Find out why and how hosting services can give away space
on thier servers.
Sooner or later, as everyone finds out, nothing in this
world is free. Although there are literally hundreds of
Free Hosting adds surfacing on the Internet, no one can
stay in business very long giving it away. So how can
hosting services offer free hosting?
Easy.
One way is to make some of their money from registering
your domain name. Domain registration is a necessary step
for any future web site owner, (some low cost host play
a numbers game between your monthly cost and your yearly
domain registration fee, for example:
$5/month and $30 registration fee, or $7/month and only
$6 to register, or...... you get the picture).
Another way they make money is to add advertising onto
your web page. They will get paid either each time the
banner is shown, or each time someone clicks on the advertisement.
Some will offer extra add ons like Spam or Virus Protection,
Domain Theft Protection, or other services at an additional
cost. Of course if you feel you have need for these services,
then you should purchase them.
There are also limitations such as storage space, bandwidth,
number of email accounts, and
so on, in hopes that you will need more later and decide
to upgrade.
So are the so called Free Hosting Services even worth
the time to consider? Sure they are! There are situations
where someone may not need tons of storage, bandwidth,
email, and so on. Just find a
host that offers what you need without to many compromises.
One such host that I use quite often is doteasy.com. No
banners, only a yearly domain registration. And for me,
they've always
responded to my questions within 24 hours by email.
So if your new at web page development, just want your
own personal web page, ect., and don't really have that
intensive of system requirements, then Free Hosting is
the way to go.
o if your new at web page development, just want your
own personal web page, or have any one of a dozen other
reasons, and don't really have that intensive of system
requirements, then Free Hosting is the way to go.
