Free Web Hosting!

Free Web Hosting!

Free hosting space may look a good idea at first glance. However, as there is no such thing as a free lunch, there is always a price to pay somewhere. Free web hosting companies have to get income from somewhere.

Often with a free web hosting company you will need to buy an expensive domain name, or will be faced with an expensive upgrade if you need more features.

With free web space hosting you'll be sharing your web space with a stream of pop up advertisements that you will have no control over. You and your family may not mind being shown a succession of great dating sites or the next best investment opportunity in between pages, on the other hand you may find it detracts from your web site experience.

The other trade off with free hosting is that quite understandably, you are not going to get any support and assistance and there will be no guarantees on reliability. You'll be on crowded servers, with poor and interrupted uptime.

And a free hosting company can disappear at anytime. You lose your files, domain and customers.

This may not be a major concern for your family or personal site, but if you are looking to use your web site to promote your business or as your main method of generating sales, then you will probably find that 24x7 customer support, training videos, manuals and the general hand-holding that HostBig provide is worth the small extra outlay, of just $1 a month.

For example, for that $1 a month, our Excite Plan provides an abundance of space and unlimited bandwidth. Other plans offer more options, depending on your bandwidth and webspace requirements.
