I was trying to make money from my website. As a beginner, I host my page with free web provider. The first problem I had was when the servers of this company went down and my page was not working for more than two days, you do not want such a problem in the beginning of your business, and what frustrated me was no one respond to tell me when it will be on again then after the server start working again I lost all my files and no one responds in these companies to you to fix the problem.
There is another issue, all search engines will not consider your website in their search lists, if it is hosted by a free hosting provider because the search engine will find out the new website from the root of the URL then will trace the links on the site to index them. In other words, your page address will be a sub-domain it is overlooked by the search engine. The search engines index the free hosting provider not your page, so you are working for the benefit of your host company, do you want that? I do not think so.
Further, if you have your site with a free host provider who does not have the own premium hosting service means, you will have trouble in transferring all your pages when you upgrade or have a new page domain name.
I believe, it worth paying some money monthly for a quality, good paid hosting solutions. To run a successful e-commerce you need a reliable web site hosting like Vexxhost, who I really can depend on them with their fast and amazing cooperatively team who helps always in time.
