Most companies hope that people upgrade to paid hosting. It sounds like a good idea but I'm not sure what the percentage of people who upgrade actually is.

If you are in the business I would recommend you visiting freewebspace forums and do the search for that, perhaps that was discussed alreday there and you might have few ideas for your own business

Limited support and resources means that many clients upgrade to paid hosting services. In addition, ad revenue helps to offset the cost of hosting a website for free.

Once you have the resources, free shared hosting accounts aren't really that expensive to maintain. Assuming that you have a revenue stream from paid accounts, the free accounts are more or less a way to get new clients in (and later to pay).

We offer free hosting, and some packages don't have any ads at all. Our source of income is the paid packages. We encourage people to use our freehosting, and upgrade when they feel the time is right. These free hosted sites often bring in other visitors, or potential new clients who would need more than what's offered with the free hosting packages.

I feel that ads only annoy both the visitor, and the owner, rarely do they make a profitable return unless outsourced. So, instead, we focus on impressing our free hosting clients and pushing them to upgrade when possible.

Most of free hosting providers get paid from online ads, some of them from upgraded paid customers.

Also, with free hosting, you will not be able to get *any* revenue generating scripts and even some non-revenue generating scripts working. I have put that theory to the test...I don't know if that will ever change, especially in these times where web hosting providers are in need for money. It sure seems to me that free hosting will be nothing better than a myspace page. You are better off just going to myspace or a blog site where it's all free from the get go, unless your willing to pay for the premium package...The space these free hosts give is nothing if you can't get certain scripts to either install or run for that matter.

My 2¢ - Create a blog or use myspace or whatever. Don't waste your time with "Free-Hosting" Either go with paid - premium hosting or nothing at all as far as hosting is concerned. It's a standard among ALL web hosts.

Cheap website hosting is beneficial to launch your business online. There are several web hosting services that will permit you to put your website on one of their servers for a monthly or yearly fee depending on your choice.

The only way you can earn is through advertisements. However, you will definitely need to convince your advertisers as to why they should advertise with you.

If any individual / company would like to advertise on any website, he will definitely check the traffic status of the website and benefit to his own.

This definitely means the webmaster of the website needs to work smart and generate some good traffic ranks through various ways.
