Title:
Free Web Hosting Vs. Paid Web Hosting
Article:
More and more people today are finding the joys and benefits of having their own web sites. As they are looking for a web hosting company to get them started, many of them are starting by turning to the ever-increasing number of free web hosting services available. There was a time when anything considered free was a good thing. These days, you have to ask yourself, Whats the catch? or look at the fine print. So free web hosting can be a good thing but it is important to understand what you are getting.
Free web hosting is just as it implies; no payment or fees are required for there basic service. All will require a registration process and then you can get up and running. Just how far up and how fast you can go is what usually separates the free from the paid hosting services. Typically, there will be a limitation or certain requirements that will necessary in order to use their web hosting services.
Among the many free web hosting services, some of the top ones are GeoCities, Xoom, Hypermart, and Fbhosting. Each one will have the basic things to get you started but there will be some variations. For example, Geocities will not allow you to have a primary domain but will instead give you a sub domain off of their domain so if your site is widgetexpress, under Geocities it would look something like http://www.geocities/widgetexpress/.
The most common limitations that free web hosting services have is to limit the amount of disk space and total data transfer available to each user. Where paid hosting services can offer disk space starting at 500MB and 50 GB data transfer free services often cap each user to 15MB disk space and 3GB total data transfer. Most people can do well with this and it even is more than enough for personal web sites.
The greatest area of inconvenience for many people are the advertisements that are placed on their site or the pop up from their site.
