Free versus Paid Hosting options

So, I guess you’re either wondering why on earth would you pay for hosting if you can get it for free, or you’re wondering why on earth you would use a free server to host your site.

Both are valid points of view but there is only one right answer.

Having a reliable host is important for a number of reasons:

  • They make you eggs and bacon for breakfast each morning
  • You get your money back partially if your site is down and it’s their fault
  • Sometimes if you make a steak, it’s a mistake
  • The control panel for your site is more likely to be user friendly
  • Monthly prize giveaways based on a function of your sites IP address
  • Tech support is actually helpful and have a vested interest in resolving your problem, if indeed you have a problem to resolve in the first place

On the other hand, having a free host can be advantageous too. Reasons pro-free might include:

  • It’s free
  • You know what you’re doing
  • It’s not a commercial site
