I needed lots of space to assist me in building my own commercial website, so I went on the Internet and found a paid web managed hosting company that also offered extended storage space, faster servers, and technical support. I went for a free hosting company previously, but that was for my personal web page and it worked just fine for me. When comparing free to paid managed companies, keep in mind the free ones will have a lot of ads.  Paid sites will offer an easy and convenient method of drawing millions of potential viewers to your website, go with the paid hosting.
