Advices

It is very important to offer a good user experience and keep improving the user interface continously.

Why? Simple - the members will not change the free hosting services you offer for another free web host. They will recommend you and you will get more human users and not just tons of automaticly created users by bots.

Strive to add more value to your control panel and spice it up with free eduational articles, web development tools, freebies, etc. Try to educate your members in the webmastering field. Make your control panel stand out.

And bellow are a few screenshots with what we’ve created lately:

Most of the webmasters in the free web hosting field focus all their efforts on developing only one free web host site, others have several sites but keep them apart without implementing the same style on all of them.

Here is a example of how two web hosting servers from the same network can be different and at the same time have the same “feel”, which it a good thing for the user, because the members that got used to one interface, easily switch on another.

We are talking about d0m.us and c0n.us free host websites, that we’ve redesigned these days. Check them out and convince yourself that they are different in terms of color and design, but not in terms of usability and layout. And that inspires trust to the members that had the chance to use both sites, which on long term gives a competitive advantage.

Choosing a domain name for your free hosting site is quite tricky, because you think first to buy a domain that is composed from keywords, such as getyourfreehostingnow.com. Or, the second option would be just choosing something simple and easy to remember.

Well, this is really an interesting decision to make. Why? Because you might think that you’ll have priority on search engines with a search engine friendly domain name.

Who knows - maybe. But the truth is that the majority of visits comes from sites such as free webhosts directory and other freebie sites in this business. And there are several cases when free web hosts do not even survive for a couple of months.

Better for the user and maybe for you as a owner of a free hosting service provider, is to choose a small and brandable domain name. And in this case your site will be easy to remember and its members won’t have to write user.andadomainthatdoesntendcauseithastonsofkeywords.com domain name types when sharing their website with their friends or family.

So, in our opinion a good domain name choice has several points to take into account:

1. Shortness - how short the domain name is and here every symbol matters. A 4 or 5 letter domain name would be great.
2. How catchy it is and it sounds
3. To be easy to remember - how easy your free hosting website name can be remembered. If users should redo a google search in order to find you again, then this is not a good sign for you, as your domain name is not memorable.
4. Simple and maybe even fun to pronounce (if you are really thinking to survive a lot on the market).

And after choosing your great domain - time to get a great unique, custom and professional design in order to have your free web host branded and ready to satisfy its members. Plus it’s time to settle for efficient dedicated hosting if you have a new domain.
