How Good is Free Web Hosting?

Is Free Web Hosting Really Good?
Is a question well asked about web hosting. I try one two years ago that said it will be free if I pay for the domain name. Well I did and it was about $35 bucks and they gave me 25 mg of storage and unlimited traffic. The thing that attracted me to the web host was the unlimited traffic, because the worth thing that can ruin your online business is a website that doesn't appear to visitor. That's why I look for a reliable web host.
Well after six months of service with my so and so web hosting company, my site started to not appear and I started losing traffic. Traffic is hard to get to begin with so losing is a big loss. I e-mail them , but they took a long to respond back to me and that was a bad sign.
Free Web Hosting That Charge for Domain Name vs Free Web Hosting
Than I closed my account with them and signed up for a free web hosting account with tripod.com part of Lycos and Geocities owned by Yahoo. I found them to be more reliable than the web host that charged by domain name. I am not saying that all free web hosts that charge to host a domain name with them aren't always reliable, but I am saying that they won't offer the best web hosting service there's.
So if you are considering a free host that you pay for , than look for how long they been in business and the uptime (that's how long your site will be up for visitors), if it says "99 7 or 99 9" than that's good, any less than that is a bad idea. And if you can pay hosting fees instead of getting a free web host , then do it, it's for the better.
What's the Best Web Hosting I Can Get?
If I had to choose between a free web hosting that doesn't offer me a reliable uptime for my site and a paid web host that does , than I will say the paid web host is better. And it's not that expensive. Some offer web hosting for as low as $5 a month and less. It depends on how much space you need. If you don't need a lot of space than go for less storage, and that will save you on your hosting cost. One of the best paid web host that worked out good for is below. Feel free to check it out for yourself and see if it's good for your site.

The above site will give you all the hosting goodies and good uptime for only $4.95 a month and $12.95 to host a domain name with them. It's a winner , I tried it myself and it was much reliable than the free web host I talked about earlier. Good luck to you, and thanks for reading my article.
