One who is having even little bit knowledge for hosting knows that this service can be availed for free or for several hundred dollars. But the question is whatâ ™s the difference? The answer is quite shocking often times if one is talking about typical shared web hosting in the $6 to $20 range then nothing. Except for good old fashioned marketing and hype. Thatâ ™s it!
In a survey conducted on 5 well known shared hosting accounts to see exactly whatâ ™s the difference between free web hosting and paid web hosting the results that came out are quite shocking. The survey was conducted keeping in mind the factors like requirement for a basic site like adequate disk space, ample email accounts, and reasonable bandwidth. After looking on all the other bells and whistles the result was there were not many who were really willing to pay loads extra for them. Also the term taken was not long but a short term say monthly or quarterly.
