Extent of advertisements
While majority of the free hosting sites may crowd your webpage with advertisements, some may block all ads. It is crucial to understand that both these cases are a siren. It is inevitable that ads will be placed in your website if you are choosing it host it for free. In this case, you must research about the pattern followed by the particular hosting sites; particularly, the content, placement, and size of the ads. On the other hand, if there are no ads, the chances of the particular free web page hosting site to shut down due to lack of funds is high.
Other checkmates:
The free hosting sites may restrict PHP/PERL accessibility, FTP access, storage space, and maximum bandwidth. In the cases of first two limitations, some hosting sites offer their premade scripts and/or online builder. But if your webpage demands more space than 5MB (approximately) or higher traffic, go for paid web page web hosting.
