As mentioned above, in many cases, free web hosts place their ads in the form of banners or pop-ups. Visitors to your website will not be happy with it as it is well known that the ads are irritating, especially those of the pop-up. Therefore, if your goal is to attract people who are willing to visit your site regularly, return again and again in a day, a week, a month, not just close your resource 5 seconds after your first page, then choose accommodation without advertising.
Moreover, with free web hosts that you can expect field such your_site.host.com. This area will hardly affect the reputation of your web positively site; it will be sooner harm its image, especially if it is the site of a company.
"Why are not loading pictures up?" -SUPPORT SERVICE will provide answers to these questions. It is absolutely necessary to have a good service because support really speeds up the troubleshooting process. 90% of suppliers shared web hosting have the support of adequate service and only 10% free web hosting providers have.
Not every free hosting can boast such services as their own CGI-BIN directory, or Perl support, PHP, MYSQL, Cron, SSH, Telnet and many others. And although at the moment your web resource needs none of these, such necessity may appear in the nearest future with the growth of your website. With time, you will also need more disk space. free hosts usually give you 1-100 Mb while shared hosts provide 1-5000 Mb for your website.
So the bottom line is this.
If you have just a home page or a small site on your interests, go for a free web hosting, no doubt. But before choosing a particular accommodation you should:
determine the amount of disk space you'll need, taking into account the growth of your resource;
decide whether you need the support of scripts, it is necessary to have a file manager or you'll do just fine using ftp access, if you need a generator website
reflect on the domain. It should be short and easy to remember.
define your attitude to accommodate ads: If you're against it or not
When you are done with all these things, remove all hosts that do not meet your needs. I advise you to check the site loading speed located at hosting providers that meet your needs. And then you just choose the host with the least crowded channel.
I personally recommend freehostia.com. They provide:
250 MB disk space
6 GB bandwidth
5 Domains Hosted
+ 1 MySQL database
+ 1 click install App
FTP access. Support PHP, Perl, Python, SSI and more. There is also a catalog of scripts ready for a possibility to adapt the design to your website - the optimal choice for a beginner webmaster.
shared hosting
Some may say that shared hosting is expensive, but it's just a myth. Their prices range from 1 to 50 dollars a month depending on all the services and resources provided. Naturally shared hosting does not have the drawbacks of the free one.
However, shared web hosting providers differ depending on the range and quality of services. Here are some criteria to guide you in your choice of shared web host:
A host should not impose severe restrictions on traffic. At least there should be an option to pay if you exceed the limit, but the salary should not be too high.
If you need ASP, FrontPage Server, MSSQL, then you should be looking for a web hosting on NT-server and host itself should provide these services. Otherwise, you'd better choose UNIX hosting.
It is desirable that a host should provide Perl, SSI, PHP, MYSQL ...
Apart from a host disk space must provide the mail. Make sure it covers the mail services in and out. Sometimes it happens that a host provides you with email addresses and not with email boxes. In this case, your mail will be redirected to the email box you provided, which will hamper your work.
A hosting provider must have a support service - 24/7 work by email and by phone (fax). Ask them a few questions - a good hosting provider will respond within 24 hours. If they keep ignoring you, or if there is no support service to all, stay away from these hosts.
Find out what rights you exercise in the management of the server. At a minimum, you should have FTP access to your catalog - it will allow you to perform the actions required when transferring, modifying or deleting files. It would be desirable that a host had web interface to work with your server and your account.
If you are an experienced user, it is desirable that a host provided telnet access - you'll be able to work with the provider's computer almost on the same level as your own person.
archiving everyday (make reserve copies) of your site is a huge advantage.
Good hosting is fast web hosting. The less crowded servers and supplier channels are - the better. minimum bandwidth must not be less than Pentium III 800 Mhz with 512 Ð ?? b RAM
It is good for a web hosting provider to have their physical address and other data
Before you finally submit payment, become familiar with the Internet critical of other users on that host
