Free website hosting comes with a catch: your web hosting service will put advertisement banners on your website pages.  This will make your business look unprofessional.  Anyone looking for business web hosting can find an affordable alternative to free hosting.  A business web hosting package that covers just the basics: small scale file hosting with an FTP account, can be had for just a few dollars per month.

If you have a simple website, incorporating just html pages and it doesn’t need to do anything but show the public information about your store, then you can get away with a very cheap business web hosting package.  All you need is for your web hosting service to provide you with space on their server, connectivity to the Internet, and the ability to upload your files to  your account, usually via ftp, or file transfer protocol services.

In the past, many web hosting providers charged by the page, but that should be a thing of the past.  You should not go with any provider that tries to charge you this way.  These days, when many business web hosting clients sell their products online, there can be lots of pages on one site.  It shouldn’t cost you more money with more pages.  Look for the term unlimited disk space when you’re shopping around.
