Free web hosting or paid web hosting?
Whether to choose a paid web hosting service or to go for a free service entirely depends on your budget. Also it depends on the type of site or services that you intend to offer. For example if you intend to have a small website or a blog with a limited number of pages and images then free hosting may be perfect for you.
But if you are going to offer additional features and services to your customers or site visitors, then a paid hosting service may be better suited to your purpose.
Free hosting often has some limitations such as the number of email accounts which is usually restricted to 2. Also they don't provide data base support and you cannot vouch by the server uptime.
On the other hand you can always find a paid web hosting service that offers competitive rates yet has all the additional features that you may not find with a free host. Most web hosts offer various packages each one with its own price. So choose one that best suits your requirements and make sure that you know exactly what you will be getting in return for your money.
