Cheap web hosting guide


Free web hosting with your own domain

The biggest mistake you can make when you start to design your own web site is to use free web hosting without registering your own domain. Yes, I host some of my secondary web sites on my Internet access provider, but that's because I am sure I will never promote them, and I do not mind losing them for a while (and changing all my links to that web site) when I decide to change my free web host. But even for those web sites I now start to use domain hosting. Professional web hosting companies such as Lunar pages now have basic packages that allow several domains to be hosted and have enough bandwidth to support all those domains. So the cost of hosting a single domain can become less than $1 per month if you host several web sites in one account.

So, if you still consider using a free domain hosting provider check very carefully: Do I really own my own domain and Will I have enough bandwidth when I start getting a lot of visitors . Make sure that your free hosting provider does not force you into a very expensive package when your demands grow or, as happend to my family, starts charging large fees for traffic above the minimal traffic they allow for your free web site. Ask yourself, is this really worth the trouble for saving a few dollars each month?
