Hello, I currently utilize free hosting to experiment with creating various websites. I am considering purchasing hosting soon, but in the meantime, I would like to host my website (for my portfolio and to generate leads through articles) on Pantheon's free hosting. I am interested in receiving views through the free hosting until I am able to purchase my own.
It’s possible to rank on Google Search Engine with free hosting and a domain name, but it’s not ideal and presents certain limitations. Free hosting often comes with performance constraints like limited bandwidth, storage space, and slower loading times. These factors can negatively impact your website’s SEO performance. Search engines prioritize websites that load quickly and provide a good user experience. Slow loading times due to limited resources can hurt your rankings. Additionally, free hosting often comes with ads, which can detract from your website’s professionalism and negatively impact user experience.
While you can use free hosting as a temporary solution, investing in paid hosting is crucial for long-term success in attracting more traffic and improving your search engine ranking. Paid hosting offers greater flexibility, performance, security, and control, leading to better user experience and higher ranking potential.
