What is better free or paid hositng account?

I have found out that 7host offered free and paid hosting accounts.
What is the difference between them? What do you prefer free or paid ones?
It would be great if you share some discounts on its paid hosting services...

You get what you pay for...

There free hosting has ads, non branded url, and 50mb of space. Its just not a plausible option for a business, not even a personal site.

I agree with PsiPro on this one. Starting with shared hosting packages are very cheap and the benefits far outweigh the disbenefits

Start from low cost services which webhostgiant, for instance offers for their clients, it's well-supported services with a great amount of resources which are available from them.

Pay for hosting. Like said before, you get what you pay for, meaning free services usually get you ads, downtime and other nasty annoyances.

If you are an entrepreneur, invest. Webhosting can be gotten pretty cheap, while being good. Try to go for a company that can scale up all the way to the biggest possible applications if you intend to do heavy stuff online in the future (it is easier and usually more effective to stay with the same company and build a trusty relationship with them).

If you have a business or a site that you plan on making money with. The best way to go is paid hosting. It's cheap like $80 a year. Most site's frown on free hosted site's because they're short lived.

If you just have a personal site that just sit's there free hosting would be fine.

Paid hosting is better. Normally really cheap. Free hosting tends to have ads.

I think that 7host.com will be a good option for you as I have heard many good points expressed by their clients. No doubt, paid hosting solutions offered by this reliable company would be more reasonable to choose, especially when there are discounts:
7HOST20LK: 20% off for hosting services

7HOST15DS: 15% off for dedicated servers

7HOST10HC: 10% off for hosting credits

There is no denying the fact that you will get what you pay for and I strongly believe that it will be great to choose paid hosting services offered by 7host.com, especially when some attractive discounts have already being mentioned.

With free hosting you can expect virtually no customer support or guarantees of speed and reliability/uptime. With paid support you are able to breathe a lot easier in these two areas, and personally I feel the small price paid for paid hosting is far worth it in the long run.

Definitely paid hosting, nothing's free in this world, you get what you pay for.

**bennihan** · 08-12-2009 11:53 AM

Definitely pay for you hosting. I got justhost and you can have unlimited domains for like $6 a month

Paid will do you a better job as in hosting "you get what you pay for" means something. You pay for your hosting - you get better support, better services and a better customer experience. If you go free, often the service will be poor and so will the support.

I think paid hosting is much better than free hosting. I know everyone likes free stuff but sometimes, you're still better off spending some cash on reliable hosting. Let's not forget that free hosting means annoying ads.
