For pretty much every developer there is a point in your life when free hosting is a big issue. I know it was for me. When I was starting out I didn’t feel confident enough to pay out money, even if it was a small amount, for hosting services. For me most eveything I was doing early on was personal to build my experience and confidence.
I would spend endless hours looking for and comparing free hosts. Who was offering the most space and bandwidth along with the most features? Who was the most reliable and actually delivered on their promises? Who forced annoying ads and popups on my pages? The usual things that everybody considers.
Things have come along way since I started out in this business. It seems you can find information much more easily now then you could then. It seems there are communities springing up to fill every niche need and then some. If I could have found such a community then like a free host forum I would have been able to save a lot of time and worry about the safety of my work.
If you are still relying on free hosting be sure to find yourself a development community to get involved in. You will be able to get advice and information from others who have already done the research and experienced the road blocks.
