How Web Hosting Can Play a Deconstructive Role in your website’s online reputation
You are perfectly at peace with the world and you do not care if the rest of the world starts falling apart. It is good to hear that and it is even more heartwarming to know that you have been posting great content for the past few months that has all the sparks to be able to carry flavor with the targeted audience and that means. But the traffic volume seems to show a completely different picture of reality, where the traffic volume never or rarely goes up. Now, this is not a puzzle, there are some issues involved that are crippling your blog from realizing its fullest potential. Yeah, it is the free web hosting that is killing your website’s prospects inside, or at least milking it dry. So, if you hate to see your blog struggling to make its living, here is how you can see the difference:
Your Website is Forever Down
This is a perpetual problem of every website that has been hosted for free. Since you are not willing to lose your purse strings anymore. You have to face the problem of downtime and frequent outages and I think this is not a good advertisement for a great blog. Just imagine the situation, your website manages to steal top rankings in some competitive keywords and just when your website starts getting a large number of visitors, your website goes offline as the outrage kills it again and much to your agony, you will reputation of your blog goes into a tailspin.
Bandwidth Limit is Painfully Small:
Free web hosting is known for providing limited bandwidth. Since you are not paying a penny for this service, you cannot raise your voice. With a small bandwidth limit, you will never be able to get your website scaling new height of success as whenever their will be any attempt, small bandwidth will start pulling it down and it will lose out on all the opportunities.
Too Many Ads:
Have you ever wondered how these hosting companies are earning their bread and butter to offer you such great service for free? Yeah, this is tough and the only way they can monetize their service is by adding some pop ads or banner ads somewhere on your website. Now, in the majority of cases, these ads have nothing to do with the theme of the website and that means a great visual distraction is underway, which is certainly not a sign of a great blog.
Pathetic Technical Support:
The less we talk about the technical support of free web hosting companies, the better. Most of the time, you will get no or little attention from them and whenever you want to get things done immediately, they will take at least 24 hours, which might get extended to 7 days to solve the thing.
You cannot be the Master of your blog:
With free web hosting, you will not be your own boss anymore. You will be at the mercy of others and the life support system of your blog, that is web hosting can be terminated without giving you any notice if they find that your website is violating their norms and codes.
I hope you have enough of these free things and will be willing to pay to help your website see the bright side of things.
