In some instances, although you may require web hosting, you will not be able or willing to pay for it.The internet was once full of free web hosting services.With free web hosting companies bombarding their clients with inline ads, banners, JavaScript and flash advertising to be placed on their websites, the number of free web hosts gradually started reducing.

The remaining free cheap web hosting services started offering paid web hosting services where they offered extra features, as well as existing everyday services

Obviously, the greatest benefit of using a free web host is that you receive the service for free, no money required.

Free web hosts are great options for amateurs in the internet world. People creating small or experimental websites, looking for web hosting for their backup website and those looking for a test platform, are normally those who require and prefer free web hosting.

Despite so many advantages, there are some disadvantages with using free web hosting.The most obvious disadvantage is your being forced to show some form of advertising on your website.This is generally because the free web host has to make up their costs somehow, and therefore try to earn money through these advertisements.Their advertisements are available as banners, pop-ups, pop-unders, text links and also as various combinations on your site.

You receive limited storage space from free web hosts while the type of files you can use and the subject of the content on your website may face some restrictions.Some free web hosts will have restrictions on the size limits of files you upload while others will not provide you with features such as shopping carts and scripting.

Don’t expect custom domain names with free web hosts as some of them have sub domains and directories.You may  not get the professionalism your website requires via free web hosting.
