The advantage of hosting with the free package is that you will use the hosting money on other ventures as opposed to hosting. In addition, your website will use the company’s resources without the owner getting worried of being billed.
Since the domain name is new, the owner has a chance to look for money to pay for hosting once it expires. The domain will also be propagated and start appearing on the search engine during that period.
The main disadvantage of free hosting is that the resources are limited. In case your site exceeded the set out resources, you will be billed. Finally, you are forced to buy a domain name from the company in order to enjoy the free hosting services.
