Why there is free hosting but no free offshore hosting

Why there is free hosting but no free offshore hosting.

Free hosting or a cheap one. What would you choose rather?
Both sound interesting, but, I bet you will rather take it free ...with precaution.
Why? because sooner or later - you have to make some compensation or favor.
This is a startup part of the answer to a question from the title.
Hosting a website requires space on someone's hard-drive and hardware configuration required for good data speed transfer, but more than that. It requires reliability, support, and to be user-friendly.
For free?
Yes ....if that is your close friend, friendly neighborhood or family member. But, you will expect to have the favor back on the way you like.
The same is with a free web hosting company. They will give you free space on their servers and provide maintenance, but they will cover their losses on the way they like. Usually, it's a method of placing ads over your web page design.
The second way may be a kind of marketing strategy for collecting information about your data, contacts and the data your website owns. After all, they are your " friendly neighborhood".
Okay, now what is a problem for offshore web hosting. Why the services are not free at all?
Compare with explanation with a close friend and family member.. we can say that offshore companies are neither of them.
So, you will take a direct charge. They are outside of your country and they cannot promote themselves in the same way that onshore does. Besides that, they took their clients more serious because exactly it's from the outside country and someone ready to pay.
That kind of relationship gives more secure and faster servers, bandwidth, more responsive technical support.
For every free offshore hosting - examine the quality and keep your loupe close for small letters in "terms and conditions area".
