How Free Hosting Service Provider Creates Problem

If you want to take your business online, you need to have a web site. You also require a good web hosting company to host your web site on the internet. Many beginners will make a mistake of hosting their web site using free web hosting company which literally leads to a lot more problems.

1. Forced Advertisement

Since they need money to maintain their hosting service they put ads on your web sites and try to make money out of your site. Suppose if these ads are from Google or yahoo Ad Sense and then it is understood that these ads are related to your content which will have some value. In some cases it may not be related to your content which will make your visitors unhappy. This happens at the agreement level itself, you are forced to sign an agreement saying that they can place ads on your site.

2. URL Redirection

Another issue is with the URL and SEO (Search Engine Optimization). They don’t allow you to host your own domain or else you need to use a sub domain.
Redirect URL allows you to redirect users from domains to the hosted sub domains and we know that redirecting the users creates another problem. Your site will literally not have any data if you are always forwarding your requests to other sites.

3. Limited Control

These free service providers don’t distribute full control to you. So you literally cannot apply for some advance operations like data base and so on. On the other hand, the bandwidth you use also have limitations. Your site access will be blocked when you go out beyond the limit. The visitors will get a message saying the user has exceeded the transfer limit. And so no one will be able to access your site until the end of that month.

4. Account Cancellation

And there would also be account cancellation by the free service provider and your efforts will be wasted, further there would be no online business to your site. If you’re really interested in online business then don’t opt for free hosting service provider.
There are a lot of web hosting services which are cheap and reliable.
