Everybody likes something that is free. However, when it comes to web hosting that might not be true.
If you are on internet searching for a hosting provider you have probably come across a provider offering free web hosting. These providers offering free web hosting, place their emphasis on price not features.
Almost all the free hosting providers will offer you limited amount of storage room and bandwidth. In fact, most of these companies will not even allow you to upload videos or music - or even pictures. There is also no guarantee of uptime on your site. Meaning your site can be down for extended periods of time.
If free web hosting companies don’t charge any money, how do they stay in business? Simple - Advertisements.
Agreeing to their terms you give them the right to place advertisements on your site. These advertisements are usually not related to the topic of your site, more importantly though, you have no control of who can advertise on your site.
While free hosting sounds like a good deal it has many annoying drawbacks. If you you are interested in blogging why not check out free blogging providers such as wordpress.org and blogger.com where you can control your advertisements and you also get a free domain name (at their domain). However, if you are interested in starting your own website there are many hosting providers for plans starting around $5/month that provide adequate space, bandwidth and features.
Remember, nothing is free in this world.
Considering the wake of destruction left behind by Mother Earth recently, now might be a good time to ask yourself, “Why not lend a helping hand?” I do admit it’s hard to do the right thing at times. It’s much easier to look the other way when we see tragedies in the media. It’s easier to drive past a stranded motorist in the rain than to stop and assist. I’m amazed at the ease with which we can pass up opportunities to help others because of the inconvenience. There are things one can do that require little time and effort which can greatly impact someone’s life. As the saying goes, the easy thing to do is not always the right thing to do.
