First of all...When choosing a web host you should AVOID FREE SERVICES!

I can't stress to you enough, how important this is! Many new online entrepreneurs make the mistake of trying to save a little extra cash by choosing free or even low-cost web hosting, not realizing the huge negative effects that this will have on their business.

Free web hosting should be avoided entirely because...Visitors perceive free sites as small-time and unprofessional!

If you do manage to establish an online business using a free web host, your name will become linked to their name because you are using their root domain as your website address.

Not to mention...

* They can you shut down instantly! For example, if you get accused of spamming, they can cut you off without even giving you a warning or a chance to defend yourself.

* They may decide you are doing to well and start charging you.

* They could go out of business and leave you with nothing.

put it this way you are spending all of your time and money advertising a URL connected to someone else which you do not even own! You're relying completely on their good graces and business sense. If anything happens to your URL, you've lost all of your hard-earned incoming links, your advertising is no longer of any use , and your customers will have no idea as of where to find you!

They advertise on your site and you have NO control what so ever over what kind of advertising they do or where on your site it appears.Your visitors may be bombarded with an annoying stream of pop-up windows advertising your web host's products and services.

If you don't read the fine print, you may be giving up the copyright to all of your web content, in exchange for your "FREE" web space. Is it really worth it?

If you plan on making a success of your Internet business, you should never for a second consider going with free web hosting. While free web hosting might be great for people who are just looking to put up a personal web page, it comes at too high a cost for the serious entrepreneur.

Low cost-web hosting really isn't much better. Here the phrase "You get what you pay for" really applies.

Because budget web hosting companies deal in QUANTITY, and not QUALITY, you can expect poor customer service and slow connection speeds. These companies tend to oversell their services, hosting too many sites on insufficient servers, causing slowdowns and problems. They rely on the inexperience of their customers to make their money.

What does all of this mean to you?

...Well, If your web host doesn't have top security measures in place, If they don't back up their servers properly(let alone their back up servers), if their tech support is unreachable, if their servers are down more then they are up... it affects your business!

...Trust me you do not want to go through this same nightmarish experience
