Free Mac Hosting

Free Mac Hosting

The old adage “you get what you pay for” is very relevant when you’re considering free Mac website hostingAll mac website hosting companies need to make money somehow – they can’t give away hosting for free to everyone or they’ll go out of business.

If you choose the free mac hosting option there will always be a catch. For example, with free hosting you may to have banner ads or pop ups or pop unders on your site, be limited in what you can put on your website (ie maybe you can’t sell products on your site), have to too much for your domain name (ie more than $30/year for a .com domain name is too much!), or possibly your free hosting will only be for a few months as a gimmic to get you to sign up.

When searching for a good, affordable, quality mac website hosting company be sure to do your homework. You wouldn’t house your physical business in a seedy neighbourhood just because the monthly rent/lease is free, so why would you consider doing the same thing with your website?

Free mac website hosting companies come and go often since offering free hosting is a pretty unstable business model. If you’re serious about building a website that will actually be around next year, set aside a few hundred dollars a year for website hosting. Free mac website hosting just isn’t worth it if you’re serious about having a professional business or personal website. 

If you have or want to build a business website and can find good Mac website hosting that comes with its own mac website builder for the $30-$50 a month range you’re doing well. You could get away with paying $7-$20 a month, but be sure to comparison shop and make sure that where you’re saving a few bucks a month you’re not adding hours of your own time setting up or troubleshooting your hosting that isn’t working.
