Let’s face it, we all love money. We all want as much money in our pockets as possible, and want to spend as little as possible on anything! We’re all looking for the deal, and that extra percent off. We all love “Free” stuff. It’s hard not to find interest in a “free” service.
When it comes to web hosting, it’s a great way to significantly reduce start up costs. From a buyers point of view; why pay for something when you can have it free from somewhere else? Sounds good but take heed – the negatives outweigh the positives by far. How can something like this be free, is what one should really be asking themselves. Of course, the host must’ve cut corners, but just how much? How bad could it really be?
Well, pretty damn bad if you ask me. From a logical perspective – this “Free” host must be making some money from somewhere. It just begs the question – from where? Will they fill your website with advertisements? Will they sell your contact information to spammers? Will they take your website and run? Will they steal from the poor, kill the merciful, and rape the innocent? (Ok… maybe not the last few ) The point is, whatever they’re doing, it’s going to be shady – and something you don’t like. More often than not, you’re wasting your time. Eventually, the host will run out of “advertisers” or spammers, and they’ll have to close down – and file for bankruptcy.
