1. Absence of Experience
Guinea Pigs Sounds
First anything who has a distinguished adequate computer and some fancy software can be a web host. Therefore, it is important that you investigate any firm that you decree that you want to use to host your web site. Find out how long have they been around, ask what their up time rate is. Ask do they have backup servers if one fails. The last thing that you want to do is signing up with a new firm that is going through their growing pains and is using you as their guinea pigs to work out the bugs.
2. 24/7 Support
It is important that you find a firm that offers 24/7 support. A good dependable firm will have a preserve staff that is ready 24 hours a day seven days a week. If you run over a firm that closes up shop at 5:00 and don't open back until 9:00 the next morning, it is best you stay away from this firm and run while you still can. Also does the buyer service department sound knowledgeable? I had a gentleman tell me about a firm that he used and when he called with a question was told by the buyer service representative that they had no idea how to fix the question on their end.

If one or more of these are not in order chances are you will regret doing firm with this firm in the long run. Free web hosting can be a very fun experience, however you must know exactly what you are getting into from the very beginning.
