Is there a catch on the free web hosts?

Always going to be a catch when it comes to free. Sometimes they%26#039;ll place advertisement on your webpage that might get in the way of something you put there. They could also provide limited bandwidth so reaching a large audience might be a challenge. Once you use up your bandwidth they%26#039;ll turn your site off temporarily. Also when they give you something free expect to have problems. I had a free web host a few years ago as I was looking for a cheap place to start creating my portfolio since I just finished college with a degree in Web Design and I never saw so much problems. Either people couldn%26#039;t reach my site or there were database issues preventing anything from working and took forever to get fixed. I finally quit trying because I got tired of it. Free isn%26#039;t worth it when it comes to looking for a web host.

My company will host any site FREE for 1 year. There are no hidden fees, costs, gimmicks, ads, or whatever. We provide the best service in the industry, period. After 1 year, it%26#039;s $9.95/month which includes unlimited bandwidth and diskspace and 5 e-mail accounts. Hosting@tracetechnologies.us Report It

Other Replys:I%26#039;d say Freewebs. I don%26#039;t know how much storage they have by now, as I haven%26#039;t used it in a long time. : \

Excellent starter website host!!!!!!! :)

You can update later on, if you find you like the service, and the really simple but practical upgrade is only $10 per year, it bumps up bandwidth and storage, and removes the little banner! :)

Other Replys:The biggest catch to Free Web Hosts are that they place very large very obnoxious banner advertisements on your site. Also, most do not allow 3rd party page linking.
