    Sure, that just depends on how much your site is down. The less you pay, normally the less they care, the less they will try to keep your box up. I've paid minimal costs and I got minimal service, so my site was actually down quite often. I started paying more and they started caring more and now my site is never down.

    Normally no, there won't be a difference, only in that how much your site is actually up in order to receive the traffic.

    Free hosts are not good at all.

    I use site5 as well (reseller package), one of the better companies I've been hosted by.

    I totally disagree with the statement free/cheap hosting = less traffic. The studio I work for has their site hosted by Verio, one of the premier web hosting companies nationwide, and they receive about 1/10 the traffic one of my site5 sites receives.

    Maybe you guys mean cheap/free hosting = less UPTIME. Although there would be exceptions to that as well...
