When you are seeking free web hosting in Malaysia, you might ask yourself "Is Malaysia free web hosting just as good as paid for hosting?" This is a great question that thousands of people ask themselves every single day. As far as the site being live and accessible on the internet, yes it is very similar. Although there are not thousands of web hosting companies to choose from in Malaysia, there are many different plans, options, features and pricing plans out there that vary greatly from each other, within Malaysia alone.

 

With both paid and free web hosting your website would be accessible to anyone with an internet connection. The fact that you are not paying for it does not mean that your site will not show up or that it will be poorly hosted. But of course you must remember, nobody is going to pay for a server to be constantly running so that you can host your site for free with them, just as a courtesy to you; they will obviously be getting something out of it. If they weren't then they wouldn't be a business, they would be a charity.

 

When you get Malaysia free web hosting, you will most likely have to allow the hosting company to display ads on your site that they will earn money from when people click on them. Basically every company that offers Malaysia free web hosting will have it set up this way. You can have your website up and running and displaying all the content you need, only there would be a few spot ads on the site in an area that you may or may not be able to choose -- depending on the Malaysia free web hosting company that you go with.

 

As far as hosting goes, free web hosting Malaysia most of the time is just as good as paid hosting. The only problems with Malaysia free web hosting is that ads show up on your website which might conflict with the beliefs or statements on your site, or even be ads from competitors of your business. Also, the bandwidth and memory space you are given with free web hosting Malaysia is no where near the amount you would need to run a serious website. Especially one that was primarily for business or making money.

 

A web hosting company called Connect.com.my offers a Malaysia free web hosting service to certain charity organizations that are registered in Malaysia. The free web hosting account comes with up to thirty email accounts, detailed web stats reports, PhP, MySQL and Perl support, a cPanel and 100MB of disk space. This is just one example of one of many Malaysia free web hosting services available.

 

If you are going to have only a simple website with mainly text and maybe a few pictures, then a Malaysia free web hosting plan would work just fine. If you are running a business or more complex site -- Malaysia free web hosting is most likely not the answer.
