could someone here tell me the difference of free web hosting and paid web hosting? I really dunno things about this arena and I want to set up a personal domain. Should I start and try with free web hosting or should I go ahead for the paid ones?
Free hosting is hard to come by these days. The main difference between free hosting and paid hosting is that free hosting usually places ads all over your website to make an income and pay for your hosting services. Any free host that does not put ads on your site is taking a loss in profit in my opinion and probably wont stick around very long.
ej.am and ceege.net are good free hostings but you have to post on their forum first. check the plans at least. I use them both and I am happy for these hosting services.
I just signed up with www.byethost.com (not a misstype) its free, came top in a free web hosting php benchmark, has no ads and requires no posting in forums.
Only downside is the control panel isnt brilliant but its alot better than some ive used in the past.
I dont have any information on reliability but it was rated very well by other users of the service.
Free web hosting (naturally) would come with strings attached. Especially if you're looking into making a serious web site, do consider paid web hosting plans. Such top web hosting plans would be more flexible, and with reliable technical support at your fingertips literally. Having said that, some free best web hosts are pretty reliable too. But you ultimately only get what you "pay" for.
no idea as i am searching the same info and suddenly look at your post, check your post in the hope that might be i got answer here but replies are not as satisfactory, have you tried any of replied host what is your experience with it
