I'm just wondering why people wanted to waste their time for a free domain name and free website hosting when these free stuffs are unreliable and can bring their online business more harm than good.
generally these are newbies who are trying their luck online so its worth a try as people dont have the online financing or find it risky to finance things online
Why invest anything when you can start with nothing and earn money from it. Once you have developed your website and you can see potential, you can upscale.
There are sites like wordpress.com and blogger.com that gives free domain and hosting. They reliable and good for seo.
If you are serious about starting an online business you should definitely spend the $8.88 to register a domain that you have complete control over.
I suppose some people go for free to test things out and all, before actually committing to something.
Becoz people have fear of loss at the starting so they want to find a free hosting and domain name.its good for the newbies to test the things before investing.
Most good reputable web hosting companies here in the UK now give at least 30 day money back guarantee so there isn't any risk in getting a good paid web hosting package setup straight away.
Well, I suppose that it can be reasonable to buy hosting package (pay for the whole year if the company is reliable and reputed) and get FREE domain name. Many Companies offer such special within hosting plans.
start an online business do have to spend a few dollars to register and manage domain that you have, this will make you more reliable.
Some people just don't have the money to dish out at the beginning and need to test the waters to make sure things work before they spend the money. If you don't know what you're doing it can get expensive.
Because they're a bunch of cheapos. If you can't afford the $8 to buy a domain, the online business is probably not for you.
Most of the people use free hosting to test how to install a script like a new bloggers.Other like hackers use it so that can make a scam page
It's a good idea for students to cheaply get on the web and learn new skills, but if your seriously about your web presence stay well clear from free web hosting.
i was into it back when i was just starting.. i joined forums to get a free domain in exchange if posts it is indeed unrelaible but you'll learn how to back up database on your own with it and learn to move to another host.
something for free is only cheese in a mousetrap use HostGator or some another good web hosting provider - it worth that money
I agree with you. I also noticed that most of the people who wanted to start their online business do not really know what to do or where to start. They also thought that all the free stuff can still get credit to their business.
