<div align=justify>A lot of hosting companies now provide free hosting. Is free hosting good or not? Should you use it? What is better: free or paid hosting?

Our answer is: paid hosting. Below we'll list the disadvantages of free hosting for you to know more about it and do immediately sign up for it. Actually, "free" doesn't mean "the best".

* '''''No ownership'''''

The main disadvantage of using free web hosting service is that you don’t control your own site. There may be frequent changes to free hosting provider services and policies and then you might be forced to look for a new webhosting, transferring the content may not be allowed as well. Thus, do not take a risk with free web hosting services, you'd better go for paid web hosting services.

* '''''No Guarantee'''''

When using free hosting service, your website may face downtime and there is no guarantee that your hosting provider will try to get your website “up” soon because the service is free and you do not pay for maintenance. Thus you are not guaranteed that your site will be up all the time and you are left on your own without even being able to complain for their slow customer service.

* '''''Lack of benefits'''''

There are numerous benefits available with paid web hosting services, unlike free web hosting. For example, you may need to have sub-domains for your websites. But free web hosting services won't provide you with such service. Moreover, there are lots of limitations at free hosting providers, such as limited diskspace, limited bandwidth and so on.

* '''''Advertisement on your site'''''

Many free webhostings provide their services with a condition of reciprocal link (i.e. the link from your site to their site) or adding advertisements to your site. Would you like to have your site overwhelmed with lots of ads? We doubt it. To get reliable hosting with no ads adding, please go '''''[http://myidealhost.com here]'''''.

* '''''Dangerous neighbors'''''

Most adult sites and spam blogs are using free hosting service. This may have impact on your site, with you having nothing to do with it. Though free hosting shouldn't affect search engine ranking, but it would be much better to have better sites hosted on your server.
