When it comes to the topic of web hosting, some people who are new to the internet wonder does it make sense to get a free web host. “No one will take you seriously”, “Not if you want to look professional”, “You get what you pay for.” These and other negative responses have been heard as an answer to the question about hosting your first website. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, I can show you a number of reasons why you should have a free web host for your first website. Those who question the benefits of a free web host can start off by reading: The Importance Of A Web Host. You will discover some basic, but very interesting facts about:

• Why You Need A Web Host
• What Services Your Web Host Provides
• Why Take Advantage of Web Hosting Features

Establishing and really understanding the importance of a web host is the first step in determining whether to go with a paid or free web host for your first website. This way, you know what is expected from a web host, any web host, so you have a model or standard of what a host should be, and what standard services are provided.

Once you see what all you can get in a free web host, you will no doubt determine that you don’t need to pay for hosting at the beginning of your internet journey. The features that are provided free of charge should be more than enough to get you started building a great online presence. Every newcomer should take the time to read and digest information on this subject because otherwise, like most people online, you will take free web hosting for granted.

Just like everything else in life, when we tend to flock to things that are FREE, but we also tend to view them (if not treat them) of little value. That’s probably because most of the things that are advertised as free turn out to have some “condition” attached to it. This is so, whether you call that condition a “catch” or not.

FOR EXAMPLE: Two recent articles entitled: One Guaranteed Way To Increase Traffic In 48 Hours! and it’s companion Posting Classified Ads And AdImages Guaranteed To Increase Traffic give a detailed explanation of how anyone can generate a burst of traffic and increase their earnings overnight. Of course everyone was interested in finding out if this is true because everyone wants to see a substantial increase in traffic to their writing (or web site).

After thoroughly reading both articles, the reader ends up with a very vivid view of how it is actually possible to increase their traffic quickly. While the information, as well as the ability to carry out the few necessary steps involved, are free, those with below average computer skills are at a disadvantage. The information about this successful traffic generating source gives the reader some simple MS Word step-by-step basics to help them get started on this money making strategy.. Since there are still some folks not that familiar with MS Word, the few instructions that are simple and pretty basic may prove to be difficult for those individuals..

Now so far, everything involved with using this surefire method to increase traffic is free. It took nothing but the time involved to read the two short articles. Those regular MS Word users will begin discovering little gold nuggets when they view their Google Ad revenue each day. This, all as a result of reading a couple of articles.

Those who don’t know MS Word have an option of getting a “Free” step-by-step Tutorial that breaks the system completely down to the lowest common denominator. The person who doesn’t grasp information as quickly can still benefit from the information about increasing their traffic.. The detailed screenshots show pictures and will them understand the information in the paragraphs a little easier

By now, you may be wondering: “But what was the catch? Everything was free, even the Tutorial, right?” Well, sort of. In order for readers to receive the Tutorial, they had to select one from a list of free affiliate program for them to sign up for . Some people obviously consider that to be a “catch”, but is it really. There are still no expenses to pay for the article information or the Tutorial information (which are obviously very valuable to have). If taking a few extra minutes to sign up for an affiliate program of my choosing is what it takes to get the final piece of necessary information, hey why not? After all, to signing up for the affiliate programs, is completely FREE! LOL!

1. The first reason is to help you to understand that there is nothing wrong with having a free web host, EVEN if they solicit to you from time to time. After all, you’re using their services and their space, and you’re doing it free of ads (This is typically who they would get their income from in order to make it worth their while). They have to be able to benefit somehow, in order to afford you this luxury. So they solicit and send you various offers, related to your online activities. It they target you correctly, the things they offer you usually turn out to be something you need. Just like in the above example, getting valuable, detailed, step-by-step information that proposes to help increase your traffic and earnings should be worth the risk of potential irritation from other “offers”.. Oftentimes, you may be pleasantly surprised and actually end up with two great "free" offers.
2. The second reason for the above example is to peak your curiosity about the two articles : One Guaranteed Way To Increase Traffic In 48 Hours! and the sequel, Posting Classified Ads And AdImages Guaranteed To Increase Traffic. The information the example discussed about drastically increasing your traffic is true and solid. Once you have selected a free web host and you have established your new website, you’ll be looking for ways to generate traffic. So be sure to BOOKMARK this page or information, and save it for WHEN you need it, because YOU WILL NEED IT (You may currently have hubs or other articles you could use this information to promote in this way.)
3. The last reason for sharing the above Example is to get you familiar with “self- promotion”, via your article writing. Another article that you will definitely want to have in your library of things to help your website is: “If Content Is King, What’s Queen?”. This article goes into detail about good and effective ways to promote: YOURSELF, YOUR PRODUCT, YOUR SERVICES, YOUR AFFILIATES. It’s all about you! Once again, this might not sound like something you’re interested in right now, but trust me, you will be looking for this information sooner than you think. Bookmark the page or put the article link in a safe place.

As for responses to the above reasons about whether or not to have a free web host, lets consider each one:

“No one will take you seriously”

Whether you are online or off, people take you as seriously as you take yourself. If you perceive your website to be inferior because it is hosted at a free site, then you will do things to manifest this attitude. This in turn will make others view your site with the same negative view. The same is actually true, even if you have a paid web host. Bottom line - You must first take yourself seriously!

“Not if you want to look professional”

Have you ever watched the Oscars or the Grammy Awards? Everyone eagerly awaits the day after the event, so they can see what celebrity made the year’s “Worst Dressed”. Upon seeing the “winners” our thoughts are always “How could anyone with so much money possibly dress so bad???” On the other hand, you might know a secretary that lives on a Walmart salary and dresses like a fashion model every day. As you can see, it’s not always about the money we spend that makes us look or be perceived a certain way. This is true about you website. When you take the time to READ, LEARN, and IMPLEMENT the valuable advice and strategies about your new website, it WILL look professional. On the other hand, if you fail to keep learning, you can pump as much money into a paid web host with all the trimmings as you want to, but you’ll still do a botched job of creating and presenting your website.

“You always get what you pay for.”

This point I won’t even bother to elaborate, because no matter how much we would like to believe the above statement is true, the truth of the matter is:

“You DON’T Always Get What You Pay For” (I know you can think of at least one time where you didn’t get what you paid for and you felt duped!)

“Sometimes You Get More Than You Pay For” (You can probably remember a time when you got a little more than you paid for and you were pleasantly surprised.”)

Once you have read and understand

• The importance and basics of having a web host
• The advantage and benefits of a free web host
• The places you can go to get free web hosting AND
  
• The need to keep learning and improving on your free hosted site
  

You are definitely ready to find out
