Website hosting is what gives your website a place to live at(or exist at)because that is where the digital code that makes up your website resides. So you’ll need a Web Host. Just remember the other reason to never use free hosting is because you’ll look bad to your prospects and readers right from the beginning.

They’ll think “How can I believe in this product when this guy can’t afford to pay $4 a month on web hosting. You’ll lose all credibility if you use free services because you’ll actually be telling your potential customers that you’re not making any money. It really does look pathetic when you see someone trying to tell you how great their products are that are being hosted on a freebie site.

The other terrible thing about free hosting is that the free hosting companies usually put banners on your website that take your visitors away from you. Don’t ever let anyone advertise on your website unless they’re paying you at least a couple hundred dollars a month for banner space.

You don’t want your readers and prospects being distracted and directed over to a different site unless you’re getting paid very well for it. As a rule, I don’t sell banner space or any ad space on any of my websites under any circumstances. I just can’t stand losing my traffic to other websites. The only way I can keep the big income rolling in is if I do everything I can to keep my visitors on my site and coming back to my site. The last thing I’m looking for is a way to send my readers and new visitors somewhere else!

Trying to cut corners on web hosting can slow your whole business down. You may save a few dollars a month, but you’ll end up losing hundreds or thousands of dollars over the long run because your website will be down more often, you’ll have more frequent slow server interruptions, overloads, bogging down, sluggish servers, etc.

Cutting corners on web hosting also means you’ll have slow tech support and you’ll end up on hold half the day. Or you may even end up having to get tech support by email which is horrible if you have to wait 2 days to get a reply to your email problem. So don’t cut corners on web hosting.
