Comparative analysis of free web hosting servers

May 27th, 2008 by Samuel Becks

As we know, there are hosting fee (from $ 85 per year), a come free. True, absolutely nothing free in this life do not exist, except in cheese in trap for mouse, and free hosting company - clear proof. The services they provide are not free, but rather on barter: first you place on a host your website and then host your site available on their (or others’) advertising. Advertising, incidentally, may be different, and so it will have to go.

Here and think afterwards: normal pay for hosting (without others’ advertisements, “but” and “if” but only “and” i “or”) .

Immediately, even before deepening into details, should notice the following things:

a) free hosting absolutely not suitable for a solid and serious projects - sites of large firms, prominent social organizations, government agencies - only a dns (ie domain address), even without the other “beauty” free host can seriously damage the image of your company and you personally - as a web designer;

b) free hosting is ideal for large-scale non-profit web projects: to find somewhere sponsor, who will pay for 100 megabytes and more highly paid host problematic, while the same space on the second-hosting and you really will cost nothing.

In addition to paid and free hosting service, there is a third option - conditionally free hosting: many providers, making Internet access (dial-up or leased line) offer its clients e-mail and absolutely free hosting (even without advertising). Tempting offer, but get to this fishing rod should not be - too great likelihood that more or less distant future you want to change provider. And - forgive-proschaj favorite site, or at least, dns, in which you plug was invested so much effort … By the way, and it was good DNS - based on domain known local provider.

So, you’ve decided - you need it FREE hosting (although the fee is usually better). What are the same requirements must be offered for free hosting, and how to determine what you need? Basic requirements are:

A. The speed server

B. The restrictions imposed on the type and size of files posted

B. Place to be allowed under your site

The availability of SSI G.

D. Ability to launch CGI and PHP scripts

E. Not too much of advertising

Free Web Hosting: Good or Bad?

At the paid hosting you usually pay for the predetermined set of hosting services. No matter whether you use it or not entirely. Unlikely that the hosting provider will reduce the price of your hosting fare below a certain level if your site unfrequented “spends” a little traffic or other resources. Free hosting sites implies that your fee banner impressions clearly meets the load, and traffic on your web site. Few consuming - little crying. Consuming a lot of - a lot of banners showing.

Try to locate a site on the standard tariff, with traffic hosting 40-50 GB per month for the paid hosting. Rather, the hosting provider starts talk about moving to a dedicated server. In partnership with the hosting provider when it receives revenue from advertising on your website, the problems likely will not. If the host does not want to keep your site for free hosting - this is a sign that the cost and income part of your website, and you are not balanced, for example, unlikely to recoup their site by placing it on the paid hosting, and selling advertising on it. Believe hosting organisation believes these things very well and it is trusted his opinion on this matter. If the placement of the web site does not require you to describe the site - then, the first time you will be looking.  Judging by you for your. Incidentally registration - is part of the business model. Hosts at this point are divided into two categories - with a free registration, and by appointment. In the first case, an easy process to obtain hosting and established system of blocking sites that break the rules. The second - you can never get free hosting for your site. The use of the first method is also often speaks of the additional reserve strength of the resources and equipment from the hosting provider.

And about free hosting sites with banners. Look at the numbers. Now the cost of advertising shown on free hosting sites is about 20 cents for 1000 banner impressions. Consider the cost of 1 GB of traffic for the hosting provider for $ 1. Running a banner accounts for about 200 KB traffic. Placing files under the leap to free hosting, which uses a model with a banner advertising - surest way to make your web site unprofitable for the hosting provider. The response from the host followed immediately. You can also consider hosting such a resource for downloading processor server. One traffic here is no tricks. The idea of following - working scripts, as a result of not issuing pages with a banner, produced as if unpaid. Therefore, the free hosting dislike tops, counters, etc.

Another aspect - promotion of domain name of your site. It is clear that the third-level domain, which provides hosting provider in registration on a free (and at the paid) hosting - his property. Spin this domain is only with confidence in the future and site hosting. The model of such a scenario: the site has not promoted, it consumes little resources and, consequently, if and goes beyond the concept free hosting sites, it often looks to host a “blind eye”. As promotion sharply rising attendance and resource site begins to attract attention to the admin hosting provider. Any withdrawal abroad outlined free hosting service provider, will be punished. Reasonable two exits. First, the constant checking the web site to conform to the requirements and restrictions of free hosting sites.
