Darn i am fighting with ICICI ppl, since they cut off my CC account[called them frequently as it wasn't getting accepted in Paypal], so now again friggling to get my DC account linked with 0 Balance one.
Once its done ill register with Hostgator..

.COM but free? Nobody is going to provide you a '.COM' the most common '.tld' for free. I suppose you are telling that you purchased a domain and pointed it to some hosting providers who provide hosting for free?

Well, don't you feel the risk of being in a free host? What will you do if they suddenly ban your site? You'll have to go for a paid hosting anyhow.

You won't be having full rights over your website. Is that OK to you? Didn't they place google adsense inside your site with which they make money? Aren't you annoyed of it?

More over, if you have purchased a '.com' domain, hosting is ultra cheap. $5 or $6 / month is affordable for anyone who is in need of a website. If that is not affordable, don't just think of Bluehost, Hostgator and other big hosts. There are many hosts all around you & me which may not be very popular but still provide good hosting service at a even more cheaper cost. Have a search

I have been using free hosting for about 18 months with 000webhost.com and have never had down time, nor do they put ads on the sites. I have been well treated, and all my tickets have been responded to in a timely manner.
I have used two different paid hosting companies and both have let me down. So who would you use in these circumstances?

000webhost is like an exception. I hear they serve their free members well. If you go for a paid hosting service, don't choose the cheapest one. The old adage is still used here: you will get what you paid for.

Ok, chillax guys, i have though not much considering any of these anymore cause none of the both have much difference and yes, Paid is going somewhat ok than Free, you see "free tho free hai" aur paid "Kud ki kamayi..," Nevermind in Free or paid and ya 000webhost.com [AKA] the crap one which i have ever come across than Lycos, tripod, 100mb and old school[Yahoo's Geocities].
mere lucky for those who say that they are serving good for their free users and the place that i have hosted never annoys you nor put any sort banners and yes, my Website got [Pr1] whereas Paid is at [Pr0] but paid is doing somewhat well....

Great. You see paid hosting sites are really better. And the main reason why there are these crappy free hosting sites is that its some sort of a lure. You see, if you're a first time in getting a web host, you wouldn't want to pay for it right away right? And so there are these free web hosting services as a trial. And if you're ready to go pro, you'll probably buy their paid services.

Free hosting as well as cheap hosting are the best options for the new buyers.
