Once your website has been built it needs a place to live. Netwise have their own web servers securely housed in state-of-the-art datacentres. These are connected to the internet with multiple points of connection, yet are secure and have uninterruptible power, meaning that your web site will constantly be available for your customers. This is also where your email arrives before you collect it.
A quick look around the internet will reveal a multitude of companies offering hosting, and a huge range of costs and options. With the economy the way it is right now, new entrepreneurs are looking for ways to save money in their startup costs. Everyone seems to be looking for free web hosting but they really don't understand the cost to their business by doing this.
How do you suppose a company that offers free web hosting makes any money to run their operation? Free web hosting companies need to make money somehow. They do this by inserting advertising into your page. You have no control over what advertising is shown. What if a competitor's ad is shown or an advert inappropriate for your target audience is shown?
When you use free web hosting, your URL (the web link for your website) may look something like: http://website-pages.freewebs.com/ In the example freewebs.com is the company providing the free hosting and doesn't give the appearance that you are serious about your business. Search engines also ignore many of these companies so your website will never be found by potential customers.
