Why there is free hosting but no free offshore hosting
Imagine.
You have a fruitful business. Things are developing amazingly.
But you want more!
You want better profit growth, expansion of your business, wide publicity.
You need a powerful online presence.
Nothing unpredictable, everyone knows the next step is to create a website. Easy logic.
But where should you place your website? Is it better to locate it in your country with no money or should you choose an offshore database which is quite pricey? What’s the use of placing a website at an offshore host? Why should you pay money if you can get the same service for free?
Of course, the first side of your dilemma will be free hosting. Placing your website at a free host provider saves a lot of money, but they don’t work free for you. They use ads as a way of monetization across all over your website.
If you are a beginner or an amateur in a digital realm, free hosting might sound reasonable for you, but you have ambitious goals:
- Strong customer support
- Strong privacy
- Anonymity
- Protection from local laws
- Tax benefits
That’s where offshore hosting comes into play. It can provide you with all the qualities needed for a strong online presence, but it costs money.
You might feel curious about why there are no free offshore hosting providers on the market. Here’s the answer:
Unlike free hosting, offshore hosting providers don’t place ads on their hosted websites due to high levels of data protection. Besides, they need special facilities and maintenance of them, such as hurricane-proof buildings to set up the data corners, specific technology like Maya 1, submarine cables for data connectivity, Paid staff e.g. onsite technicians. All of these issues imply huge costs.
That’s why you can enjoy free hosting, but access to offshore hosting costs money.
