Are Free Webhosting Accounts Really Free - 02-16-2006, 07:56 AM

[SIZE=3]Are Free Webhosting Accounts Really Free[/SIZE]

Many free web hosting accounts are free to use, however they will cost you a lot of money, time, and customers as well if you have a site that is meant for business purposes and is more than the simplest site imaginable. Consider the following items as to why free web hosting might cost you more than you had bargained for when you signed up.

Consideration #1 Bandwidth
Frequently, free web hosting providers offer you little bandwidth which means it will take longer for your page to load. When your page takes more than 10 seconds to load you will lose visitors because they will simply move on. Because of this, you might lose a lot of customers and sales from your free web host.

75% of my sites are hosted on free hosts.
Always see whether the Free Host you opt is reliable or not.
God Luck

Most of the time they're free. But if you buy free hosting then that means your going to have terrible bandwith and terrible space.
I go with paid hosting. Its just soo much easier that way.

You are right, the free plan at 50webs.com does not have PHP support and has no database options.

The best free hosting tends to be those that are forum based community ones, usually they come with cpanel.
