Tutorial
Free
or
Paid
Web
Hosting? |
Deciding
between
a
free
or
a
paid
hosting
account:
The
cheapest
approach is to make use of the Web space you
may
have
been
provided as a part of your ISP account.
ISP
is
the
company
you
use
to
log
on
to
the
Internet,
such
as
AOL,
Earthlink,
MSN
etc.
If all you want to do is learn the basics of setting up a site, or your
expected
web
audience is very small, then this
option
may
be
okay.
You
do
need
to
be
aware
that
this kind of free
web space comes with some heavy penalties. It'll
most
likely
be hosted on
over
loaded
slow servers, and
will
only support the most basic of
web pages.
Remembering
that
nothing
on
the
Net
is
truly
free,
your
"free"
hosting
space
will
pay
for
itself
by
the
web
host
placing
banner
ads
on
all
of
your
web
pages,
of
which
you
will
have
no
control
as
to
what
may
pop
up
while
your
mom
or
friends
are
viewing
your
website.
Imagine
your
family's
dismay
at
be
bombarded
by
sexual
dysfunction
ads
with
all
their
lurid
graphic
images
in
tow,
when
all
they
wanted
to
see
was
your
new
web
site.
On
a
free
web
site
there
are
usually
restrictions on what you do with the space (no commercial use, very strict limits on the amount of traffic it can attract). And you'll have a URL based on a sub-domain of your ISP
www.yoursite.cheap.rude.internet.com
which won't impress visitors with your professional approach.
My
advice
is
to
avoid
the
free
web
hosting
sites
entirely.
