Costs and quality of Web hosting services vary widely on the Internet. Prices are based on server space, number of domains, and data transfer size. There are free Web hosting services that offer a small amount of server space in return for placement of banner ads. Two major factors to be aware of when considering a host are the actual cost of the service and the actual downtimes incurred. Usually fees are quoted at a monthly rate, but a client is required to pay one or two years fees in advance.
