What you should know about free-of-charge web site hosting

A lot of web hosting vendors at the moment are providing charge-free hosting solutions, gaining more and more clients. The charge-free solution is adequate if you possess a personal online portal or if you are not willing to invest money for a paid professional site hosting solution. Let's examine some of the strong and weak sides of the charge-free website hosting solution in general.

Positive Point Number One: Free-of-Charge Web Hosting is... Free-of-Charge

The most important advantage is that you get a top free hosting solution - this would exclude any costs associated with keeping a personal portal, an online blog, a forum, or even a small company site. Since the free web page hosting service providers are also offering regular shared hosting plans, they will strive to provide you with a reliable service and to assure you that their web servers are reliable. If you receive a dependable charge-free service, it indicates that you'd receive an even finer paid service, so it is in their own self-interest to furnish you with a satisfactory free-of-cost web hosting solution. This will make you more prone to think about ordering a cloud web hosting account from them in the near future.

Benefit No.2: Spares You Money

The free hosting service is a suitable option if you do not want to spend money for your website or you are performing your first moves in website design and wish to discover how well you can do, but you are unwilling to pay money for that. Besides, if you require an online portal for a certain event such as a class reunion, a fundraising mission, or regional elections, you may consider a free web hosting account as you will not be restricted by any service contracts and you will not have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis for the web space hosting package, which you may not even make use of once the occasion has gone by.

Negative Sign Number One: Forced Ads

No matter how apt the free-of-charge web site hosting solution might appear, it also has negative points ? precisely because it is charge-free. Since the customers do not pay for their web hosting accounts, the only way for the hosting vendor to offer this service is to post advertisements on each and every page of your web portal. Certain hosts even make use of popup windows and this may deter your website visitors from exploring it or from returning again in the future. The commercials will also make any business page look amateurish ? very few people would purchase anything from a web hosting service provider that cannot afford to give money for its own personal online portal.

Shortcoming Number 2: Minimal Tech Support

There are some tech limitations too. Because the hosting service is free-of-cost, the disk storage space, monthly traffic and file size quotas are generally very limited, while mail or database support is not always available. You can upgrade either the whole plan to a reliable hosting package, or you can upgrade just one functionality, such as hard disk storage space, based on the upgrade choices offered by the free hosting firm that you use. Another negative side is that you may obtain inadequate or no customer and technical support and that there is no guarantee for the reliability of the hosting servers. Every web host wants to offer reliable solutions, but since you do not pay a single dime, as is the case with the free-of-cost web page hosting solution, you cannot hope to obtain such solutions.

Affordable Web Page Hosting - The Finer Choice?

Taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of the free web hosting solution, you can elect whether you need such a package or a professional one. Some web hosting web hosting distributors like 'Lonex ', for instance, provide a number of traditional web hosting plans that are quite cheap and immensely surpass the resources delivered by any free-of-cost website hosting package.
