Free Web Hosting - Not As Good As It Seems!

Many of you who are beginners in the web design industry will want to start off with a basic, free web hosting service that provides a good amount of features, bandwidth and web space. I know, I've been with a lot of free web hosts.

So what makes the free web hosts so good looking? Well, of course, there's the point that it is completely free, with no hidden costs or catches, unlike those "Post2Host" sites, which I personally really don't like becuase you're spending all of your time, in fact, more of your time posting on forums than creating your actual website!

Every month or so, I look on this website, () for new web hosting services to see if there are any upgrades I can upgrade tofrom my current hosting.

There are many things I check before choosing and signing up for a free web hosting service:

If the web host you are looking at checks all the points above, then it will probably do a good job for you and your website. However, sometimes it seems that after a while being with the web host you're with, the speeds you get deteriorate. It's almost as if, for the first month or so, you're on a list of "new people", who WILL get full speed and a reliable FTP server, but then after that, it just seems like you're on a list of "Oh, they've been with us for a while so they know we're good so we'll just put them on the low speed list to reduce CPU usage" then that's a bad thing.

I have experienced this, in fact, I still am, because the web host I am with did indeed start off really well. They stuck to their promises. But after a while, I find myself seriously struggling to upload anything to my website, which is, of course, a major problem for me, because I like to keep my website updated with blog posts and tutorials.

There are very few web hosting companies who will indeed provide a 100% reliable web hosting service. If you manage to find one, please leave a comment suggesting your ideas.

OK, that's it for this article, you can check out my website at and obviously, my other Bukisa content as well.

Thanks for reading. :)
