  4. In reality most hosting companies are hoping that if you sign up with them for a free hosting service, as your business or personal page grows, you will stick with them when you need to upgrade to more file space or bandwidth. The ads really don’t pay for a lot, but one thing most people forget is that the web hosts that put some small ads on your web page are most likely the ones that will stick around. Almost all free web hosting companies with no ads eventually go out of business because they have no revenue stream. They will disappear and leave you in the lurch. Like they say, you get what you pay for. Since you pay nothing, they give you nothing in return. If you want a reliable host that has been around and will continue to be around, go to They offer 250MB of disk space, 6 GB bandwidth, MySQL, Email, Webmail, and more. Best of all, it’s reliable and FREE!
