Do you give a chance to free web hosts?
Why?
In which cases?

Most probably newbies who want to explore and study the world of hosting. More importantly those who have less important sites like hobby sites IMO. And last but not least those who does not like to spend some bucks in their hosting childhood.

I started out on free hosting, then I became a web host for years, I understand not everyone has money to shell out for hosting, so it is nice to give back to those who need quality hosting for little or nothing..

I refer people to free web hosting when they have no idea what hosting is. Practice is the key for knowledge.

I have read an interesting article on the freewebspace (High price of free hosting) and I have to say that in this way better consider free web hosting as something for tests and non serious web sites

The only thing I use for free web hosting sites is for testing designed sites that really don't need features more than a basic host would produce. Other than that, free web hosts are not a good place to use for designs where you are charging the service of designing, unless the client doesn't care about being taken seriously.......in my opinion.

Good for people very new to hosting websites / personal pages etc.
Such as teens and the use of freewebs.com for example.
Or anyone of any age for that matter i remember years ago i utilised freewebs to make a very basic make money guide just google for "Ideal-Infos"
Over all very novice but still useful none-the-less and more than adequate for enough people.

Free hosting is for newbies that are exploring the world of hosting. As soon as you get what it is and how it works free hosting stops being satisfactory

In any case that is not about all free web hosting providers. Some of them are here to saty but at the same time they do not offer something huge.

I've use Netfirms' free hosting back a number of years ago. I had a pure HTML site, and it worked perfectly. It was a crude offer features wise, but it fit my needs at the time.

I used free hosting providers which provide limited space & bandwidth, to host my small site. As I had problems with their uptime so I decided to shift to paid hosting. So I transferred my all domains to <a paid host>. They have good technical support and affordable plans.Till now I am very much satisfied with their uptime.

Free hosting is for those who just want to test the world wide web, and start small projects. After the newbie gets some experience under their belt, they move to a paid host for security, and more room for their projects or sites. Free hosts server the same puporse as a paid host. To serve the needs of those on the web. :P

Different kind of website require different kind of hosting. If anybody says that one or two hosts are the best in the world, don't believe them. If you are having problem choosing a web hosting to use, I suggest you do the following:

1. Go to the webhost review sites such as webhostingjury, hostingsthatuck.com or webhostinggeeks and list down about 3 to 5 common top hosting companies.

2. Next, for each web hosting X, do a “X sucks” search on Google. Read some complaints and see if you may encounter the same problems like them. Some of the complaints may relate to certain groups of users only such as VPS, dedicated server users or resellers. So you may not be affected if you are not from these categories. You also do this to remove the web hosts who paid to get on top of some review sites.

3. Eliminate those hostings you feel uncomfortable with, and look for the best bargain hosting for your money and requirements.

If you need a shopping, most of them will have somekind of one-click install for one of the popular shopping cart applications. You can start with Justhost, Fatcow and Bluehost in your research.

Good luck.

I started out with a free host. I learned alot from the owner and he taught me alot of what I know today. Now I'm honored to have grown up 3 years and be working for him.

i agree with this point, free hosting are only for tests and non serious web sites, when your site grow a little, you will probably goes down by your free hosting providers.
