Many "free website" offers are time limited, so you may get 30 days as a free trial. Be wary of companies offering 30 days free and then asking a high monthly payment for web hosting. Cheap web hosting is available from reputable companies, the web space and bandwidth is generally lower on budget web hosting, but should be sufficient for a new website, and can usually be upgraded if website traffic increases significantly. There are some genuine offers for free websites, which have a few limitations in use, but none the less are very worthwhile following up, especially if you want to evaluate something new before investing your hard earned cash. The key points on free websites are:
1. Offers may be time limited, so are only free for say 30 days.
2. You can get a sub domain hosted for free for an unlimited period.
3. Your web host will probably display adverts on your free website.
4. Free websites can have good easy to use software to get your site online very quickly.
5. You may have to pay for certain features such as web statistics.
6. You may not be able to use html on a free website.
7. Some business/advertising directories do not allow free hosted websites.
8. Free websites are excellent for beginners and build confidence with webmaster skills.
