Shopping for the best web host is a task every Internet marketer, blogger or business owner will face eventually. Even if you own an offline business, you will probably want to create a business website at some point and you are going to need a suitable hosting plan for your new site.
The first step in choosing the best provider is choosing between free web hosting sites or paid sites. Free web hosting sites are attractive, obviously because free is free, but it’s important to understand the major disadvantages of free web hosting so you can make an informed decision. I don’t recommend free hosting at all, simply because there are too many disadvantages. Here’s why…..
Credibility
When you host your site for free, your domain name will include a combination of the name of the free web hosting site you chose and the name of your site or business. This results in a long, weird looking URL that doesn’t look very professional or credible to prospective customers, not to mention it’s also hard for people to remember. This could make your business appear less trustworthy and amateurish.
