One pressing concern for site owners when choosing a new webhost is whether or not their domain will function at the new host. The answer is yes, with a change of the DNS the domain will work with any host.
We recommend registering your domain names through your hosting company, as it can save you a fair amount of headache in security, updates and performance. Note by registering your domain with our hosting provider you benefit from free SSL.
How about Free Web Hosting?
For most companies, a website is a must, unfortunately free web hosting can often lead to disappointment and difficulty. Some domain name registries like GoDaddy.com will charge for the domain name registry and offer a limited amount of web space to build a website.
This website space is small and often comes with restrictions. Other sites will offer an amount of time in which the hosting is free but require that a credit card be entered. They do this in the hope that after your trial hosting period, you will have forgotten about stopping the service and these hosting sites charge the hosting fees automatically.
Subdomain Websites
- Until you register a domain name for your website to direct to, all free sites will direct to their subdomain.
- Subdomains are like the primary address where the given website name is the apartment or unit number.
- Some website building platforms allow the business to create a website and attach host domain name as an extension for example www.websitebuildingplatform.com/your-website
- Most site builders of this kind provide very little in the means of support and require some amount of web development knowledge coding.
- What they do provide is ample storage and transfer space, allowing you to create complex and effective sites however the host will place ads on your site that can detract traffic from it. To remove these ads often requires the purchase of a service upgrade option at an additional cost
