The Raging Battle: Paid vs. Free Hosting
|
Paid Hosting |
Free Hosting |
|
| Hosting Details | Paid hosting is a solution that requires for you to pay for leased server space and to publish content on the web. | Free hosting is an option that gives you “free” web server space, allowing you to publish content on the web at no cost. |
| Advantages | • Real database access • Advanced web building tools • Real domain name • Multiple emails • Powerful scripts • Management tools • Security • Consistent hosting uptime |
• Free hosting service |
| Disadvantages | • You have to pay for your hosting | • Limited access to the database • Less secure – prone to viruses and hacking • Visitors will have to deal with banner ads and pop ups out of your control • Less features • Little to no customer support • Strange, modified domain name |
| This type of hosting is right for you if… | …you want to create a respectable, web presence that visitors will want to visit | …if you want to create a strictly personal, unprofessional site with very limited functionality |
| Our Recommendation for Hosting | BlueHost | We do not recommend free hosting for any serious webmaster. |
