December 8th, 2010 Comments off

One of the most frequently asked question from webmasters is ‘Is it fair to buy a domain name and using the registrar’s services of web redirecting towards their original domain held by their own website. Though these redirection services are provided most of the time at free cost by there are some issues with the usage of URL redirection services. To misdirect webmasters registrar claims they the website’s URL will be cloaked, even stealth URL is one more similar concept to cloaking URL.

Many times webmasters willing to use these type of services because of setting up a website at a free web hosting and not as a paid shared hosting services provider accounts which generally does not come with domain name hosting. This causes for inability of a hosting provider to point the url to webmasters website. This inability is one of the biggest drawback of free web hosting type.

The feature of cloaking redirection is provided by registrars by building duplicate web pages, which are also called as ‘frames’. Frames are the empty pages which only have title of a website and meta tag information which is to be given by webmasters and thus it loads the real webpage of your website. Though many webmaster will think that whats wrong with this but users who have bookmarked the pages will not be able to view the same pages when they will try to load the bookmarks made in the past time. This will lead to impress badly to the continuous visitors of that particular website.

The biggest disadvantage of this is from SEO point of view because though there are many backlinks exists to your real pages, these links will redirect SEO bots and real visitors towards duplicate page created by registrar as an empty page and you will loose all you efforts taken on link building.

The first major risk is that the web host might be overselling the server space which would surely make an impact on the performance of one’s website. A website hosted on such servers would either run slow or may face unlimited downtime. Web hosts place several websites on a single physical server. Hence, the resources of a single server are shared by all the accounts on that server. Incase, any of the users hosted on the server indulge themselves into spamming, the search engines might block the IP of that server hence impacting other website’s hosted on it too. Mostly, such servers are highly unstable and unreliable. Such services though marketed as Free are not actually Free. You do not have control over your site, webhosts may charge others for placing their ads onto your website.
Another common problem with Free web hosts is, they do not offer the same level of technical support, hence you may find you to be placed in a long queue of pending issues.

It is always recommended that instead of searching for a Free web hosting provider one should try and search for Cheap Web Hosting. Professional and reputed web hosting providers offer cheap web hosting solutions. With it they place limited number of websites on a physical server. Usually, there is no overselling done by them.
