Free vs. Paid Webhosts

[AJS_]

All free hosts suck, some paid hosts suck.



I recommend the Forum Forge. Great prices and great hosting.

Free is good because it's free. mostly they suck, but not all do. I have been using SiteFrost and it seems good.

free - never trust them

post to host - trustable sometimes

paid - trustable often but be careful

I have a free host that is great. Awesome support, awesome community, and fantastic packages. They have a crazy amount of uptime, like I've been there since March 4th and have only seen my site down once to be honest.

Cool, and did you like them?

Paid hosts are usually better, but I think free hosts you can get what you wanted. It just depends on how much work you put in.

True enough. Like the one I use (mentioned above) I think is awesome. Great support, great community, great uptime, plus you can expand your space by posting. Which, isn't required. I just don't even see a point to upgrading. :P

Depending on what your looking to do, would way heavily on paid vs free. I would suggest free if it's going to be the first site you run. It's a good learning tool. Getting involved with a paid host allows so many more options that may confused the less inexperience webmasters.
