Why don't you offer "free" web hosting?
DBICWebhosting.com is a business, it costs money to run and operate
a business. However, DBICWebhosting.com offers more features for
less money then most of the major competitors. This is achieved
by eliminating phone support and use a very well known system of
support pages and support E-mail, this way, DBICWebhosting.com eliminates
high overhead on extra staff needed and forwards these savings to
the customers.
Web hosting companies that offer "free" or very "cheap"
web hosting most likely belong to one of three categories.
1. It is a large corporation with "big" investors
behind them, they offer "free" web hosting at a loss for
a period of time to get a huge amount of customers. In their business
plan, they already incorporated a way to make money of these customers
at some later time.
2. It is an individual who has one or several servers in
his/her home or office connected to a DSL or Cable line. There is
not much to say about this.
3. They are here today and gone tomorrow.
Keep in mind:
You get what you pay for.
How important is your data on the web for you?
Compare "apples to apples" (space, features and very important
- bandwidth).
