免费网站是什么意思？ (What Do We Mean by Free Website?)

Most beginners who want to start their own website want to keep the cost low which is understandable.

大部分想建立自己的网站的初学者都希望保持较低的成本，这是可以理解的。

So you typically Google the term free website and find many companies offering free website hosting services for free.

The thought of having free web hosting and building your site without paying anything is tempting.

具有免费的虚拟主机和无需支付任何费用即可构建网站的想法很诱人。

Until you get a reality check. Once you sign up to these so-called “free website services”, you slowly start discovering the limitations and many of them turn out to be not free at all.

直到获得现实检查。一旦注册了这些所谓的“免费网站服务”，您就会慢慢发现限制，而其中许多限制根本就不是免费的。

If you or your friend is thinking about getting a free website, then stop now.

如果您或您的朋友正在考虑获得免费的网站，请立即停止。

And read these 36 reasons why free websites are almost always a bad idea.

并阅读以下36个为什么免费网站几乎总是一个坏主意的原因。

1. Extremely slow websites

1.极慢的网站

Most free website hosting providers put hundreds of websites sharing the same server. This makes all their websites load at very low speeds. Slow websites create bad user experience and are bad for SEO.

大多数免费网站托管提供商将数百个网站共享同一台服务器。这使其所有网站的加载速度都非常低。缓慢的网站会带来不良的用户体验，并且不利于SEO 。

2. Unprofessional web address

2.不专业的网址

Having a website address like mysmallbusiness.Freewebsite.com does not look professional at all. Visitors to your website and potential customers would find it quite difficult to take your website seriously when you don’t even have a proper domain name.

拥有mysmallbusiness.Freewebsite.com类的网站地址似乎并不专业。您的网站的访客和潜在客户会发现，即使您没有正确的域名，也很难认真对待您的网站。

And when you ask these companies for a custom domain, you usually have to pay a premium – something like $19 – $25 for a domain which normally costs $10.

而且，当您向这些公司要求自定义域时，通常需要为通常为10美元的域支付溢价-例如19美元-25美元。

3. Trial Service is Not Really Free

3.试用服务不是真的免费

Many of these free website services often turn out to be limited trials. After a while you are asked to pay for it. In most cases, this price is usually way higher than normal WordPress hosting services. If you added a credit card during signup, then they can charge you without giving you any warning.

这些免费网站服务中的许多服务常常被证明是有限的试用。过了一会儿，您被要求付款。在大多数情况下，此价格通常比正常的WordPress托管服务高得多。如果您在注册时添加了信用卡，那么他们可以向您收费而不会给您任何警告。

4. Hidden charges for free website

Like any other business, these free website companies need to make money too. Some of them charge their users for additional services like image hosting, email accounts, FTP access, website transfer, etc. These charges are often outrageously high.

像任何其他业务一样，这些免费的网站公司也需要赚钱。他们中的一些人向用户收取其他服务的费用，例如图像托管，电子邮件帐户，FTP访问，网站传输等。这些费用通常过高。

5. They can lock down your data

5.他们可以锁定您的数据

Many users who start with a free website and then want to move to a paid service, find it impossible to move their website data. These service providers do not offer any tools to easily migrate your site. Users end up paying freelancers to manually export their content which can quickly increase your bill.

许多用户从免费网站开始，然后想要转到付费服务，发现无法迁移其网站数据。这些服务提供商没有提供任何工具来轻松迁移您的网站。用户最终向自由职业者付费，以手动导出其内容，从而Swift增加您的账单。

6. Irrelevant advertisements on your website

Most of these free website services are supported by advertisements. You create content and build your website, but they get paid for the ads. Often these ads are distracting, intrusive, and look ugly.

这些免费的网站服务大多数都由广告支持。您创建内容并建立您的网站，但他们会从广告中获得收益。这些广告通常会分散注意力，干扰人并且看上去很丑陋。

The worst part is, sometimes your savvy competitors can then pay these free website hosting companies to advertise on your website. Talk about sabotaging your business.

9. You will lose your site address
