Free Website Hosting

Free website hosting as it is clear from the name itself that it is a free non-paid web hosting service. The web hosts provides subdomains to anyone who want to make website and there are many such web hosts like Blogger and WordPress. When we make our website with the help of these free website hosting services, your website gets such name like mysite.blogspot.com and mysite.wordpress.com.

If we want to get a website with a domain name that doesn’t include any external site’s name, you must buy domain and then get web hosting which is usually a paid service. There are many web hosting companies that provide free web hosting with some or the other products/services that you buy from them.

Main difference between Free and Paid Web Hosting

1)  Advertisements on our website are controlled by the web hosting company that provides us with the free web hosting.

2)  Customer support is completely missing for free website hosting.

3)  Its Low bandwidth and lesser data transfer capacity makes free website hosting weak to greater downtime.
