VPS hosting service can never be available for free for any user for an indefinite period of time. There are many VPS hosting service provider companies in this country, who are offering free VPS hosting service to their new potential clients, as a free trial period of the
Virtual machine. These
VPS hosting provider companies offer free VPS hosting service to the clients mainly for hosting their web sites for free of cost for a limited number of days. It may vary from three days to one year, depending on the plans and services offered by the VPS hosting provider company.
This offer of providing VPS hosting service by a VPS hosting service provider company is mainly for their marketing activities. This can also be termed as customer awareness program, conducted by the VPS hosting service provider company, to make the first time customers aware of the benefits and features of VPS hosting service and about the VPS hosting service provider companies.
But, nothing in this world is available for free of cost. These free VPS web hosting services also carry certain hidden costs for the user. The VPS service provider companies offering free VPS hosting service, do not disclose about these hidden costs to their users.
The users are charged by the VPS hosting service providers the moment the users wish to upgrade their services after some time. These free hosting services are not secured, so the users need to pay if the user needs security for her/his web site or applications. The
free hosting service use these web sites for advertisements, so the websites may be full of advertisements or pop ups, which are nuisances. There are other lacunas also with free VPS hosting services. So, it is best to pay for a quality VPS hosting service, rather than to opt for a free VPS web hosting service and be muzzled later.
