Things to Look For In Free Website Hosting
Summary about free site hosting by James Mepp
These are a few things that I look for when I’m choosing a free website hosting company.
Coding
Generally, speaking most free website hosting companies only allow you to use html. If you need more advanced coding, such as .php or asp, most free hosting companies allow you to upgrade to a paid subscription, so that all coding and other features are available for use.
Ads
Some hosting companies use forced ads to sponsor your free hosting. I strongly recommend that you completely disregard any hosting companies that use ads to support your site.
File Transfer
FTP is essential for those that desire easy file transfer from computer to site. If the company doesn’t have FTP then they most likely have a browsers based file transferring system. In my opinion, these systems are never as efficient as FTP.
Domain names
The ability to register a domain via your hosting company or a third-party site is quite simple. Then to have said domain transferred to your new hosting service. Alternatively, you could always register a sub-domain from the company, as most offer this service.
