Free Web Hosting

Web Hosting:

A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation.

Types of Web Hosting:

There are several types of hosting

• Free web hosting service
• Shared web hosting service
• Reseller web hosting
• Virtual Dedicated Server
• Dedicated hosting service
• Manage hosting service
• Home server

I would like to introduce you about Free Web hosting service because it is readily available to every person in no cost. You can have your website up in few minutes. Most of free web hosting service providers facilitate user to have full control on the space by using the control panels or FTP account.

How it help companies to provide Free Web Hosting?

Most of web hosting service provide set a specific amount for a user to host a free website. In return few companies require banner ads to be floated on the user website but most of companies claim no banner ads or pop out in the free account. That sounds great but there is hack in that entire scenario. It is obvious that when you require a website to be hosted on any free hosting server you need a domain name (i.e. URL for the website) registered. Most of the free hosting service providers require you following:

1. Register a domain (charged)
2. Domain Transfer (charged)

So if you don’t get a registered you don’t get free web hosting service. So companies are in loss position because it is business. You have to pay for web hosting it is not totally free in most of the cases.
