Difference Between Free And Paid Media Web Hosting
By Mikal Jhonson
So you’re out of cash for that much-wanted online website to complement the startup of your online business. And then here comes a friend telling you that there are a number of free media sites that could solve your dilemma. Before you go and sign up, get to know first the pros and cons of a free media site as compared to a paid one.

The primary advantage of using a free media site is the fact that it’s basically a free service. You don’t need to pay any monthly charge for the technical service you avail from such free universal media outfit. You have the right to upload the content of your online business site in whichever way you want it and as such, you can be assured of independence as to how will your website look like.


Another advantage that you can get from using a free web host would be the user-friendly, easy-to-use navigation tools to upload the content of your site. Since most of the general patrons of the free universal media service are newbies or those who are still learning the ropes of online media web hosting.

The disadvantage, however, would be the limited bandwidth and disk

space that are allotted for your business website. While you may have the autonomy to design how your business site will look like, free hosting sites usually have a limited storage capacity.

Another con would also be the advertisements and online banners imposed by such free universal media outfits. You see, when you sign up with a free hosting company, you are bound to accept the terms and conditions stipulated in the license agreement and part of such accord is the hosting site’s right to place ads on your website. What’s worse is the fact that the revenue from these banners and ads go straight into the media site’s pockets and not to yours.

Lastly, when you subscribe to a universal media company offering free web hosting, the name of your domain will include the name of the free media site, which will give the impression to would-be customers about your not being able to afford your own website.

Now with all such information laid out, it is then your choice whether to push through with free media or avail of a decent paid universal media company. Free media – to be or not to be.
