I have a few domains with Godaddy which I am currently building contents for. Since these domains were registered with Godaddy, I have free credits to host my website with them provided that I must show ads on my web pages. Got a few questions though; 1. How long the free hosting is allowed for? As long as my domain name is active or only for a limited time? 2. If in future I switch to paid hosting, will it effect my web site rank ( if any ), links and other status? Please share your knowledge. San262
Depends on GoDaddy's terms and conditions for your package. It is better to contact GoDaddy on this. However, when you switch to paid hosting, it should not be affecting your website contents and stats. contact GoDaddy on this and avoid confusion.
the hosting is free as long as you keep domain with them it is not limited and it is no way going to affect your future rank if you are not using this domain
godaddy offers free hosting with domain but they run there ads on them to cover cost. so best thing is go to paid hosting. your rank will not change when you go from free to paid
