What host should I use ?
I used free & paid.
But I like the paid one, right now I have a personal reseller and I'm giving host only to my websites.
And I have some peoples that are taking host from me ( paid ).

In my experience, free hosts can be as good as paid hosts. The quality of the technical support that they can provide is what really matters to me.

I've been using paid host for 3 years after using free host for 3 years, and yes, both can be same... Depend which free host you're looking for, the best I found was at freepgs.com but they're closing down after operated for 5 years

Since you have a reseller, why bother getting a free host? Just curious...

You never know when I get suspended and/or other things. I hadn't read all rules ... so I'm bit scared.

Well, rules are kinda the same for most hosts: don't post warez, porn, racial stuff, no proxy-sites, don't use the host as a file storage, etc.

Avoid those and you should be fine (and remember to back up your files regularly!) ;)

i've used free (post-to-host) hosts for 2 years now and aside from on occassion..haven't had much problems...
just when they go updating stuff i've gotta rerun installers for scripts on my sites...but i'm betting that's a typical thing..

from all the posts i've read of people having issues with godaddy and host gator and a few others...seems to me that my free hosts are a lot better especially when it comes to support!
