuisance to their visitors. Why I Like Free Hosts As a webmaster, I like to use free hosts to host my non-profit sites, or web sites that are in their beginning stages. It is easy to sign-up for a free web site to try out new site ideas, or just to store files for a while. Related Article: Why Choose Free Hosting? >> FREE WEB HOSTING GLOSSARY TERMS
