Free website hosting providers and paid hosting providers offer the same basic service: they allow people to make
website content
accessible via the World Wide Web. You can't have a working website without a web site hosting provider.
The question of which type of
web hosting provider
is better is a controversial topic. Most free web site hosting companies will tell you that there is no need to pay someone to display your website content. A paid
web hosting provider,
on the other hand, will insist that
free website hosting
companies are a second class option best reserved for people who have no desire to get traffic or make a profit with their website content.
The funny thing is that they are both right.
Free Website Hosting
A paid web site hosting provider is a must for ecommerce sites who want to have a
high search engine ranking
and make a profit from their website content. Unlike a free web site hosting plan, a paid plan will allow you to use a unique domain name to display website content and will provide a sufficient amount of file space to grow your business.
If you are a serious
webmaster
who wants to be able to hold your web site hosting provider accountable for the dependability and usability of your website content, you will need to bypass free web site hosting and choose a paid provider.
