• File Size Limitation – many free hosting providers limit your max website files size, usually it's about a half megabyte.

• Account Expiration – you may find your website unavailable after some period. Check what the default expiration time is.

• Hardware Limitation – if you have medium of higher traffic, free web provider can cut it by web server’s hardware limitations. For example: percentage of server's CPU and/or memory. But, if you have a few visitors per day, there is no reason to worry about it.

• FTP Access – it’s the easiest and quickest way to upload/download files from your website. Most free hosting providers don't have this option.

• First Year for Free – some of the paid hosting companies offer you first year for free, but you’ll need to supply a valid credit card. If you’ll cancel the service before the end of the first year, web host provider will charge your credit card.
