Google offers free Web Hosting and Domain for One year in India

free web Hosting Someone recently from India asked me to suggest any sites, which offers free web hosting and domain. However, you might find few sites, which do allow free hosting but such unknown sites are always associated with privacy risk and risk of data on the server. There are few blog sites, which do offer such web hosting but such sites are mostly Sub-domain sites like www.yoursitename.subdoamin.com, which is most certainly not a good idea, since it’s not a professional way to showcase your business. However, recently it has come to my notice(thanks to one of my friend), In case you reside in India then you might be glad to hear this that, Google is offering free web hosting space and domain for free for one Year under a program called India Get Your Business Online.

Google India on November 02, 2011 announced its Free Web hosting called “India Get Your Business Online.” The aim behind this is to support small and medium enterprises and business to go online. Due to lack of knowledge and money, most SMBs restrict themselves from making their presence online. Many SMBs invest their money in marketing consultancy for marketing their business however they are forgetting the most important part of business is to make it online available. Google India understands this problem and has come out with India Get Your Business Online Program.

After completing One Year, you can keep continuing to host the site on HostGator by paying to HostGator. In any point of time, you can discontinue or move on to another web hosting site. I recommend all SMBs to try this out to grow your business online.
