Benefits And Limitations Of A Free Web Hosting



Those who are looking to get their site live on a freeweb hosting sites should consider a few things that we have mentioned in this blog post. 

The world is filled with start-up companies. There is a new trend going on these days, i.e., to open a firm. People who have worked in big companies for a significant amount of time have the skills to open their own firm. The business idea would be similar, but the implementation would be done on a smaller scale, as we are talking about start-ups.

In today’s world, the most important thing that start-ups require is an idea and a website. People have idea, or should I say, they are full of mind-blowing ideas, so the other thing they require is a website. Creating a website is also not a difficult thing, as one can do it on his/her own, or hire someone for the same purpose. The main thing starts after the website has been completed because then, the job is to get the website live on the web. In other words, the website needs a host, who will have all the database.

Now, there are many types of web hosting available on the internet; some are paid, some are free, some are shared and some offer dedicated server. So, it will make anybody’s mind spin when he/she is given the task to choose the right type of hosting because every hosting has a good amount of advantages and a few disadvantages. So, how can a person determine as to which web hosting he/she should go for?

For start-ups, many people advice that free web hosting is perhaps the best option as they don’t have much database to host, plus they just want a start, so they can compromise on the fact that they will have to see advertisements on their website, which are neither good, nor they have any monetizing advantage for them.



The advantage of the best free web hosting is that most of the features come at free of cost, plus if the person wants to add a few features, then that can be easily done by paying a small price. It is a well-known fact that free web hosting, whether it is free WordPress hosting or freePHP hosting, will have certain limitations, such as a limited bandwidth, a limited storage and access to the basic features. But, what else does a start-up require? Once the website is live and people know who you are and  what you are selling, then you can change the host.

You can get paid hosting where you’ll get more features, more storage, more bandwidth and every more than the free hosting. At that time, you will also have money to pay for the hosting, so it won’t pinch you. Now, coming back to free web server again, you have to do a good research in order to find out the best free host, as there are hundreds of them available on the web these days. They will all claim to provide the best features and service, but don’t get lure into their claims. You have to check all of it on your own. You have to go through the customer reviews and feedback on different websites in order to be sure whether you should join hands with that particular hosting company or not.

One thing that you have to check is the uptime provided by the hosting company. I am sure that nobody can guarantee 100% uptime, but a company should promise that whenever the server will go down, they will get it back up in no time. An assurance of this kind will help inject confidence in the customers that everything is right about the company.
