If you are serious about your website as in, you want to attract a significant audience or run a business on it, you should not consider free hosting. If it's for personal use and you want to see if blogging is for you and want to have your personal domain, then go ahead, start with free hosting. Once your working with it you will get a better understanding of how well it works for you. If at some point you decide you want more options you can always switch to paid hosting.

In my experience it is best to use free hosting for testing a website. Always go for premium once your site is ready to go live.
Free is free ! You got the sensitive one so change it .

I completely agree.
Personally, I contact my friends, and trustworthy members here asking if they'd be willing to help me out. 9 out of 10 cases, the members here who own very reputable hosting companies are more than happy to help me. I have a name for myself out here, and yes, while I have done some "crazy shiz" programming (Like programming a 3D MMORPG from C# from scratch) my friends here know that I will not do anything to compromise the integrity of their server. If I'm in the mood to do some "hacking" (white hacking) I will release my findings to the server owner with a list of possible fixes in order to assist them.
I don't just take free hosting. If I see a friend whom I know to be reputable, make an offer to someone requesting paid hosting, I will jump in and vouch for them! It's the least I can do!
Speaking of which.... I take it that you no longer need your account with me, Sarah? Your blog died ages ago and the domain has since expired.

Hahahahaha Sorry about that Deeplist, yeah that would be fineSpeaking of which.... I take it that you no longer need your account with me, Sarah? Your blog died ages ago and the domain has since expired.
I've been really all over the place in the last (god knows how long) thanks for the hosting!
FYI: To everyone, the entire time that my blog was active and hosted with Deeplist's company, there had been no unscheduled down time, it had ran very well, and had no errors! If you're looking for a great reliable host, don't disregard deeplist's company!

Honestly paid or not every hosting company uses the same type of equipment to host your site.
What it matters is that the person behind the free hosting is taking care of their servers well.
Myself I offer free hosting and the security of my site users is way important to me.

You get what you pay for and when it is free, you cannot expect reliability.
That highly depends on where you choose to get your hosting from. Bottom line.
well, it depends what kind of free hosting you are getting, if it is cloud hosting then it is safe.
