Free Web Page Hosting - How Much Does It Really Cost and How Can You Tell If It’s Right For You?

Free web page hosting may be a great way to get started with your Web presence, especially if you are planning to develop a personal website.

Nearly all Internet Service Providers give you very limited free hosting when you sign up for an internet access plan. There are even some web hosting companies who’ll give you a fairly complete free web site hosting package.

Quid Pro QuoIf you are hosting a personal web site and are not concerned about a bunch of unrelated or possibly offensive ads on your web pages, a free web site may be a good way to go. However, if you plan to establish an online business presence you should simply forget about free web page hosting. You just can’t do that with a free web site. It’s actually pretty easy to find paid, yet affordable, web hosting that will enable your online business to compete effectively against the big guys. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of free web page hosting versus a more comprehensive paid web hosting plan.

Free Hosting - Pros In the case of free web page hosting, it’s pretty close to being free except for having to put up with those pesky ads. Free web sites that come with your ISP’s internet access plan are generally easy to set up and modify using free, though limited, web site design tools provided. This is also true of the free hosting packages offered by some mainstream web hosting companies. You get online for free. Free sites should cause no concerns if you are planning to build a web site that is essentially non-commercial in nature.

Free Hosting - ConsThe main drawback with free web page hosting is that it obviuosly looks to your visitors like a non-commercial (read “unprofessional”) web site. you simply must pay for your hosting.- by Anthony Hamill
