Disadvantages of Using Web Hosting For E- Commerce

Hello Renoirs...
For this week post, I will talk about the disadvantages of free web hosting for ecommerce. Before I talk about it, better I explain first, what is web hosting?

Renoirs, a web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the World Wide Web.
Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation or Housing.

There are 2 types of web hosting, first free web host, and second is paid web host. In this section, many private user prefer to use free web host to build an e-commerce . But although, it is free, it has disadvadtages too.

Disadvantages Of Free Web Hosting For E Commerce



Whenever you select a hosting package that is geared towards a specific industry, there are going to be downsides that may not appeal to many consumers. E-commerce hosting is geared towards online merchants and while there are
many features that are necessary to running an online store included with these hosting packages, there are also a lack of other features that may be necessary for other kinds of websites.
If you are not planning on running an online store with your website, an ecommerce hosting package will most likely not be a good fit.
Unless you need a shopping cart, or a secure certificate, you might be overbuying a hosting package if you select an ecommerce solution without intending to run an online store.

Ecommerce hosting packages typically cost more than average hosting plans. This is because there are normally full featured shopping carts included with these plans and they are quite expensive. When you pay for an ecommerce hosting plan, you are really paying not only for space, but for these extra features. If cost is something you are concerned about, this is certainly something that will need to be factored into your decision.
Since ecommerce plans include a lot of
features for selling online, they are typically not as feature rich in other areas, such as disk space, bandwidth allotments and extra email accounts. Many basic hosting plans offer unlimited email accounts, large amounts of disk space and higher bandwidth limits.
Most ecommerce plans limit the amount of email addresses you can have, which may not appeal to a large company that needs several different email addresses. You might actually be better of purchasing a basic hosting plan that offers an unlimited amount of email
add resses and purchasing a shopping cart solution in addition to your hosting plan.

I already give you disadvantages by using that free web hosting,so it is up to you now, to choose which one do you like. If you want to try this, I can give you 2 example of free web hosting in Indonesia. There are Dapur Hosting ( www.dapur-hosting.com) and Domain Gratis (domain-gratis.cu.cc). In order to use this service, you just need to put your address that you created and check the availability of your address. Then it is automatically send the request to the web host provider and then you can create your own web by using those free web hosting service. Every web host has their own systems,and policy, so please notice the term of use.

That's all my post on this week Renoirs. For next week, please wait till next week, due I'm too busy now. So, I can't write a post daily.
Bye Renoirs! God bless you....
