Question free hosting?

I have heard that free hosting is no good for a business site even with your own domain. The search engines don't recognize them.
What do you think?

Everything free is not good enough. On free hosting servers you have many web sites and google see that, if you have one dedicated IP and many domains on it. After that with free hositng provider you dont have quality support etc.

Yes, Free Hosting is not good for Hosting a Business site. This is because the Hosting provider promotes his services via your website. Free Hosting generally has slow loading speed. Moreover there is not much technical support offered if a client has any issues. So your website might be offline due to this and you might suffer business loss. So a Free Hosting is not recommended if you wish to host a business website.

In free hosting you will be using a shared IP, there will be no dedicated IP and there will be limited resources for you to use with very poor tech support from the host provider.

If it free or payed , either shared or dedicated IP Google will recognize and Google indexing by domain name not by IP

Hi @1024260608 thanks to agree with my point of view i dont know why people try to get free hosting when they can get hosting at very very cheap rate i would suggest every one to follow my signature and see our packages i am sure after taking a look on packages no body will go for free hosting.

People usually mistake free hosting to be something of substandard nature and I do not think that is just fair for those offering free hosting services but of great quality. I must agree that there really are some who are just up to no good but there are also those who work even better than those for paid subscriptions.

I think there wouldn’t be any problem in terms of getting recognized in the search engines. However I am doubtful what kind of services and features will be provided with free hosting. For getting the best features it is preferable to invest in a good paid hosting plan. If your website is always up and monitored efficiently, the search engine rankings will also improve.

It is still technically possible to get finally free hosting, some strings attached. It is a personal choice when picking the right host for you but there are some free hosting guidelines.

It depends on the free hosting providers you are working with, if the servers are so spammy for Google then you're right.

However, there are tons of great FREE hosting providers like Yola free hosting, they give you a free hosting with a free site builder and most importantly without ADS. try them out.

Good luck,
Nabil
