Currently,
there are about 333.8 million domain name registrations, which is steadily
increasing by 1% annually. Statistics also reveal that there are roughly 1.94 billion websites. As a
result of the slow speed of websites, the conversion rate drops by around 7%.
This drop rate results in losses of approximately half a billion dollars. To
prevent the conversion losses due to the slow running of websites, you should
only bank on top-notch hosting providers.
Free Hosting
The saying goes- “There is no such thing as a
free lunch.” The question naturally arises - why would some companies provide
free hosting services? What’s in it for
them? A bit of research reveals that these companies would make money via advertisements
they place on the free spaces on your website.
Offshore Hosting
Unlike its counterpart, offshore hosting is
chargeable. The charges are fair as generally reputed and reliable service
providers offer offshore hosting services. It tends to negate the issues you would face if you employ free hosting services.
Offshore hosting is expensive due to many
reasons. The internet is connected using undersea cables. The offshore hosting
centers need to ensure the availability of electricity around the clock. They
have to invest in generators. Due to the difference in socio-economic
conditions, manpower needed for installations and repairs in the data
centers is relatively expensive. The space to host the servers is also
expensive for an offshore hosting service provider.
So, which one is better for you? It mostly depends on the nature of your business. If you are just starting your business or a solopreneur and not in a position to invest in offshore hosting, you may opt for free hosting services. You, however, should always seek to upgrade to offshore hosting at every possible opportunity to avail professional and reliable services.
