Free Hosting vs Paid Hosting

 

You will launch a new website? Cannot decide between free hosting or paid hosting?

If you manage an online store, for example, it will require that your site is always accessible by net surfers and always visible. In this case avoid free hosting if you value your presence online.

You shouldn’t opt for a free hosting service, for these reasons:

 

- Limited traffic

This problem arises when site traffic is beginning to take off and exceeds the authorized bandwidth, the site will be blocked and will not be accessible, so it limits his presence on the net and risk losing customers who will never return. This is related in the fact that companies providing free hosting have not implemented the necessary measures to deal with large amounts of traffic. For its part the host may ask you to pay a fee because your traffic exceeds the minimum acquired.

 

- Absence of technical support

Technical support is the main shortcoming of free hosting. When the website is down or it encounters a problem, you will be limited to a forum to ask questions, no possibility to reach someone by phone or email. Unlike the options offered by the paid hosting which offers a customer service 24hours/24 and 7days/7


- Lack of control

With free hosting you are not able to make changes to your site, or to have a control panel to administrate it. Sometimes your website requires programs that might be useful to your company but you are not allowed to add. As part of a paid hosting service you get a suite of software to manage, to host and to build your website also to have full control over your control administration.


- Below the free hosting

It is impossible to build a presence on the web free hosting mode since your site will include banner ads on your pages. Also you haven’t control over these ads, the worst that: they could be those of a competitor on the market, something that affects your image.

 

And ending with the limits of free hosting, we must remember the major risk: free hosting that cost you the loss of your website and domain name if the host has a bankruptcy or any another reason that let him to disappear.

 

The paid hosting is the most reliable solution to manage and ensure a presence on the net with a cheap investment, benefit from quality service with a network availability of 99,9%.
