Free Website Hosting Providers Free webhosting sites are out there, the question is what exactly is free, a majority of them will run advertising on your site in exchange for the free hosting, alot of them have limits as to how much traffic you can have, how much space is available for your site, some may not allow php or have sql databases and more.
Another thing about free webhosting is that if they decide to just shut down, you will be left with nothing. If you do decide to use a free webhost make sure you can back up your site as often as possible.
Be sure to check the resources available before signing up, also check out there set up, some free website hosts do not work with domain names but rather your site would be something like yoursite.theirsite.com and if it is a free hosting provider then google and yahoo may just over look your site when they index sites.
The pros and cons of free game site hosting,
Pros - Its free and great if your starting out or want to test a few things.
Cons - They may have limits on band width, disk space, and the server configuration may not allow you to use a script. Some may require you to place their advertising on your site in exchange for the free hosting, free webhosts come and go, one day you may go to visit your site and find that the free hosting provider has shut down, your site and games are now lost forever (unless you backed the site up on your own computer).
