Before you make the decision to choose free or paid hosting, you should answer this question: What ambitions do I have for my website? If you are starting a small personal page for your friends that consists of a few .html files, then free host will be sufficient. In case you plan to run a serious business website, need PHP, database and don't want ads on your site I recommend you look for a quality paid host.
