Web hosting is something that every website owner has to deal with and the problem that most people have is whether they should use free hosting or paid hosting. For me paid hosting is the way to go and the reason is because I have control over it, not somebody else. What you need to understand is free hosting is in the hands of the person that bought it in the first place, you don’t want this if you are trying to make money online or promote a business.
The only reason why you would want to use free hosting is if you are just providing a little bit of information online or hosting pictures. The thing you need to understand is free hosting has it’s place, just not if you are trying to make a living or promote a business. Think about it, you always get what you pay for and often times free hosting will shut down and you will have to start all over again. My advice is if you don’t want to pay for hosting then don’t but never stay on a free host for a long time because the chances of them going down will greatly increase.
