Free or Paid hosting

Having ads, you don't have control over, makes your website looks unprofessional so choose paid hosting.

you have to go for paid hosting if you want to join the market professionally, at your own conditions.

Paid! It definately worth it. You get more flexibility, your not limited just html or php only in safe mode, etc. Plus you get support and with the good paid host they often have live chat or toll free phone support.

I'd definitely go paid, even though going pay has its own particular headaches. But the headaches of a pay host are still better than that of a free host.

My plusses and minuses for paid hosts:

Paid web hosting:
(+) You can host your own domain. If you decide to change the web hosting provider in the future, you easily transfer the domain to the new provider and don't loose your traffic.
(+) Most paid hosts offer 24/7 support via email or live chat and some of them provide toll-free phone support.
(+) You can expect better uptime then on free host. Some paid hosts offer uptime guarantee.
(+) Paid hosts usually offer enough disk space and bandwith. Futures like PHP and MySQL are standard. Even if you are not programmer you can download plenty of free PHP scripts from internet.
(-) Paid hosting coast money

freehosting is not stable and takes time to get an account.
