why get paid webhosting?

While a few reliable free hosts exist, you simply will have more control over a paid hosting account.

If you're doing anything serious, or that you care about at all, you should go with a paid host. Even if it's a cheap web host, it's still paid and that means they will have to at least provide the level of service promised to you.

A free web host provides absolutely no guarantees to its customers, other than the fact that they guarantee that they are not liable for anything that might occur as a result of you using their hosting service.

That says a lot. And it should be enough to let you know that you should opt for a paid web hosting service if at all possible.

It's all about uptime. I can't risk using a freehost that has ANY downtime. Not to mention I need power, for databases... bandwidth..

I grind out little free hosts.

The best thing about paid hosting is not only about the features but also fast support service provided.I come up with a lot of questions and a good support service should be given ! Other than that , paid hosting is not too expensive , its cheap and very affordable.

you can get a hosting for only $0.01 for the first month.
