I am thinking about starting my own website and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good Web Hosting service that's free or a low price.

http://www.hostmonster.com is the best hosting company i have found for the money. Cheap? It's really cheap but not free. You don't want a free hosting site unless you are just using it to store useless crap or learning how to code. Most of the free sites make you use a subdomain. You can point a domain to the same ip but you still won't webmail or things you need with a website.

I've had a terrible experience with Hostmonster. I had my site and a few client sites on there. And one of the client sites got infected by malware. I cleaned it right after to the best of my abilities. But it got infected again. And Hostmonster shut down everything without any notice, and refused to give my account back!

I even suggested that I'll completely delete off the infected client site (which was limited to just one directory), but they said they aren't willing to do that. No matter what I said, their response was "you have violated our policy. So we are deleting your account".

I'm currently with Rackspace Cloud, and really happy with everything. Just thought I'd add my experience here so that it doesn't happen to anyone else.

Well, if you're just starting out, try http://www.webs.com. It's a free service where you can try out making webpages without using any code (if I remember correctly).

But if you want to use code, or you want something more advanced, in3t gave a good suggestion to try http://www.hostmonster.com. You still have to pay a little bit for it, but its by far more advanced than webs.com.

webs provide 2nd level domain name which seems a bad idea.

Cheapest hosting service I've seen yet is from Idlesoft. It's $10 a year for shared hosting (as in, less than $1 a month).
