(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 lets 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 cant 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 doesnt
require a credit card to sign up, making the
entry barrier to free WordPress hosts almost
zero. Taking advantage of this

• 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.
• 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 servers 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.
• Limited Resources
• Whats 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 dont have that
  budget and you have to compromise with low disk
  space, limited bandwidth, and pretty low max file
  upload size.
• If you cant find a WordPress hosting provider
  that can meet your website requirements, its
  better to consult with us. We will provide you
  with a perfect solution for which you will thank
  us later. Our Los Angeles web design company is
  prominent in North America for offering amazing
  customer service when it comes to responsive web
  design and

• development, WordPress website redesign and
  maintenance, social media management, SEO, PPC,
  and online marketing.
• 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
  dont.
• 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.
• 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 its well and good but if
  they dont 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

• eCommerce web design and development but search
  engine optimization, conversion rate
  optimization, and social media marketing as well.
• 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 its 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 dont 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.
• WordPress Emails Doesnt 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

• 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.
• 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 wont allow you to run the ads that will
  prevent you from making too much money.
• And as far as SEO goes, your site wont rank
  higher in the search engine results if it will
  be hosted in a sub-domain with a poor DA.
• 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

• WordPress.com (Free)
• Shared WordPress Hosting BlueHost (2.95/mo)
• VPS Hosting DigitalOcean (5/mo)
• 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 isnt going to happen in reality. Its
  a complete hoax that you shouldnt 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. In
  case you need any assistance, connect with us on
  call, chat or email. The professionals part of
  our Wordpress website design company will help
  you out with perfect solutions and also ensure
  your full satisfaction. We offer a bunch of
  services at fair prices, some of which are modern
  web design and development, website hosting and
  redesign, website support and maintenance, SEO,
  PPC and copywriting.
