That might be true, temporarily.
When I first started doing a web page, I looked for free hosting, simply because I didn't know anything about programming, cgi, html, javascript, pixels, web safe colors, formatting, etc, etc.
Then I learned a little bit and I got more comfortable. After I got a couple of free web hosts, I figured out that they were all pretty much the same, with a few little quirks here and there. Getting your pages uploaded, writing your pages, adding any scripts or whatever, was basically the same process regardless of what they offered.
Then I decided to by a domain name. Now that was an experience. I had to find out what a nameserver was and all of that jazz.
Then I had to find a web host. Of course, I'm looking for the cheapest one on the block. Cpanel looks like greek to me. I've only had to upload my files through either ftp or a file manager and now I've got scripts!!!! Click here and add this, click here and configure this! Wow!
I stuck with the same host for two years, not doing too much of anything except experimenting with my web pages and graphics and stuff. But, hey, I had my own domain name!
Now, here in the very near future, Hubby and I are starting a couple of not- for-profit organizations. I've got enough experience to make me dangerous. I'm still learning cpanel ins and outs. But at least at this point, I've got an idea of what to look for and what not to look for. I've begun to learn what all of those programming abbreviations represent and why I should need some of them and not others. It doesn't mean that I know how to program them (or write codes), but it does mean that I know what kind of person I need to hire to do what, when and if, I need it.
When we get our sites put up, do you suppose that we are going to stick with a cheap host with lots of space just because they are cheap???
No, I'm going to look for a host that actually has good customer service. And if they are less expensive but have good hosting that is a bonus, but less expensive is the last thing I will look for.
When my sites help bring in the money, I want a site that will be there when someone with generous pockets wants to donate. When someone needs our help I want my site to be up and running rather than leaving them in the middle of a crisis. A lot of people will be depending upon whether or not they can contact us.
So for the learning process, it doesn't really matter as much about quality vs. quantity, but when my livelihood depends upon it, and when the welfare and wellbeing of entire families demand it, you'd better believe I'm going after quality.

i have read it lol the thing is that there are many companies in freewebspace.net and loads of people go for the quantity even if they find something they needed and it has very good quality but they get an offer of lots more space they will leave the quality and go for quantity.. fu
