Web site hosting service companies on the Internet permit the user to
make their web site accessible through the World Wide Web. There are
huge numbers of companies that offer web space on their server for their
customers and also offer Internet connectivity in general in a data
center. There can be various types of web site hosting companies. The
main classification is the free web site hosting and the paid web site
hosting service companies.
In case of free
web site hosting, the user has the right to upload his
or her web site content on the server space that is provided by the web
site hosting company without any cost. This type of web site hosting
service is great for people who are new to to internet and plan to get
familiar with web site creation and functionality of web servers. On the
other hand, to get your web site uploaded on a web space that is
provided by a paid web site hosting company, you need to pay the company
periodic fees. The fee amount may vary from company to company. The
paid web site hosting companies are best suited for professional web
site owners. People who need large web space to upload their web sites
and who expect a certain amount of web site visitors which is restricted
on free hosting accounts to a minimum.
The revenue that the paid web hosting service companies get is
through the fee that is paid to the company by the web site owners. In
case of free web site hosting companies, the main source of income are
the ads and banners that can be placed on their clients web pages.
The main advantage of using a free
web site hosting service is that
they are free of cost and hence make a perfect choice for people who are
new into the business and are just looking to start out. They are
perfect for people who just want to display a minimum content on the
World Wide Web in small amount of web space. The other advantage of
using the free web site hosting service is that most of these companies
provide integrated, easy tools to upload the pages on to the hosting
account. They do this realizing the fact that the free web site hosting
services are generally utilized by the newbies.
There are also certain disadvantages of using the free web site
hosting services. When using the free web site hosting service, you are
forced to place the ads and banners by the web site hosting company on
your web pages. Also the revenue that is obtained by the ads goes to the
web site company. In case of paid web site hosting service, ads and
banners placed on your web site are according to your will and the
revenue of the banners and ads placed on your web site goes in your
pocket. Also in some case of free web site hosting, the domain name of
your web site starts with the web site hosting company name followed by
your web site name. This is not the case of paid web site hosting
service. You get a unique web site domain. The web space provided by
free web site hosting service is limited whereas in case of paid web
site hosting service you can buy the web space according to your
requirements.
