WordPress Free Hosting

Most of the Blogger choose WordPress[dot]com for their blogging, as it is free. The site is managed, maintained & updated by the company “Automatic”, they are the creators of the WordPress. They do provide Zero hassle environment, it means that bloggers can work on the quality of their content and rest is all handled by the company itself. Although there are few restrictions laid by the company on the content like they don’t allow you to put adult content or google ads, but working on WordPress[dot]com is really amazing. They do provide theme library with inbuilt functionality. You can choose from thousands of the themes available to bring the best look for your website. You cannot install your own theme or re-design the theme, you can only choose from the available themes, but still that library is quite huge. WordPress[dot] provides the cloud hosting environment. Cloud means that there is distributed network of multiple servers which means that the site is fast and secured, if any server goes down, the site comes from the other server; it never goes down of the Internet. Most of the bloggers do complain, that the WordPress[dot]com don’t allow them to install plugins of their choice to add new functionality to their blogs, they are allowed to enjoy the functionality did provided by the company itself. Most of the people who are looking for free hosting or want to switch to it; the creator company does provide import facility from self hosted environment. Many of the them are moved to the WordPress[dot]com, as it is very rapidly growing platform. Not only import, the site do offers export functionality also, if you are thinking of moving your site to the self-hosted environment.

WordPress Self Hosted

You have a domain and you want to manage your site by yourself. You have already purchased the hosting services from CPWebHosting.com. From the Fantastico available in the Cpanel, you have installed the WordPress on your site and now you want to manage it by your own choice. Although there is no content restrictions laid by CPWebHosting, but most of time it is seen they point on adult content or sometime they don’t allow you. But, you can find the listing of the adult hosting providers on them also, if they don’t allow, you can choose hosting services of those companies. So, if they don’t allow, they provide you choices which allows it.

If the wordpress is on the self-hosted environment, you can put the Google ad sense which is not allowed in a free hosting environment. You can put any custom theme of your choice and also re-design it with the way you like. You can always add new functionality to your website using the plugins.

Free Web Hosting : All About It


So many hosting companies now a days in the market providing this kind of hosting in which they offer no charges for any kind of hosting or disk space.
Most free hosting companies make money by
1) selling adds on your website.
2) from banner ads to pop-ups
So it proves to be a good revenue source also for users.

They make money through their adds but some of them make money through a hope that you may upgrade and pay for the advance features.

Another reason they can give it away free is that you are sharing a server with sometimes up to 100,000 other people. This overcrowding limits the amount of storage space and bandwidth transfer that a free host can provide. Most of the popular free hosting companies offer only enough space to have a small personal website. The good ones have paid upgrades available so you can graduate to paid web hosting when you are ready.

You have to manage your site yourself in your way. If the free web host allows anyone to signup and if they provide the features like PHP or CGI.You have to manage your site yourself in your way.You have to keep upgrading it and have to add catchy ingredients so that you could add more and more audience to your website.

Well as in every business there are threats involved,so there are threats of spammers,security loss,etc associated with free web hosting.You have to be very careful in dealing with these threats.

Comparing Free Hosting With Paid Hosting


Any product or service that requires storage or access on the internet will use the services of a web hosting company. The hosting company has a number of servers, or data centers, where each person is provided with varying amounts of space to store their digital media, including websites; others can then access these files.

There are a great many services available; you even have free hosting where you won’t have to spend a single dime, this is ideal for absolute beginners. There are many limitations to free web hosting services and they are not generally regarded as an option for serious web users as the amount of storage space is limited along with many other functions a web user may require. Hosting packages vary enormously and must be chosen according to the needs of the user and not based on price because certain requirements may not be available in the lower price range.

Almost everyone starts out with what is termed ‘shared hosting’ where the server is used by many. It is usually possible to upgrade to have a dedicated server for your files once you know the service provider is reliable; there is normally an additional charge for this facility. You need to have a registered domain to have a web hosting package otherwise files; websites and other digital information cannot be stored or accessed. Almost any information that is stored on a web server is called a file which can mean audio tracks, images, video footage and the website itself; as digital storage costs drop then the amount of space you are allocated tends to be increased over time.

When you have a paid web hosting package it will allow you to have an email address using your domain name unlike those that are offered free with the likes of Google, Yahoo or MSN for example where their name is at the end of the email address. People who are serious about their internet presence will want to have their own identity and to prove the point; you will never see a company using someone else’s domain in their email address. The amount of data that is viewed on your site each time someone accesses it is called bandwidth; it is an extremely important aspect to consider and the main reason why buying the cheapest hosting package is not always best.

If your company can’t offer you better bandwidth, then it will be very hard for your users to view your webpage. Of course this won’t matter if you only have a basic website but as soon as you start adding large images, audio tracks, video footage and other big files, your bandwidth will be used up very quickly. Although it is possible for a person to use their own PC as a host, there are many security dangers associated with this so using a dedicated web hosting company is preferable.

Types of Web Hosting


The basic types of the web hosting available in the market are:

1. Free hosting This type is free because the service would usually be compensated with advertisements on your website. Free hosting usually offers little or probably no support at all. It could also have a lot of disadvantages. This could be considered as a thing of the past, because hosting has actually become more and more affordable through the years.

2.Shared hosting This hosting is most popular as well as the most widely used kind of web hosting. Shared hosting would basically mean that multiple websites are being hosted on just one hard drive and server. This would mean that each user would just have a limited disk space as well as bandwidth or data transfer.

3.Reseller hosting This would be the reselling of hosting accounts for another web host under a brand of your own. You would be determining the pricing structure and other aspects. As a reseller, you would be provided with everything that you need and you would not need any hardware anymore.

4. Virtual Private Server This would be the low cost alternative for having your own server. Virtual would mean that you are not renting a real server, but you are rather splitting hardware with the other virtual servers running on the same machine.

5. Dedicated Server This is an advanced kind of web hosting which would include the rental as well as the exclusive use of an internet connection, a computer and software. This kind of server would provide the most control compared to all the other types but would also require the greatest responsibility.

6. Managed Hosting This is like an expanded dedicated web server hosting. In dedicated servers, the client has to take care of his or her own server but in managed hosting, the provider would have the responsibility of doing that.

7. Colocation This would be a hosting type that would require you to bring your server to the data center of your host.

8. Clustered hosting This type of hosting is commonly used by the biggest and most important websites. Clustered would mean that the same content would be served on a number of servers enabling better redundancy and resource.

Best Web Hosting Company – Find The Most Affordable Host


For any kind of site a host is needed so the first things on your agenda will be finding good, dependable, affordable web hosting for your site. In most cases, a free hosting service isn’t going to work.

You can choose a host but first you should think about your demands like if you plan to host a web-based community forum, you’ll probably need a web host that provides PHP and an SQL database. If, on the other hand, you’re planning on running Active Server Pages, or .NET applications, you’ll need a server running Windows rather than a UNIX or Linux code base.

Add-ons can turn an affordable web hosting package into an expensive proposition before you know it. Most hosting packages will allow you to add on a la carte items as you need them, but it can get pricey quickly. your web hosting provider should acknowledge any request for help within an hour with an estimated time of completion. So in this way you can choose a affordable host.

The popularity of site is much depend up the maturity of it and it place in search engines natural ways, once you get your site deleted from there it is very hard to bring back the new things again as the vacuum was immediately filled by others.

Free hosting or free sites are usually supported by advertisements and other stuffs. You have created a free site in sub domain and also find good free hosting. There are hell and heaven difference between a top level domain and a free sub domain. Domains are unique and represent the status of you. No other competitor of yours can steal your name and in matter of time your clients will memories the name.
