When Free Isn’t Always Good

August 22, 2007 – 4:08 pm

A couple of weeks ago, I received the “good” news that my webhost is not taking in any more subscription. That means my hosting is FREE. My hosting reseller is a small time company set up by two internet friends and they do not have too many customers and since profit is slight, they decided to do away with the fees.

HOWEVER, that seems like bad news to me.

Since this is free hosting, that effectively means that I do longer have technical support from my webhost, except to “seek” for the assistance of good Samaritans from the forum. This is what I do not like because the problems get unaddressed and the solutions are slow in coming.

I am such a noob and have had problems understanding WordPress since the beginning that I would rather pay people to get my technical problems sorted and sorted fast too.

Free hosting is good only for people who are experienced in hosting their own blog or website and I am certainly far from experienced. I don’t know. Am I asking too much if I require help with the technical side of my hosting. I think not but since this is now free, I don’t think I could even so much as send in an S.O.S.

Free isn’t always good
