Why pay for web space when you can get free web hosting?

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Nor is there truly free web hosting. If you're considering free web hosting, ask yourself what's in it for the provider.

What is domain hosting?

Your domain name, or web address, is your unique address on the internet. Whenever you visit a website or send an email, you're using someone else's domain name, for example: www.your-friend.co.uk or your-friend@your-friend.co.uk. You can find out more about domain names in our domain registration section.

Once you've chosen your domain name, you'll need domain hosting to put your own website on the internet and to use your domain name for personalised email. Domain hosting companies, like Fasthosts, give you space on their permanantly internet-connected computers to put your website and email addresses online. Don't worry, domain hosting is affordable, with Fasthosts' prices starting at just £3.99.

Domain hosting for your website

Domain hosting for your website, or web hosting, lets you make your website available to everyone on the internet. There are one or two things to remember, when choosing domain hosting for your website:

• free web hosting deals may not really be free
• does your web host provide an easy website creation tool?
• does your web host charge extra if lots of people visit your website?
• can you phone your web host for helps 24 hours a day?

Domain hosting for email

Domain hosting for email, or email hosting, may come bundled with domain hosting for your website. Some domain hosts offer standalone email hosting, meaning you can still get personalised email, even if you don't need a website.

Choose professional email hosting to get:

• your own personalised email addresses - you@your-company.com
• professional web mail and mobile access to your email
• shared calendars and task management with colleagues or family.
