If you are just looking for a small amount of space to upload a personal site it makes little sense to pay a monthly fee for a hosting service that may contain more features than you will ever need.
Choosing a free host is a good compromise for someone who would like to experiment with web design, or maybe host a low-traffic personal web site.
Free web hosting will often include only a small amount of web space and bandwidth. Features also tend to be limited, often with no support for PHP, MySQL, multiple email addresses, and poor or non-existent web statistics.
Although free hosting is great to practice your web design, or even host a web site for family and friends, it should not be considered as a plausible solution for the serious web master or business owner, particularly with the price of low cost shared hosting being so low.
