I am trying the free hosting ,and I know it is just for fun .
Indeed, free hosting is boring when you are in trouble but there is no technical support available.

I will never vote for free web hosts. The biggest disadvantage of free web hosts is that when you sufficiently promote your sub-domain, it becomes popular and drives good traffic. At this point of time, the free hosting provider may get tempted and removes your sub domain using it to shift traffic to his own site, I have seen practically happening this.

And if your business was on free host, it is gone forever. You put efforts to promote it and free hosting provides reaps the benefits. Hope you understand what I say.

You can make a search on Google and find some cheap but reliable web hosts and your site remains safe forever.

Remember free web hosts promote their business by offering free hosting. Nobody thinks of you.

I have made this comment as I experienced what I wrote here.

Please don't waste your time and money after free host.

Hello,
Best for experiments:
Free hosts provide a good environment to experiment different webmaster techniques. You can learn and experiment many things before switching to paid hosting.

Disadvantages:

Placing Ads and Banners on your website:
Free doesn't means free at all. You have to pay something in return. Mostly free hosts put ads and banners on your websites to generate revenue. You have no control on quality of ads and placement.

Limited Features:
Free hosts cannot offer rich features. Usually they have limited features because of poor revenue model.

There are still some free web hosting companies that aims to keep their users happy with their services, usually because the owners are interested to earn traffic and good reputation while offering free hosting.

Hi every one,

I think paid hosting is more reliable as compare to Free hosting.

Paid hosting will always try and provide you with 99.99% of uptime and any quarry placed by you will be answered in minimum response time.

If uptime is a key concern you you then paid hosting is the Best

You get what you pay for does NOT apply in the hosting industry.
With the onslaught of countless resellers that have little knowledge and even less invested in their businesses there are a lot of free hosts that really do offer great deals.
We compete with the likes of Google, freeservers and others that really provide great service. Each has their own business model which may be part of a long term goal to get you to upgrade or in the case of Homestead, force a switch to paid later on.
As paid web hosts, all we can do is provide knowledgeable and prompt service to our clients and we will never have to worry about free competitors or for that matter, the time when everyone can host directly from their own pc as easy as a few clicks of the mouse.

Free hosting is a good way to test your website PHP scripts etc. Relying on it for a production site is a completely different story. Paid hosting is by far the best option for serious website owners.

With no doubt paid hosting is way better. You can be nearly certain about some standards and specifications that will be provided to you and that will bring you satisfaction from provider. Free host providers WILL NEVER be as good as paid ones. And fact is that nowadays paid hosts are not expensive aswell.
