Lost Credibility. Bear in mind that your web site creates the first impression of your potential clients about your business. Free web hosting provider can give you a long domain name and you can be stuck with it. This long domain name can be a signal to your prospects that your business is still not developed enough. It is very difficult to create trust and credibility when your web presence is fly-by-night.

First thing is first, never get a free domain or subdomain, spend the ten bucks a year and get yourself a .com. Free web hosting can often be unreliable, unless it’s from a large company like wordpress or google. I personally am using Tumblr right now and that seems to work well for me at this time. My suggestion would be to go with someone like hostgator if you want complete control over your content.

Hi Josiah, thanks for commenting.You are right, free hosting is not for business use.It can be OK for a hobby.I have also a Tumblr blog that I use to write short articles and also link back to this blog.

I am using Hostmonster. It’s a shared hosting, but I have unlimited domains and space etc. I have several sites hosted on it and I also used a coupon code when I purchased the hosting, so I’m only paying like $3.95 a month. It’s well worth the price.

Looks clear to me. If I don’t want my website to disappear one day. Or malfunctioning for weeks – paid hosting is the only option for my business.
