Problems With Free Web Hosting Packages
You have to give respect to the direct, honest, open attitude of the no-nonsense attitude. As I have described before when discussing free web hosting, free web design, free anything online, you have to hand it to the one who refuses to be taken. In other words, the person or company online who offers a product, service, or information and admits the contingencies—up front—will be the one getting the vote. Same goes for offers of free web hosting, free web hosting, free web anything. It can be a component of free web hosting that is truly free, and then you will be charged monthly fees, for instance, but say so from the start. Free web hosting that has hidden fees…might be your undoing...or unraveling. You do a keyword search for “free web hosting advice”, you get a bunch of listings for free web tools, you get sucked into the alluring promise—which only asks for your email, name, address, social security number, and wife’s first husband’s name—and you get a bill. Or you get spammed, cross-linked, de-railed, hijacked, manipulated, conned. But lest you think I have joined a particular group of free web hosting keyword tricksters, getting you to click on the search engine results for “free web hosting” to get you to arrive at a fraudulent page worth nothing—when in fact I am not offering anything free..except complaints—I digress. Just know that you can avoid such scams, can combat them, and can be protected in case you get ensnared in one: - You have rights. As a consumer, a web user, or a business owner. If you get a bill from a company you have never done business with or a company who had originally offered free stuff but is now billing you—listing hidden costs/fees—refuse to pay. Tell them the law considers what they have done as a gift. You are not required to pay for any service or product sent you that you did not order. - Carefully read your phone and credit card bill statements.
