There are numerous free Web Hosting providers but Free Web Hosting always comes with certain limitations. You may get limited amount of disc space or bandwidth for your websites. There is not enough room for a large website site with many colorful graphics, some video and multiple pages.

You may wonder how free providers can afford to offer free website hosting. Almost always, they make money by putting advertisements on the free pages. Therefore, you can certainly expect your pages to show ads on them that you did not place there.

The worst is when a free host uses popups, which is very aggravating for visitors. Free web hosting sites term and conditions often require that you allow their online banners and advertisements to be placed on your website. As they will say, it is what pays the bills. You must use their website designs and system and cannot upload other popular website products like WordPress into the free site.

The bottom line, paid website hosting is the better option for anyone seeking web hosting for a business. Paid website hosting definitely comes out as the winner. It simply has more to offer, and can be obtained for very affordable rates these days.

Free hosting is almost never free

Free hosting is almost never free – at least in the form in which it exists on the internet today. I have yet to find a free host that is a real charity. All hosts have to pay for the servers, bandwidth and staff. If they don’t have a good plan to cover the costs, the future for them is grim and services will soon degrade due to under funding. The best option if you don’t want to spend money for hosting is to barter for it with a respected, serious, honest web host.

many hosting companies provide free hosting and then puts ads on your site, so nothing is free. I would recommend you to go for shared hosting. It is cheap and effective

you can get hosting with FTP access and plenty of bandwidth and storage. You can control it directly from your file manager too, just like moving files between folders on your computer. It also provides a place to keep your images which can then be linked to when in various forums.

Never go for free hosting, free service can expire at any time, and you cannot do anything.
Using free hosting could be good for new starters who want to build their own website for fun or learning. But you cannot expect to have the best services here. Disk space will be limited by providers. If designing website needs to have a large size to store database, it is an irreparable disadvantage.Bandwidth will be limited
