I didn’t know that about email and web server on same server, thanks
Hi,
I would recommend ——– because it’s very cheap and reliable.Their support service is awesome.Don’t go for free web hosting.They are not reliable. Check it out here:
The fact, in WWW emails carry more infections than any other physical and logical medium. It is very much possible to create client side scripts using hidden texts in email. Having a different email and web hosting server helps a lot.
Going for free hosting is not the best idea. I believe There is Nothing called free lunch.
This is not the place to say your recommendation
