What Is Website Hosting

A Web Hosting Company provides services that allows your website to be hosted on the internet. Some of these hosting companies allow you to add a free domain name  (www.) into your monthly hosting plan. These Websites are hosted, or stored, on special computers called servers.

Are There Free Website Hosting Companies

Yes. There are companies that allow you to host on their servers but this is not recommended if you are serious about your music. What some companies will give you is a subdomain. For example: yourname.wix.com. But the issue is some free hosting sites want to own your content.
 

Some of these companies have the right to prevent you from logging into your account if they don’t agree with the content you post, regardless if it’s only music. Other free hosting sites take your information and sell it.

 
I’ve heard many horrible stories. And lastly, do you see any professional independent or major label artists using free hosting to host their music website? I think not. It’s just unprofessional. So stick with the reputable paid hosting company.
