Should I choose free hosting?
We all know that free cheese only inmousetrap, so when the future owner of the site hosting company offers to use free hosting, he has an ambivalent feeling - on the one hand, the joy of being able to get what's needed is free, on the other hand, alertness. So is it worth using free hosting?
It is clear that a truly free hosting is notwill be. A company that provides hosting without a fee, must earn something and, most likely, it will be placement of advertising, additional paid services or the combination of the first and second. Thus, it is impossible to name free hosting such in the literal sense of the word, the more exact expression will be "conditionally free hosting".
That is, if you choose to place yoursite hosting, then you have to tolerate the presence of third-party advertising. And not the fact that it will not be enough, so if you choose free hosting, then only one where there will be one or two small neat banners that will not capture the entire page of the site.
It is also important to remember that the possibilities of the freehosting is less than paid, that is if the site is made only on HTML, then everything will work fine. But if you need support for php, it may not be there, and there may not be a possibility to create databases, which is necessary, for example, for online shops (and not only).
Another disadvantage of free hosting is stronglimited space for the placement of site files. Of course, you can use file uploaders at the initial stages, but as practice shows, if the site is created for a long life and successful promotion, then such methods are not very convenient. Thus, for commercial sites it is clearly better to choose hosters offering flexible tariff plans, the options of which can be added to your own. But if the site remains a home page (a page about yourself, your profession, your hobby, etc.), then a reasonable choice will be free hosting.
