Chapter 2:

Research Amount Of Webspace

 

Synopsis

Although most would not advocate using the free web space there are some advantages that are worth exploring in this area. The main reason for not taking this particular tool seriously is the fact that it does not allow profit making business opportunities to be listed. It mainly caters to postings that involve nonprofit platforms. However the web space can still be used for attracting traffic to the primary site.

The free webspace usually comes with tools that are needed to facilitate the quick and easy wetting up of a page. The tools given also help to make the eventual end design look more professional and attention grabbing.

These may include design options, layout options, page counters, guest books and a few other complimenting features. Although the space offered is quite limited, it adequately caters to the creation of a simple page that can showcase one or more products or elements about the business endeavor or simply offer a set of listing for further information.

This will effectively allow the individual to gain more traffic to the site thus helping indirectly to encourage the same said traffic to venture further to the actual main site. Being included in the host’s directory of sites will also help to further the prospect of garnering more traffic as the host will usually ensure the traffic is drive to the featured sites.

The following are steps to use to find free web space:

  • Use the search engine to find a reputable web host that offers free webspace.
  • Researching what is available and choosing the one that most suits the needs of the individual should be next. This space usually is within the range of 10 megabytes to 5 gigabytes.
  • Signup with the chosen webhost using an active email address, and the username and password will be sent through the inbox after the initial signup exercise is finished.
  • Log in and start featuring the intended material designed for the site.
