As a website owner you have on big decision right at the start of your upcoming online ventures. It can be very tough to select the right web hosting provider for the project. There are hundreds of thousands of web hosting companies out there, offering their services at a variety of prices - most of which are affordable. But, there are also free hosting options out there.

Most people will notice that the first difference between these services is the cost. The features offered are different for free website hosting services. You need not pay anything to upload files to the companies servers. You aren't responsible for any fees associated with hosting the website on the server as well. Other website hosting companies charge a fee to host your website and usually they offer more services for this fee.

Bandwidth is one of the more crucial aspects of web hosting that you will need to consider. What this refers to is the quickness with which data is sent from the host server to the Internet visitor to the website, and the larger the bandwidth, the more quickly a website can load in order for visitors to view videos, photos and files.

How much space is required for a particular website is another key consideration, as you may wish to expand the site in the future, or at least retain the ability to do so. If you choose a free web hosting company you will normally only have a limited amount of web space or number of pages allowed on your website.

You want your site to be easy to maneuver and navigate. If visitors struggle, they will hit the back key. So as you choose a web hosting company, they offer ease of navigation. You do not want to be restricted by the company in what you can do, and how much control you have, with your site. Unfortunately, most free hosts will not give you a lot of control and won't even let you use your own domain name. You are asked instead to use either an internal domain or sub-domain of the free host's website.
