Hmmm.... Define "free". With cheaper companies ($6/month and under), I have spent hours of my valuable time on the phone with their support center or wading through their support FAQs trying to get their "free" scripts to actually work. The scripts are "free" because they're open-source and available everywhere, but most cheap web hosting companies offer minimal support for them.

My point is, most likely there are other more immediate web hosting features you should look for. What To Look For In a Web Hosting Company It’s fine to shop around for a good price. But when researching web hosting companies, be sure to consider:
Most of the above can easily be found for $9-12/month -- just a few dollars more than the cheap web hosting companies.

That tactic seems obvious to most people. What often is neglected is the post-sale follow up with customers, particularly when it comes to online businesses.
