If you wish to build a website, you need to find a good web hosting and a domain name so your site will be seen in the internet. Most of the starters especially if their purpose is for practicing only, the idea of getting a domain name and a web hosting might be out of their budget. I’m going to rephrase it, you need not to spend any money for your web hosting and domain name.

There are lots of websites out there which offer free web hosting services and free domain services but there are only a few which are worth to sign up. Of course, this is business. Most of these free services require you to place their ads on your website after acquiring a space from their host. But there are also generous web hosting company out there which willingly host you without forcing you to place their ads.

In getting a web host, these technical specifications should be considered before signing up:

1. WEB SPACE – how large the amount of data would you require for you web site. I think for a personal website 200MB – 300MB is fine.
2. BANDWIDTH/DATA TRANSFER – the amount of data transferred to or from the website or server within a prescribed period of time. If you have bigger file size to load on your sites and if you have a large audience or visitors, you need a high bandwidth.
3. AVAILABILITY OF SCRIPTS SUPPORT – these pertains if the web host can execute some files like the PHP and ASP. this depends on the website you are running. If you want to have a site powered by WordPress, your web host should run PHP scripts.
4. FTP/UPLOADING TYPE- how are you going to upload your files? is it through File Transfer Protocol FTP? or advanced browser uploading? I more like the idea where I can upload a zip file and I can able to unzip it.
5. ADS? – Does the company force you to display their ads? It would be nicer if they don’t.
6. UPTIME SECURITY – Can you assure the host can be 99.99% running?

Getting a free webhosting could be uncomparable to a paid hosting. I just appreciate those companies that offer free and quality web hosting services to people especially those who need another money or paycheck.
