    The downside of having a free domain and hosting is that you don't have complete control over it. The domain isn't a huge deal because you can usually pick whatever you want as long as it's available. The hosting is usually limited because it's free and you can't do much. The bandwidth of a free hosting plan is usually ***unlimited*** but that just means when you get too much traffic they will make you pay them lol. Just remember, bandwidth isn't free so you'll be using up their money if you get too much traffic, and no company likes that ;) Another bad thing about free website hosting is that you always have ads popping up on your website or a bunch of footer links from the hosting company's advertisers. This will only make your company look like a lower quality one and result in less sales.

    There are a lot of disadvantages of using free domains and hosting, the first is that you do not have complete control over any of it, you only get minimal control meaning you are limited to what you can do compared to what you would have with paid hosting or domain names. Another is the amount of space and bandwidth you are given, as much as some free hosting places will give you a decent amount you may find at a later date that it just isn't enough leaving you with a problem you have to solve on whether you want to move to paid hosting, if you can.

    Free domains from the sites are usually good if they can be ported to other hosting. I have had trouble with that on the arvixe side. So I'd not recommend host that gives free stuff. Because no matter what you do there is going to be a catch. And it puts burden on both the host and the user. So it's better to pay for the things that you need. And for this I pay for the hosting and the domains.

    I have noticed that hosting is usually good in many ways if it's cheap on the bandwidth side. If they are charging more for bandwidth then stick with the free hosting. I used free hosting for many years. And eventually moved to the paid hosting options there.

    From what I have seen with free hosting are the myriads of ads that populate not only your homepage but including the inner pages. I remember one site that has an ad of a sex enhancing pill which is not appropriate for a site with a wholesome niche. And I understand the situation simply because it is for free and that inappropriate ad is the price you pay. So I guess it is better to invest in a paid hosting than avail of free hosting that you have no control of.
