Free Web Hosting or Paid Web Hosting

Summary about free hosting site by Ryu Ken

Free web site hosting services allow you to upload your web site content without any cost. This is great for people who are new to the Internet. There is one main advantage using this type of hosting: You do not have to pay for displaying a small amount of content online to a small number of people. Plus, most of these services offer you integrated, easy tools to use in uploading your web pages to your hosting account.

The disadvantage is that most free web sites’ URLs start with the web site hosting company’s name, then your web site’s name.

Paid web site hosting companies obviously require you to pay them a fee. These companies are best suited for professional web site owners who need a lot of space and who expect a high number of visitors. You will also be able to place ads and banners so that you can earn the money that they bring in. You will not have hosting company’s name as a part of your domain name.
