Free webhosting allows you to have web presence without having to pay for it. It's also possible to get a sub-domain or a directory to your name and this way, the free web hosting services will also you to use domains that you bought separately. But before you make hasty decisions, here are a few things you should know about web hosting services to make sure you are aware of the limitations imposed by selecting free web hosting.

Free hosting services limits the size of hosted file, the allocated bandwidth can shrink each month, and may not allow hot linking to files. It may also not include uploading of MP3, MPEG, and ZIP files. Free web hosting usually makes you agree to have a web host banner or popup advertisements in each of your web page. You get no guarantee on uptime. Still, free web hosting services may include extras like web-based control panel, transfer of files through FTP, scripting languages, relational database, and a guestbook.

Free web hosting sometimes include instant activation, approved activation, post for hosting and even forum hosting. Instant activation is given little storage space with very limited bandwidth allowance. There is also the risk of getting spammed.

For approved activation, web space is provided in plenty with good bandwidth. There are a few other features and applications may need administrator's approval. Administrator will be those employed by the free web hosting service. They will need to validate your application depending on what you've requested and reasons given. This system is made to avoid spamming and ensuring that your website does not resort to phishing.

Some free web hosting services also require you to post on a forum. The free forum-based web hosting will ask that you write a certain of number of posts before you get access to free hosting. They run on points basis. Each post will count toward you getting a free hosting account.

Free web hosting services usually discourage file or image to be hosted from your website as they take up space. If your files are beyond a given limit, they may not allow the file to be accessed. So think carefully before you decide.
