An Introduction To Free Web Hosting Services
from: Deb St. George - BlognetHosting.comWant to start a website but you are not sure how to go about it? Don’t worry because a free web hosting service is probably the best solution for you to start with.
What is free web hosting?
A free web hosting service is a service for which you don’t have to pay any fee as it is usually supported by advertisements. Free web hosts generally provide users with a sub-domain name such as (www.yoursite.company.com) or directory (www.company.com/your) site. While a paid web hosting company will provide you with a unique domain name along with hosting like (www.yourcompany.com). However, there are some free hosts who may allow use of domain names that have been purchased separately from a paid web hosting company. But if you are looking to build a simple website then a free web hosting company is the best way out. These companies offer you all the basic ingredients to build your website including user friendly site-builder tools.
How do they provide free service?
You must be wondering how these companies provide everything free for your website. You don’t pay a single penny to host your website and instead it is paid by people who advertise with internet giants like Google. These advertisers fill your websites with ads and that is how free web-hosting companies generate revenue. However, these free services don’t come with any free customer service and you end up shelling out a substantial amount of money in telephone charges when you have to call them up to sort out your problems.
How to get such a free hosting service?
Getting one such free web hosting company is never a tough task as there are many websites that will help you to review and compare the best free hosting provider. These will help you simplify your search.
Some free web hosting service providers are:
ProHosting: It provides you with a slightly better service as the storage capacity is 100 MB and the monthly transfer rate is of 1.2 GB. The service can also support FTP and has some site builder utility tools but that is limited to just one page for free. By paying an annual charge the banner ads can be removed.
NetFirms: It provides you with the basic free hosting plan that comes with a storage capacity of 25 MB of storage and a transfer rate of 1GB per month. If you want to have an email service then you have to purchase a domain name and web pages will have banner ads.
50Megs.com: Besides a free trial service with storage capacity of 50 MB and transfer rate of 1GB per month this site also offers a wide range of paid services. The web pages come with banner advertisements and pop-ups and also provide you with marketing emails.
DreamStation Review: This is a favorite site with most people and its spoils you with choice. There’s just more than you really need. It gives you tons of disk space and a transfer rate of more than what you may actually need. Managing files is also simple as one can use basic tools like FrontPage and Dreamweaver to upload them.
