If you are new to internet business or simply want a web site to offer your services/products going for free web hosting services is not a bad idea. Free websites offer you all the services that you need to start your business. Once your business is established go for paid services as they are more professional and give you a lot of other services. Now days hosting services are available at very cheap prices with very attractive packages.
Uptimes guarantee all the time is what decides how efficient your hosting service is. Go for hosting services with 99.99% uptime guarantee. Check their service and efficiency by calling up at odd hours.
How much space you need and how much is offered by your host? Check if the space is enough for your website. How is their customer support?
Initially 200MB space is enough. If traffic on your website increases, you can go for dedicated server for you site. Are you getting free domain name, chat facility etc. If you get all the facilities spending a few $$ is worth it.
