You may be tempted to settle for a free web hosting option.\u202fAfter all, why pay for web hosting when you can get it for free, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The thing about web hosting is that using the right service will depend on your customised goals and priorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For instance, are you trying to stand out from the competition?

Shockingly, some free paid hosting platforms may even integrate malicious malware into the system to extract confidential data and share it with others in exchange for revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Protecting your ecommerce website from cyber threats should be your top priority because you\u2019re not only putting your business at risk but your customers\u2019 confidential details as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazydomains.com.au\/web-hosting\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=CD_Contenthub&amp;utm_campaign=not-settle-with-free-web-hosting&amp;utm_content=banner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-48340 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crazydomains.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Linux-Banner.png\" alt=\"Linux hosting banner\" width=\"728\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crazydomains.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Linux-Banner.png 728w, https:\/\/www.crazydomains.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Linux-Banner-300x101.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Does Not Support Mobile-Responsiveness<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Unknown to many users, free web hosting platforms offer a host of themes and templates that may be complex for mobile phones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For instance, the images may not load properly. The user may need to zoom into the text to view the content which is a huge put-off driving potential customers away.

Most free hosting platforms require you to include the hosting server&#8217;s banner and the host&#8217;s name\u202fin your brand&#8217;s URL; think something like &#8216;mywebsite.freesite.com&#8217;.

That\u2019s because your website will use shared hosting and have to share the bandwidth with other users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Maintaining site speed is the key to boosting your conversion rate.

Apart from that, you could be facing frequent downtimes and slow site speed. Google looks at these factors and takes them into account on where to put you on rankings.
