Free web hosting

Free Web Hosting- The Mystery Revealed.

Free web hosting is a nice way to get a basic web site up and running. Why should you pay if you can get it for free, you may ask. Firstly, Free Web Hosting is probably the most simple, basic website you can get. You will not have many marketing options, diskspace, and bandwidth or site studios. Additionally, Free Web hosting is generally paid for by having banner ads on your website. These banner ads, are a source of revenue for the free hosting site. They need to make money, right?

Unwanted ads, Flash Banners and Spam

If you don't mind having attachments in your emails, with advertising, then Free may be the way to go. If you don't mind receiving spam in your email and don't particularly care about virus protection or domain theft protection, then Free may be the way to go. Just don't be surprised when you realize that what you got for free was a static web page with virtually zero diskspace.

Is there any reliable Free web hosting?

There are a few reliable free website hosting companies with good customer service and no banner ads. One in particular is www.Doteasy.com This site simply charges for a domain name registration and doesn't contain banner ads. It is a perfect way for the beginner, to get a feel for owning and operating a website. Although, I must admit it's like driving a VW Bug as opposed to a Ferrari. SO, if you are on a budget and don't mind the slight inconveniences of less site tools and less space, then feel free to give them a shot.

Additional Fees at the end of the month

Just remember, when it comes time that you exceed your space limit or need more sub domains, then don't be surprised when the host of your site tells you about the fee associated with these upgrades. If you plan on building an upgradeable, scaleable website with dynamic content, that can generate a potentially large revenue for your company, then it may be worth it to spend $5 bucks a month and save yourself some hassles down the road.
