By Chris Hunt 123 Cheap Web Hosting Plans | Affordable Packages
Laptop Battery In my opinion, free web hosting is one of the most misunderstood
concepts on the web
today. Free web hosting plans are becoming increasingly popular as
new webmasters
bite into the idea without actually analyzing the consequences. I
myself spent many
years, at the start of my webmaster career, using free web hosting
plans. This
experience has giving me an insight into the down-side of free web
hosting plans
that many people seem to miss.
> Choosing a Web Hosting Plan Choosing a Web Hosting Plan Overview There are approximately 100 million Web sites on the Internet. They are "hosted" on computers (called web servers) all over the world. The web server (computer) where your Web site's information, photos, etc. reside, may be located in a home or office, but ideally, in a secure data center, and maintained by a "web host" (like WestHost). Web hosting clients simply upload their Web sites to either a shared web server (where many other clients are also hosting), or a dedicated web server (where the entire server is their own), which the web host maintains to ensure the Web site is always available, and can be accessed quickly (a fast download).

Although the rhetorical question above seems ludicrous, this
concept is one of the
fundamental problems with free web hosting plans. Forced
advertising is the way that
hosting companies can afford to provide "free" hosting. Whether it
be through
pop-ups, pop-unders, headline ads, or implanted adsense you will be
hosting
advertisements on your website that generate revenue for your
hosting company whether
you like it or not. Not only is this annoying it can also ruin the
look of your page;
the majority of the time you cannot control what the ads look like
or where they go,
they are simply dropped down onto your site and there is nothing
you can do.

- These website hosting services are perfect for growing websites or a hosting reseller and the plans come with access to the most powerful control panel available.

Microsoft Traffic Jams
The bottom line in web hosting is that bandwidth (data transfer)
costs money and if
your plan is free it is most likely your bandwidth will be limited.
Too many times I
have attempted to access a web site hosted on a free server and
been given the message:
"This user has acceded their bandwidth limits, please try again
next month". As a
webmaster this can be infuriating. Imagine building a solid page,
marketing it,
gaining an audience, and then losing that audience because your
page is not allowed
anymore hits for the month.
Laptop Computers SEO woes
This is a problem that caused me a ton of frustration, but in the
end taught mea lot
about how search engines work and how search engines handle name
resolution. In almost
every case free web hosting plans do not allow you to point a
domain name
(www.yoursite.com) to an actual page. Instead you are forced to use
a concept called
URL redirection. URL redirection allows a webmaster to identify a
site that the URL
should point to. So if a user types in www.example.com and we have
configured it to
redirect to www.freehost/users/mysite.html it will end up on that
page. This does not
seem like much of an issue until you begin trying to get your
website indexed in the
search engines. So you submit your site (www.example.com) to some
directories and you
ake some good link partners and then you start to wonder, why am I
not being listed in
the SE's? I have 100 solid back links pointing to www.example.com,
what is happening.
The problem is that www.example.com has no data, it has no content,
it simply redirects
to your actual page at www.freehost/users/mysite.html. SE's not
only will not index a
page with no data or content but they may even view this as an
attempt to fool their
algorithm, thus banning your domain name. The only work around is
to forget the domain
name and optimize for your free hosting address, which is not
really an acceptable work
around.
To about web hosting, //en.wikipedia. Web_hosting Shared Hosting This is a common process of hosting your website. In this process, you get space for your website in hosting company’s server. a number of web pages of several organizations are stored in the same web server. based contents, designs, and applications visible as well as accessible from other computers, which are connected to the Internet. End users can easily download the websites via their web browsers.
Laptop Computer But wait!
Although I am a strong believer that free web hosting is not the
way to go it is
possible to find a free web host that works for you. There are some
out there that do
not force advertising, do not limit your bandwidth, and will allow
pointed domains.
The problem is finding one that does all three. If you are a
serious, or even only
slightly serious, webmaster take the hit and pay the money for web
hosting. In the end
you can get an awesome web hosting plan for as low as $5.95 a
month, and trust me this
will be WELL worth the money.
