Web Hosting on the Internet for your business - free or paid?


It is time to choose! Must spend some money to get to host the solution for your business or get one for free?
Yes, the big moment arrived at the end of the day. Your business is now about to take the next step forward.
It will have a presence on the Internet. Is an important step from now on as your business is able to reach more customers, and able to get more exposure, and we hope to be recognized on the Internet.
Space, bandwidth, and domain name with all that comes from the cost, but there is a possibility to get it all for free.
Resource management principles will probably tell you to choose the solution for free.
Nowadays the cost for hosting services on the Internet has caused a very reasonable partly because of technological advances, and partly because of stiff competition to host sites in the market.
... Why do not you still paying the price for it when you can get it for free?
Free Hosting
Dozens, even hundreds of free web hosting providers offer their services on the Internet. There can be one that meets the needs of your business? It is difficult, if any.
Let me say clearly that this article is not intended to attack or question the hosts or advertisers. It's only purpose is to assess and understand how it could have been better meet the needs of hosting business. Any business. And yes, despite everything said here, and even the author of this article has resorted at some point in time for the hosts on the network services for free!
Perhaps you also learned, and at a very young age, that everything in life comes with a price. However, it is there ... All over the Internet: Free Web Hosting.
Nothing is free in this world. How come there are even free web hosting?
Definition of the term "free" according to a new lexicon, Webster's Dictionary gives the following definition of the term free:
1. Recipe. Are not subject to restrictions or foreign domination; not captive, at liberty, there is no pay for; without hindrance; open to all without restrictions; etc..
2. ADV. Without the expense, and without penalty
3. v.t. For the release of the constraint, set free
Therefore, literally free hosting service means any restriction, no expenses, and there are restrictions for the user.
Webmasters would design with only limited by their imagination and skills. All the space and bandwidth you may ask at any cost at all. Real-life scenario? Can anyone really think so?
In fact, nothing in this world comes without a price. So it is not clear. The price must be paid to free web hosting comes in many forms, and providers of free web hosting services must also pay for the bandwidth, not to mention other costs.
While some free web hosts require you to be one of the banners on your web site, others place pop-up adds, or flashing advertising messages. So it's free for you as long as you meet their obligations set of requirements and meet their conditions. In addition to this, we must consider that the host service is free with let's say 25 Megs of space; more space means different conditions, and you could have to pay for it.
Paid Hosting
If you invoice, then you have nothing. There is now a contractual bind between you and the web hosting provider, which in turn must offer you his services. Ownership gives you more control over your presence on the Internet. As important as the property, it is not the only nor the biggest advantage to pay your hosting solution.
The identity of your business would be clear from the title of your down to your web content without banners confusing your customers. Imagine you're dealing with what I say, is to ask yourself if you would deal with any person who provides a similar service / product as you are promoting and that it was clear that the use of the site is free. If you would, then fine, but if not, do not expect anyone else to deal with you!
Will usually have enough e-mail addresses to meet the needs of your business. How serious will take you to a person by a business card with e-mail like john. doe @ afreewebhostingprovider.com. Most importantly: Do you deal with him?
It's almost a standard for payment on the Internet for hosting service providers offer features such as PHP and My S Q L, and features that allow your site to grow along with your business needs. With such features, you can easily shop on the Internet, offer your clients the ability to track their orders etc..
In many cases, web hosting provider offers guarantees for the uptime of the server and avoid this frustration and unnecessary for your customers. To complete this, and support services of the highest quality to allow your business to overcome possible technical problems easier and faster.
Let's take a look at the main points of each option.
Com Web Hosting:
(+) It's free. No money for space, bandwidth, and domain name
(-), Web site address will contain a marker for the network of lines hosting provider and therefore do not reflect the identity of your business. Sponsors of the change may lead to the loss of some or all of the movement for your business online
(-) Required advertising items such as banners, frames and other adverse impact on your content as easily accessible and searchable, which makes it very unprofessional
(-) If you plan to use banner exchange on your site read carefully the terms and conditions. Some free hosts do not allow it
(-) Is it likely to be less bandwidth then paid host provides space and can also be restricted
(-) Features such as PHP and My SQL is a rare-line network hosting provider. Some do not provide FTP access to your web site
(-) It is common that free hosting providers change the terms and conditions at some point in time. Is that it can not mean a banner add today or tomorrow-ups. These changes can mean that the free hosting service is canceled and only pay for web hosting services offered. At this moment either you pay, whether you loose your web site
Paid hosting sites:
(-) Will have to pay for it. Usually, you have to pay for hosting (space and bandwidth) and the domain name
(+) You can host your domain. With the domain name of your unique change hosting providers do not cause the loss of your traffic
(+) And support is provided by most paid hosting providers. This usually means 24 / 7 support via e-mail or live chat and, in some cases, free telephone support is available
(+) And uptime of the server (s) to host your web site is better then the free hosting and more and more on web hosting provider offers uptime guarantee
(+) And the amount of enough disk space and bandwidth available is very likely to meet the needs of your business
(+) Features such as PHP and My SQL are almost standard for the payment of hosting plan. As you will have FTP access to your web site.
Might be tempting to embrace the idea that free web hosting is a good point to start from, but it's not something you want to consider if you are looking to establish your business in a danger on the Internet.
At the end of it all depends on this question one: How big ambitions you have with your web site?
If you look to achieve some savings while getting your business online, and to save time instead of the domain name registration. And a small amount of money saved on your web hosting may cost business customers, the loss of the image. Cost of the network paid hosting solution is small compared with the freedom granted by your presence on the Internet. Yes, freedom of the image, the way they treat your presence on the Internet.
If your business online is important to you, and improve the delivery of care that, if you're at all, and when they come to the decision to choose the most from the Internet free or paid hosing selection
Keep in mind that the success of your presence on the Internet will play an important role in the future growth of your business.
