    Free hosting is vulnerable to blacklisted IP coz people use it for link farm thus it will decrease your SERP ranking.

    i would say shared hosting is so cheap free hosting makes no sense you can have 20 some sites on a shared hosting plan for less than $10/mo

    Personally I would keep away from free hosting. For small sites, cheap shared hosting tends to be the best solution.

    Along the lines of the other posts... All the free hosting out there is really not dependable. Companies basically put that on there to get people in the door and provide less features so people upgrade. Along with that they don't manage the server correctly so you get connectivity issues and bad "joo joo" happen to the sites. I haven't found a very reliable free host in many years. Just get a cheap shared hosting plan.

    It really depends, if your site is producing some sorta business then go for some decent hosting package, or if you have just start up the show, then you can go ahead with cheap hosting service with as well.

    Go for paid hosting. Free web hosts are unreliable and they may put ads on your site. However, from the point of Google, I think there is no difference in the SERP of free or paid hosting hosted sites.

    besides shared hosting can be found for a few dollars a month i would advise staying away from the few dollars a year hosting companies as well as they are most likley more towards the free hosting side and wont be giving you quality market grade support and services.

    I believe that you should choose the host that suits your needs and provides constant and uninterrupted services and support (not free host).

    Go for paid hosting. It's not that hard to pay 5$ a month
