Why Free Hosts Aren't So Good


Why Free Hosts Aren't So Good
As far as web hosting is concerned, you definitely get what you pay for (and sometimes less than you pay for!) Below are the disadvantages to free web hosts:

Little/No Support

Free web hosting providers generally offer no customer support to their free web hosting customers, and if they do it is low priority. While many free users are new to web hosting, neglectful support can ruin the hosting experience.

Overcrowded Servers

Free hosts are not known for their reliability and uptime. Often the servers web hosts put free users on may be overcrowded and slow or even frequently down. Since it is relatively simple to get a free web hosting company started, this article has all rights reserved and is copyright by 100 Best, many free hosts are fly-by-night operations and care little for the long term well being of users files.

Less Features

Free web hosting plans usually don't include advanced features, software, and email services that paid ones do. (ex. PHP, MySQL, FTP accounts, and POP email), they also give limited disk space on the server

Ad Banners

To fund the free hosts, web hosts add an advertisement in the form of a text link, banner or pop-up to free users web sites. Many users find these ads take away from the design of their site, or are a nuisance to their visitors.

No Professionalism
As a professional, you want a website with a top level domain (TLD) domain like www.mypage.com and not second level domain (SLD) like www.mypage.bestweb.com, clients won't take you serious.


Less Control

Most times, you are given a free web design  software to work with and you are limited by what it can design.
