Can I use free web hosting space?
Yes you can – but again I wouldn’t recommend it. Free stuff always comes at a cost (why then do they call it free? – who knows). Free web space reminds me of that time I was in the queue for some brains and I thought it was for trains so I asked for one that goes slow and stops a lot.
Free hosting at its best is like my brain – it goes slow and stops a lot. This may not bother you but it will bother your site users. In the worst cases you get adverts with free space and you can’t use a domain name with it. This means your organisation looks a little dodgy and even if people do make it to your site they will get bombarded with flashing monkeys and subjected to screaming yellow blobs – not nice.
My advice to you if you are considering some free space is: pay up you tight wad!
Hosting doesn’t need to be expensive but if you don’t pay anything your organisation will suffer – guaranteed.
