Choosing a free web host for your website is not always a “bad” concept. In fact, there are many reasons an individual or even a small business may decide to choose a free web host. The important thing to remember is that not all free web hosts are created equal.
When you choose your free web host, consider the following…
What sort of advertisements will the web host require? The majority of free web hosts will require forced advertising on your website. The methods of advertising usually consists of a banner, pop-up, or pop-under. On occasion, an additional frame will be added to the top or bottom of all your web pages.
No one method is better than another! Ask yourself what you feel comfortable with, and go from there.
How much space will you need, and how much will you get? Believe it or not, the majority of websites will never need more than 5mb of space. The amount you will need depends on what you add to your website in connection with Flash and/or images. Does the free web host offer the amount of space you need?
Is the free web host fast and reliable? If you do not have a free web host with minimal downtime, you will not keep visitors; if a visitor takes all of eternity to load your website, you will not keep visitors. Plain and simple.
