We should admire foremost, that there is no "free" hosting. If a hosting provider offers free services, that means such state of affairs means is advantageous for him. By what appearance hosting provider turns to the account from placing of your website? Placing the website using such hosting services requires placing provider's banner or publicity block on your website. Such banners or reference links frequently corrupt design of the web-pages, and badly influence on the image of the company, that is placing a website, using such hosting services.

The impression can be given, that a proprietor decided to economize on placing of site. There can be suspicion: "Could we trust this company?".

Free hosting services could be used by not commercial websites a zero budget, however it is needed to choose such service with possibility of registration of the domain name on yourself, with possibility to change hosting provider.

Security

As a rule there are plenty of free websites on a server of hosting provider offering such services, placed by private individuals. Sometimes on such a websites "Ill clients" try to place different programs and scripts intended for SPAM delivery, etc. Using paid services, people will hardly risk the money, and to carry on illegal activity.

Support

As a rule, such service is fully automated and does not need support of the administrators. Actually, that kind of web hosting can do without support service. Therefore, if there will be some unforeseen situation with the website, to settle it quickly and effectively will not be a primary concern of the provider. Actually it will be much simpler him to delete the website than to reply to the customer's letters.

Performance

Plenty of different sites are using such free services. These sites mainly have a small volume and popular enough with plenty of visitors. That creates the certain loading as on a server so on the Internet channel of this server. It is not to free providers' advantage to buy and support expensive powerful servers, so their own servers work on the limit of the possibilities.

Functionality

Providers offerings "free space" as a rule limit functional possibilities of the services from considering of safety and productivity of the server. Most providers give such free package without php and mysql support.

Domain name

While ordering hosting it is necessary to register the domain name of your site on yourself, but not on your provider. As a result you will be able to change hosting provider without loosing your own domain name.
