Speed of a free web host
The number one reason for visitors to leave a webpage is because of is long loading time. It takes only a fraction of a second to click a the back button and try a new search result out of the thousands returned. What about the speed of free web hosting. Well, you can’t just talk about the speed of a webpage,because it realies on different factors. The connection to server, the size of the webpage. While the connection to the server is an important one, it is also the one you can do the least about. When choosing a free web hosting, you must also look at its loading times. The best way to get a fast-loading host, is to choose one that is located near the geograpical area, which your visitors will come from. For example if you have a dutch webppage, try to have a hosting located in the Netherlands and not in Canada.
Small web hosting companies also tend to have faster connections, because the server load is less. However, when a small company grows, there are often problems with the connection speed and even downtime. This is because they are not experienced with high loads. Larger companies often employ load balancing and have several clusters of servers with thousand of accounts. These tend to be a bit slower due the load balancing, proxying and local routing issues. The advantage is that the speed will be more reliable and you will experience much less downtime.
The free profesional hosting company I use has almost no downtime and is considerably fast. Please consider 000WebHost. They have excellent support and I am very content with them!
