Free Web Hosting
Free Web Hosting
Free Web Hosting is the technology that allows you to share web pages you create with people anywhere in the world.
The technology offers sharing with millions of people, or with just a few, whatever you decide.
If you are new to the web or you don't have your own tools to build web pages, that's not a problem.
There are many free web hosting solutions all offer tools and shortcuts to help you get pages up quickly and easily.
And, if you like to build your own pages, you can do that too! To help illustrate, consider a common example.
Say you have photos you want to share.
You upload your photos to your website, create a page which uses those photos, and then supply your friends or family with the address of that page.
That's how free web hosting works in a nutshell.
Usually free web hosting companies provide different packages centered around storage space.
Storage space or Disk Space is specified in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or gigabytes (GB); a megabyte is 1000 kilobytes and a gigabyte is 1000 megabytes.
A free web hosting service is a web hosting service that is free, usually advertisement-supported and of limited functionality.
Free web hosts will either provide a subdomain or a directory.
In contrast, non free web hosts will usually provide a Second-level domain along with the hosting.
Some free web hosts do allow use of separately-purchased domains.
Rarely, a free web host may also operate as a domain name registrar, but their registry services are usually more expensive than others.
