Hi everyone

I have been looking at hosting options and have seen there is an array of choices out there. I like the idea of free hosting as in this site:

http://www.bravenet.com/webhosting/

(but is there a catch?)

I know I should be looking for reputable company to trust my future online 'growing' business. I wonder if anyone has used a free hosting service and can compare with a paid service. What is your experience with both and what kind of services should I be looking for to have a stable online presence for my business?

I have looked at what this website is offering and I realise it could be well worth the reasonable monthly charge. This then leads me to start thinking about the marketing these hosting companies offer in regards to search engine status ect.. I wonder if I should just keep in simple and not look into it too much or am I asking the right questions?
