“Of course there is an up side to going with a free web hosting service. The obvious is it’s free. There will never be fee for your domain name. Unfortunately that’s about the only up side I can see.
The main downside to selecting a free web hosting service is the advertisements and pop-ups that are non stop. Also you URL will have their company name in it, for example username.freeserversz.com.
Free web hosting services usually allow a lower bandwidth then paid hosts. Sometimes free web hosting sites have been known to change their terms & conditions, or even cancel their free hosts and force you to either pay them or lose your site. In essence, the free host controls everything you and your website does, and this isn’t good. If you ever want to monetize your site in the future, you’ll be severely limited with what you can do. How can you monetize your site if you don’t control it?
If you are planning on using your website as a person site for family and friends, then a free web hosting is sufficient. However if you are using your website for business purposes, then like mentioned before it is highly recommended you invest in a paid web hosting service.
There is only one downside to paid hosting, they cost you money. However there are many upsides included in this investment. With paid hosting you host your own domain, so if you change the web hosting service in the future you can easily transfer the domain to your new provider with out any loss of traffic.
Paid hosting services usually offer 24/7 customer support through email, live-chat, or toll-free phone support. With paid hosting you are generally offered enough disk space and bandwidth. The internet offers free PHP scripts that you can download and easily use, even if you aren’t a computer programmer.

I would suggest 000webhost free hosting. They have no ads, 1.5GB of space, 100GB of monthly bandwidth and most of the basic things are supported. They also have a website autoinstaller which you can use to install shopping websites, forums, blogs and more with 1 click. I would say a free host is the best to start with, then you can switch to a payed one with more options if you need them.

Hi galaxyangel_mint,
The criteria you mentioned seem to apply only to
reliable paid hosting.
I don't know why you insist on free hosting service
because from the business point of view, they
don't provide reliable server to run your website,
even though you upgrade to become their paid users
later on.
When you face an urgent matter, they can't help
you instantly since they only provide email support.
But if you're building a personal website just to
share with your closed friends and family and not
using it as a business platform, then that probably
justifies your choice.
I personally would not recommend any free web hosting
service for my clients who run businesses because
they really stinks. I've used several of them when
I first started out, but they failed me.
Again, if you just want to build a non-profitable
website, any free hosting service will do the trick.
But if you intend to go into business, then I would
suggest you to go get a reliable paid hosting service
which is easy to use, navigate, has efficient web
tools and has faster loading time, as per your expectation.
You might want to refer to the website below which
I found pretty useful and helpful for those who
wanted to know which web hosting service works best
for them.
Best of luck!

also comes with cpanel, whm, etc.
their site explains everything, very user friendly.
best of all your web hosting is 100% FREE with them with no catches.
