At least for me. In general, if you run a business on the web, you would not want to take that kind of risk. If you're running a business, I would suggest that you weigh the costs of your site being down against the cost of paying a few dollars extra per month for a good web host. If you're earning from your website, it may be worth your while to pay those extra dollars. If you are running a hobby site or a personal site, however, your choice would of course depend on your own tolerance levels and available budget.
Support is often non-existent for free web hosts.
Frankly, I wouldn't suggest that you run a business site on a free web host. Hobby sites and personal sites are probably okay. You might still want to consider getting your own domain name though. Copyright 2000-2001 by Christopher S L Heng. All rights reserved.
