If you open up Google and do a search on the `cheap free web hosting`, more than many million web pages come out as a result. With that much competition, is it pretty easy to get lost while searching for a cheap free web hosting provider and reviewing which are the most eminent points to take into account. The most eminent points are: 1. The cheap free web hosting company must have a control over their servers. The main part of the cheap free web hosting industry is based on reselling server space to someone else. If the provider you get don`t own the space, it could happen that when you desire to move to another provider for any reason, you depend on their will to help you. This really happened to me a few years ago when the cheap free web hosting provider with which I was cooperating was very beneficial, but was sold and after that, when I wished to move a customer to a different cheap free web hosting, the company don`t even replied my mail. It is very hard to move a large site without having root access, but I had to do it. Although I lost many days and it was very awful, the migration even wasn`t perfect. Today I get a VPS (and root access to it) and my life is much better. If you are actually on a budget and can`t afford a VPS, go for a shared cheap free web hosting like HostGator, which is a reputable provider. 2. Don`t let your cheap free web hosting company own your domain. Your domain is your brand on the Internet. Besides, when you acquire links to your website you get traffic from them to your domain, not to your cheap free web hosting. If you lose your domain, all the traffic that came from those hard earned links are lost right away. If the cheap free web hosting provider offers you a domain name for free, make sure that the email of the administrative contact is an email that you control and you have a control panel where you can see the ownership of your domain. 3. Avoid Free cheap free web hosting Of Any Kind. Free cheap free web hosting is nice for your resume or to tell the history of your dog, but when you are commencing a business, even a little one, it is very weighty to have your own domain because if your page is hosted at someone`s else domain, when you get links to your page, you become dependant on your cheap free web hosting company because if in future you choose to have your own domain, all the links you got will still be pointing to the cheap free web hosting company which will gain all the traffic that should have been yours. 4. Seek a cheap free web hosting With Good Support. It takes many YEARS to completely appreciate all the issues of the cheap free web hosting platforms. Even many Internet network business professionals with 10 years in business don`t completely appreciate all the options they have in their control panel. So, if you are a newbie, you could be in big trouble just about all the time if your cheap free web hosting doesn`t give you manuals, advice or help you to finish technical tasks. Think of that you purchased a cheap free web hosting to make money, not to lose your time with technical things.
