(Top 9 Reasons) Why You Should Avoid Free WordPress Hosting

1. (Top 9 Reasons) Why You Should Avoid Free WordPress Hosting Often there are two types of business owners - one who goes for the best and one who chooses the median. Even in the online business landscape, the case is no different. When people start to build a WordPress website from scratch, most of them would prefer a recommended WordPress host while others will rely on a free WordPress host.

2. While both of them have their own set of advantages and disadvantages, free WordPress hosts are well-known for the latter one. So, what are they? Well, we will find out that in the next section of this blog being wrapped up in some powerful reasons for not choosing it. But before moving ahead, I must let you know about the ​client-centric ​web design Los Angeles company - SFWP Experts​. It is one of the most experienced companies in the US that has several years of experience in designing, developing, and promoting a website. You can approach them for almost all services that your website needs, out of which some are WordPress web design and development, Wordpress plugin development, WordPress customization, search engine optimization, and pay per click advertising. Now let’s get back to the point where we left earlier. 9 Reasons Why You Should Avoid Free WordPress Hosting 1. Concern Of Security Vulnerabilities Since free WordPress hosts do not have enough funds or resources to employ network engineers and security professionals, you can’t expect them to offer you an excellent service. Such hosts are quite vulnerable to attacks provided that they have poor firewalls and inadequate security countermeasures. Besides that, it doesn’t require a credit card to sign up, making the entry barrier to free WordPress hosts almost zero. Taking advantage of this

3. signup process, users or bots with malicious intentions could easily get a free hosting account. Since your WordPress website is hosted by the same server, it is more vulnerable to internal attacks. 2. Performance Issues You know that shared WordPress hosts are more likely to have performance issues owing to increased loads on the server. Mostly when someone misuses the shared server’s resources or some website receives heavy traffic. Now, you could imagine what could happen with free WordPress hosts where anyone can get an account at the zero dollar price point. There is a good chance that your WordPress website will have to face challenges of intermittent downtime and thus poor overall performance. 3. Limited Resources What’s one good thing about shared hosts is that they have enough money to buy powerful servers. This is why they are able to offer their clients a host of benefits such as unlimited disk space, high I/O operations quota and unlimited bandwidth (subjected to fair-use policy), among others. On the other side, free hosts don’t have that budget and you have to compromise with low disk space, limited bandwidth, and pretty low max file upload size.

4. development, WordPress website redesign and maintenance, social media management, SEO, PPC, and online marketing. 4. Low Success Rate Of Automated WordPress Backups As you already know, how much WordPress backups are important and how they can emerge as a life-saving option at times. Most of the reliable shared web hosts that you might know such as BlueHost and SiteGround offer automated R1Soft backups for their hosting account but free hosts don’t. In a free WordPress host, even if you set an automatic backup using UpdraftPlus, there is a good chance that it will fail. Even if the scheduler does the job, still there is a chance that the remote upload job would fail, no matter if it happens due to network errors or timeout of PHP maximum execution time. 5. No Customer Support Let me be blunt here - free WordPress hosts are not obliged to provide you any form of customer support. If they do it’s well and good but if they don’t respond to your query, there is nothing you can do about it (except moving to a paid host). In case you are running an eCommerce site or your business is entirely dependent on website traffic, we suggest you go for a paid host. This way your website will keep earning for you consistently even when you sleep. And if it gets crashed due to traffic spikes, you know what you have to do. Alternatively, you can also reach out to us as well for guidance or assistance for choosing a good host. At our Los Angeles web design company, you get an array of high-quality services that aren't only limited to

5. eCommerce web design and development but search engine optimization, conversion rate optimization, and social media marketing as well. 6. Sudden Service Termination There have been many WordPress hosts over the years like WordPress, 000webhost, HostAwesome, and Byet that have been known to provide good services to its clients. However, just after a few years to 2019, some of them have gone out of business. And it’s no wonder that it actually happened because they are not reliable in the long term. In the worst-case these free WordPress hosts might disappear overnight without any warning or communication. Also, you don’t get an idea when or even if they are coming back. But if you are lucky enough, you will have a backup of your WordPress website stored in a remote location. Using it you can easily restore your website and bring everything again on the track. 7. WordPress Emails Doesn’t Work Properly A major issue with free WordPress hosts is the poor email delivery system (especially the inability to send emails from the hosting server). Since they allow anyone to sign up for an account without fulfilling any requirement, malicious bots use these servers to send spam to as many users as possible. As a result, the IPs of free hosts are blacklisted by popular email providers and when the emails originate from these IPs and sent to other people they are automatically sent to spam. However, if you want to opt for email marketing to promote your products or services, you can get in touch with the representatives of our Los Angeles

6. web design company. We specialize in a variety of professional services including email marketing, internet marketing, and content marketing. Other than this, you can also get ahold of us for custom web design, homepage design, landing page design, logo design or mobile app development that will help in expanding your reach and grow your business. 8. Hurt Your SEO Rankings And Limits Your Hosting Benefits When you will sign up for a free WordPress hosting account, they will only allow you to use a subdomain in order to preserve their branding effort. However, if you plan to link a custom domain, you will have to opt for its paid upgrade. The case with ads is no different either. Free WordPress hosts will display their ads on your site and won’t allow you to run the ads that will prevent you from making too much money. And as far as SEO goes, your site won’t rank higher in the search engine results if it will be hosted in a sub-domain with a poor DA. 9. Expensive Upsells Costs And Difficult Migration One of the common ways free hosts make money is by upselling. They charge you overpriced amounts for even minor upgrades such as increasing disk space or transferring bandwidth. Moreover, if you wish to migrate your website to any other host, they might unnecessarily complicate the migration process and create problems for you. So, What Are Better Alternatives To A Free WordPress Host?

7. 1. WordPress.com (Free) 2. Shared WordPress Hosting – BlueHost ($2.95/mo) 3. VPS Hosting – DigitalOcean ($5/mo) 4. Cloudways – Managed Cloud Hosting ($10/mo) Lowdown Conclusively, the money that you think you will save by choosing a free WordPress host over the paid ones isn’t going to happen in reality. It’s a complete hoax that you shouldn’t believe and consider switching to the other good hosts. Another thing that is disappointing about free WordPress hosts is that the amount of time you will have to spend on fixing issues associated with the security of your site, performance, and over reliability will cost you a lot more than the cost of paid ones. So, if you are pretty much concerned about the security of your customer and website information, we suggest you trust one that has proper security countermeasures, more disk space, and high input and output operations.
