It depends what you want to do with your site. If you want to run a hobby then free web hosting will be good but for a commercial website then it isn't. Free things always have catch and as per free web hosting you won't be in control. There will be ads displayed on your site which you won't have any control.

The price of hosting is so low now a days. how can you not afford it in the long run.

For a serious site, especially one related to your business, I would shy away from free hosting. You're not going to get the same service level guarantees that you would receive with paid hosting.

Free web hosting is good if you are making a site just for fun and for business trial. There are features which are not available in free web hosting. I even tried once but was not happy with the service I get so switched to a paid one.

I guess free hosting would be fine for just setting up your 1st site or blog but if you have a website as a business you need reliable hosting,i have all my sites hosted with Linkhoster.net they provide ultra reliable hosting at affordable prices and the support is 1st class.These sites that provide free hosting cannot do it for free so i guess they must have some form of adverts running all over the site to help pay for the host.

If you are serious about being in business with a website that you rely on revenue always go for the best you can afford,its cheaper in the long run.

I havent had any problems with free account in freehostia.com. The custmer support works well and its reliable, however you still have to pay for domain names and when you want SMTP to be switched on and i run out from database storage as well very quickly.

In general, paid hosting is wise option in term of reliability and support. don't you think?

It depends what do you mean by paid hosting? What Im talking a a free starter package and when you need more, then you start to pay. It all depends what kind of pricing model you have... having resources just in stand by mode isnt much viable business for hosting provider as well.
