About Free Web Hosting
Is anything really free? That’s a wise moniker that goes a long way… especially online. For any free hosting service provider you come across, there are always disadvantages of free webhosting. To begin with, you cannot have your own domain name in many instances. Instead of your own domain name (EG: www.MyDomainName.com), you’ll likely receive a folder and limited space at the host’s domain name. Your domain name will usually appear after the “/” of the hosts full domain name (EG: www.FreeHostingCo.com/MyDomainName). While this may be acceptable for a family photo album, it’s not good for business in the long term because you are not able to establish your own Web presence.
