The biggest advantage, undoubtedly, is that there is no need for payment and website designing experience.
Additionally, it is worth mentioning that integrated website designers are constantly enhancing and there is a wide variety of templates available to make your site appear stunning and distinctive.

Of course, and at first glance it is really tempting. But basically - these are the so-called one-day sites. Mostly novice teenagers, pensioners or housewives who are inexperienced with web design like to 'make' such sites.   But, to be honest, I met in my practice several free sites that could be of great interest.

Undoubtedly, it is quite convenient to use services that provide everything - the latest versions of php, and MySQL databases, and relatively unlimited disk space. However, these services often limit processor power, speed of access to the resource, and even the ability to run cron for crucial services. As an example, I have my business card website on one of these resources. Despite having a lower attendance rate, it has functioned successfully without asking for compensation since 2013.

Additionally, creating decent sites are possible for anyone, including individuals with no expertise in HTML skills or housewives, with Wordpress and the vast selection of plugins and themes available. For instance, I created a job search agency site for a friend that was initially on free byethost and later transferred to a good, fast hosting in Frankfurt, and now rents VPS. Lastly, I would like to mention a service, infinityfree, which in my opinion is not bad and could be useful to someone, without intending to advertise.

Hi! I would attribute the advantages to the fact that you can quickly and easily host a website in free hosting, as well as get ready-made layouts and templates for website development. Well, you don't have to pay anything For a novice user, this is a very good, and most importantly, affordable option.

I agree. But the layouts and themes on these hosts tend to be quite simple. I think it's easier to install Wordpress. There are thousands, tens of thousands of themes, templates, a huge number of plugins. Including completely free ones. And even a schoolboy will cope with the "administrative panel". Everything is intuitive.

Free hosting has several advantages, with the main one being that it is free of charge. You can simply register on a free hosting service by email confirmation and log in with your credentials to start creating a site. Additionally, you are provided with a free domain that is usually the third level, which includes the name of the service. There are also ready-made templates available for individuals who lack HTML, CSS, and programming language expertise. Finally, registering for a free hosting service takes only a few minutes before your site becomes accessible online.

However, there are some disadvantages to using free hosting, such as disk space limitations, wherein several tens or hundreds of megabytes on the server are allocated for a website. Ads are also placed on your website to cover the costs of hosting your website for free, which can cause irritation among visitors or obstruct your content. Additionally, your site's name belongs to the hosting provider, so if you switch providers, you lose your domain. Furthermore, restrictions on server technologies may limit the functionality of the site, and there is no trust in a commercial company's site on a free web hosting. Finally, the reliability of free web hosting is low, and users are not the owners of their sites, so they can be removed from the server at any time without explanation.
