Let’s talk about hosting.
For free hosting the question of a domain name isn’t important because in most cases it’s quite a standard thing I should say. To say honestly free hosting can’t provide you with a domain name which is easy to remember. Of course, it is desirable that the address of the site is rather short and easy to remember but if you have found a very good free hosting, then there is nothing terrible. Don’t forget that you can use a redirect. By the way some companies provide this service. In addition, some hosters can support domains of 2nd and 3rd level that you can choose for free. You can also pay money for the registration of the domain but at the same time you’ll use free hosting. The main thing is that for most of users it will be invisible, because they won’t see any ads.
Of course we have reviewed the most obvious options, but there are still many pitfalls, which are unlikely to be told by hosters.
If we talk about free hosting, it is very important to take into account such things as speed and stability of service. I think that you won’t like such a situation if your site is loaded for 3 minutes or even more. But this may occur to my great regret and you’d better check it in advance. Find out whether the server is realizable or not. For this purpose you can visit various forums, which specialize on the topic of hosting. There you can have an excellent opportunity to communicate with a web designer and learn the opinion of those who have already used this hosting. If you are going to buy a paid hosting, then ask for a test account for 3 – 7 days to verify the service which you are looking for. It goes without saying your test period should be supported by the guarantee to return your money within 30 days if you find something which can’t suit you.
Reading the rules and tariffs, you should be carefully study everything that relates to costs. Make sure that there won’t be any hidden fees. For example, in addition to the regular monthly payment you may be charged 20 – 50$ for the installation of some scripts for example. By the way just notice that during the transition from one hosting to another one registration is usually free of charge. Also you can be charged for parking services and support for your domains of 2nd and 3rd level. To my great regret that’s not all. The matter is that you can be charged for additional e-mails, subdomains, opening databases. By the way additional money may also be charged for the transfer. But I hope you aren’t afraid of additional expenses especially if they are quite necessary.
Most of people are sure that the choice of the best web hosting starts from reading the reviews. Well, the idea is good, but you can have very big problems if you follow this idea.
The problem is that today website hosting companies need to fiercely fight for the clients. And these companies cracked the review trick long ago: they are buying reviews or flood the market with fake reviews, that look like written by real people. And they give a proud name of best web hosting even the BS quality service.
So, indeed you should read the reviews, but look through with this best web hosting propaganda – look into the core of it.
