Is there a catch on the free web hosts?

I need a web host that offers about 100 megs of space. my friend recommended that I use 1 %26amp; 1 but I dont want to spend any money on it so I want to know if I should get a free host or buy one.

Is there a catch on the free web hosts?

Free web hosts can suffer from any and all of the following problems:

- Poor reliability, for example your site can go offline sporadically and you can%26#039;t really complain,

- Embedded advertising which you can%26#039;t or aren%26#039;t allowed to remove, and you make no money from,

- Slow connections to the internet

- Zero support or service

- No backups or low-quality backups

Basically, you get what you pay for.

I agree with a previous answerer on Dreamhost. The web host I have used for several projects is Dreamhost ( http://www.dreamhost.com ). You can host as many domains on one account as you want for no extra charge, and all domain name registrations include private registration (which I recommend so your personal info is kept out of WHOIS) for less than $10/name. There%26#039;s even a 10% discount code you can use when you sign up that I used: SUPER8.
