    For me I wouldnt use free hosting because:

    1. I would be worried about reliability of the uptime.

    2. I would be worried about the company going bust, or being sold.

    3. Its free so there has to be ads.

    4. Shared Hostng is cheap and tax deductable in my country.

    Free web hosting just freaks a lot of people out. The fact that anyone can register and set up an account usually means that your bandwidth could be shot and quite unsteady. It is always better just to shell out a few bucks per month to get guaranteed service and peace of mind :)

    I use free hosting. But the host i use, KwiX-Host is reliable and has been around for a little over 1 year. I haven't had any problems with them. I will not use a host that doesn't spell things properly however, and no host that has a $1 verification thing is NEVER free. You still have to fork up $1. Therefore it'd be $1 host.

    Well there are some people here who use blogspot, or free hosting but a majority of the posters here are running real internet businesses. For example I have almost $100/month in hosting bills myself. A free hosting is more the hobbiests your targetting the wrong the demography here. Lastly your site is very unproffesional, for example your privacy policy is 404.

    Many free web hosting services have banner ads on every web page, this is a huge turn off.

    Free web hosts are usually slow or unreliable. They tend to go dead in a month =[

    The web hosting market is filled with providers of all kinds. People honestly want to make a good choice even if it costs some money. Free hosting means poor quality and no support. On the back of your mind you always have the same quiestion. How do those guys make money offering "free" servises.

    Although I am a strong believer that free web hosting is not the way to go it is
    possible to find a free web host . There are some out there that do
    not force advertising, do not limit your bandwidth, and will allow pointed domains.
    The problem is finding one that does all three. If you are a serious, or even only
    slightly serious, webmaster take the hit and pay the money for web hosting. In the end
    you can get an awesome web hosting plan for as low as $5.95 a month, and trust me this
    will be WELL worth the money.

    Me and my partner are running a free web hosting service and after 1 week we welcomed our 1000th member already!

    It is all about marketing and getting the word out!
