When it comes to web hosting, It may be quite costly for some start-up companies, and yes, there is free web hosting provided by companies, but there are caveats and sometimes even sticky terms which is hard to fathom.
Though there are good things about both free hosting and paid professional hosting, there are still differences between the two.
Speed
Speed is an essential part which can have notable impact on a website. As user experience is critical and most users will take note of the loading time of the website. If you use free hosting, many times the loading speed might be slower, when compared to the paying web hosting service, the load speed would be snappier, and this would be a boon for user experience.
Number of Advertisements
Another speed related reason might make you rethink fremium hosting. Free hosting services might slow down sometimes from loading of a lot of advertisements, they got to make some revenue somewhere. This could affect your website; in some extreme cases, it could lead to malware infection. This might decrease the number of customers as they might be annoyed about the ads marring their experience.
