Free Web Hosting – I don’t get it
You occasionally see offers for free web hosting, or people trying to find a decent free web host. I’ve never understood the point of free hosting. It boils down to this – why would you spend the time to find a free host, put up with whatever rigamarole they’re going to put you through for the free server, and then spend time building a site on that free host – if you’re going to do all this, why wouldn’t you take the step of just getting some cheap web hosting. Surely your time is worth more than the few bucks a month you save by using free hosting? To say nothing of the fact that such hosts are often insecure, unstable and unpredictable.
Seriously, if you’re thinking about this, think about why. If you’re unwilling to spend a few bucks a month to get actual hosting for your site, why are you spending time on it in the first place?
