But I am still in confusion........I want to know ...What are the major benefits of taking paid hosting ?

Please share your opinions

Are you wanting to start a real business? If so, go paid hosting. If you just want to pursue a hobby, you can go free or paid.

Paid gives you control of your site.

Free = YOU are the product to the free host. They control your site, you do not. etc.

Free hosting service: You will be limited on hosting features and be inserted ad into your websites.
Paid hosting service: You get what you pay for.

Going with paid hosting, you will get the good customer support and good performance server. Most importantly, you have a full control on your server.

Paid hosting provides full technical support to you and also provides required backups. These are the major demands you will get from paid hosting.

Free Hosting is usually just a way to try to sell you a Paid Hosting Service, they will offer a "premium" option first, after that your account will be limited and finally they will simple close your account.
None will really provide a good free hosting service... as least not for a long time.

I obviously not talking about really serious companies like wordpress.com and Google's Blogspot, that accepts custom domains and have some limitations.

When you are using the Paid hosting services they will provide a full technical support to you and the most important thing is you have a full control for your own server.

There are innumerable benefits of using paid hosting. Free things attract us mostly but provide lower benefits. If you want full control over your website, paid hosting is the must. To get real support and security there is no alternative to choose a paid one.

Paid hosting works better than the free web hosting. Free web hosting gives you limited resources with the poor server and has lots of security issues. Paid hosting gives you data safety and backup and quality hosting resources.

Taking paid hosting services is always beneficial, as you can ask for technical support at any time, or you can go unlimited resource hosting, or there will be no security issues with the website.

I think it is better to choose a paid hosting, usually it offers much better service than a free one.

When you have newly designed a website for your Business and want to turn your offline business to online through Hosting the website, you might go with Free Web Hosting due to budget constraints.

Free Web Hosting has both merits and demerits that might make your business growth deplete.

The one and only advantage of using Free Web Hosting is that it is completely free of cost. You can get your website hosted for free, with free space on server and free sub – domain name. Every web host retain different policy of free web hosting service.

Free Web Hosting is suitable to host single page website and not websites with commercial purpose.

Now let us know what are the demerits of Free Web Hosting are
Domain Name
With Free Web Hosting you get to have only sub-domain and no main domain. Web host will add your website as a sub-domain upon their domain name, like yourwebsite.webhostdomain. To have an own domain then you must pay to the web host.

Support by Web Host
There is lack of customer support by the host if you are a free web hosting service client. If any issues related to your hosting account, your website facing downtime or any issue related to hosting service then you must have to pay to get support by the host.

Limited Server Resources
If your website needs more server resources than the assigned resources like bandwidth, then you cannot fulfil those resources with free web hosting service. You will have to pay to get extra server resources.

Absence of Promotions
Opting Free Web Hosting service for hosting e-commerce websites is of no use, because being a website owner you are restricted to position any kind of ads on your website due to the limitations of free web hosting service.

Hence enfold these major restraints of Free Web Hosting by picking up the most affordable yet very useful Web Hosting service viz. Shared Hosting.

Shared Hosting, the most cost-effective web hosting service, is the best solution for all the website owners desiring to host their websites however have low budget constraints. Shared hosting service is most preferred by Freelancer webmasters, bloggers and attracts small businesses, portfolios and websites with less traffic.

The websites hosted on the shared server shares server resources like bandwidth, space, FTP accounts, email accounts and database. This sharing of server resources makes shared hosting very affordable and powerful than free web hosting service. The limitations of free web hosting is plastered by Shared Hosting because with this hosting service you can register new domain for your website, can gain interminable support by web host and possess the opportunity to upgrade the resources whenever required.

You can customize to your heart’s content. Free WP limits you significantly.

[MovelikeJackson]

Agree with everything. Usually free hosting doesn't provide any support and they are not responsible for the uptime, so it's better to go with paid one. Also, if you are expecting higher traffic, you should select paid.

[Exa-Kent]

Just one conclusion, you will get what you paid. Don't go for free or cheap stuff if you need a good performance with the shared hosting. It's true.

[hostnetindia]

Paid web hosting always best for your website. You get everything what you want to run your website.
Technical support and managed services are essential to run a website.
Uniqueness, Reliability, Bandwidth and Storage, Support and Assistance.

I will not suggest you host your business website with a free hosting provider. Because it is not necessary that the free hosting provider will support you at the time of urgency. Since you are getting the services with no cost, you can't even tell them that the issues should be fixed within a particular time limit. Instead, you can request them to do the needful. There will not be any guarantee for the response time.
