After doing some extensive research, combining the two of these is what I’m considering:
I’m currently staying in a developing country and I’m totally broke at the moment. My situation is sort of dire at the moment. I’m trying as much as possible to preserve what I have for living expenses. Thus, I’m pretty much limited to just these options.
I’m already in the process of setting up a WordPress blog with a WordPress subdomain.
Given that I’m just looking for web presence, a page with book descriptions and links to book listings, an email list, as well as something extremely simple and easy to set up (as well as some posts here and there), I’m perfectly aware that “free” typically involves intrusive ads on your site, limited storage and bandwidth compared to paid plans, little to no customer service, and even questionable reliability and uptime. (Though, WordPress and Mailchimp seem to promise/allude to not being subject to these issues as much in their free plans, and they also seem to come off as more trustworthy than other free hosts)
But other than that, in this particular case, are there any monkey’s paw situations that I might not be aware of? Any potential issues they’re not advertising/broadcasting?
Any other free and simple/easy-to-set-up alternatives that I’m not aware of?
Also, I don’t really plan on sticking with these options past one year. As soon as my situation is settled, I plan on upgrading to paid services as soon as possible.
