Free Website Hosting

Selecting a free web host

Be careful in your selection of a free hosting provider. Each has their own way of doing things. Some will plaster ads all over your site which can be a great distraction to your visitors. Others will have slow uploading speed and/or very little bandwidth and storage.

Also, the tools they provide for your site maintenance may not be user friendly. If you intend to publish your first website this can make your job more difficult. These are some of the things you need to check out before you sign-up.
