In running "Baby's Spiritual Food House" and guiding brothers and sisters in setting up websites, one of the most frequently asked questions is:"Meiling, why pay for hosting? Why not just use free platforms like Wix, Weebly, or PIXNET?"

I completely understand this idea. After all, every penny spent on evangelistic ministry is a resource given by God, so of course we need to be careful with our money. When I first started using the internet, I also thought, "Save money wherever possible," and free things were best. But after years of practical experience, I want to honestly tell everyone something:In the online world, what's free is often the most expensive.

If you genuinely want to maintain a gospel website, church website, or personal testimony blog long-term, here are my final choices. Hostinger (WordPress) Here are 3 key reasons to leave free platforms.

We should offer our best to God, and the "reading experience" on the website is also a form of worship.

Reason 1: Can you tolerate a gambling ad popping up next to a serious spiritual article?

This is the biggest cost of free platforms.Advertising interferenceImagine this scenario: a seeker is reading your moving testimony or watching a church sermon video, deeply touched… Suddenly, a huge advertisement for "online gaming" or "adult dating" pops up on the screen, obscuring the text. That moment of inspiration could very well be interrupted by this intrusion.

• Free platform: Because you don't pay, they have to profit from advertising. You can't control the content of the ads, nor can you turn them off.
• Hostinger (WordPress): You are the owner of this website. The layout is clean and uncluttered, with no intrusive advertising. Readers can quietly and attentively read God's word.

We should offer our best to God, and the "reading experience" on the website is also a form of worship.

Reason two: In the long run, free platforms are actually more "money-burning".

Many free platforms (like Wix) claim to be free, but they are actually "trial versions." When you want to have your own website (e.g., church.com Instead wix.com/churchIf you want to remove the annoying ads mentioned above, you will have to pay for an upgrade.

Let's do the math:

Comparison items	Free website building platform (upgraded version)	Hostinger (self-hosted WordPress)
Remove Ads	Upgrades must be paid for.	It's ad-free (free to use).
Custom URL	Upgrades must be paid for.	The plan includes a year's supply.
Average monthly fee	Approximately NT$300 ~ NT$500 for 1 TP 4T	**Approximately NT$100 for 48 months (TP4T)**
Expanding functionality	Many cheat programs require additional payment.	Most WordPress plugins are free.

The conclusion is quite surprising: If you're serious about running a business, choosing a paid hosting service like Hostinger will actually be more cost-effective than those "so-called free" platforms in the long run.Saved 3 to 5 times the costThis represents a more faithful stewardship of the church's or individual's budget.

Reason three: It's built on rock, not sand (ownership issue).

The Bible says that a house should be built on the rock. On the internet, **"data ownership"** is your foundation.

• Living under someone else's roof (free platform/social media): Your account, articles, and followers all belong to the platform. If one day the platform changes its algorithm or closes your account without warning (remember the tragedy of Wretch or Yahoo Blog shutting down?), your years of hard work could be wiped out overnight.
• Owning your own home (Hostinger): You own the website 100%. You can back up your data anytime and move it wherever you want. This is true "building an online empire".
