Free Web Hosting

Let me offer a word of advice regarding free web hosting. Avoid free web hosting for your portfolio site! Most free web hosting companies are able to operate by putting their own advertising on your website.

Be Professional
Your business/portfolio site should be free of advertising or other distractions. Geocities, FortuneCity, etc. are fine for your pet rabbit Fifi's website, but they are not an option for your portfolio site. Most do not provide real domain name hosting, they also fill your pages with annoying advertising and popups.

Hosting for a small site is affordable. Invest in decent, reliable hosting for your portfolio site and stay away from free web hosting. Just remember, you usually get what you pay for, so follow the advice in the Choosing a web hosting company article and rest assured your site will be available when your next client comes looking for you.

Avoid free web hosting!
