When purchasing web hosting, as with all products and services in this world, it really is a matter of you get what you pay for. It is important to pay close attention to the features and services that /aren't/ on offer rather than what are as it is very common practice for a business to put great emphasis on what they are providing and thus over shadow the lack of important features.
Your standard free hosting will essentially provide a facility allowing for site content to be accessible over the internet and probably the allowance of mail boxes. Generally this will be accessible as a subdomain of their site i.e yourdomain.hostsdomain.co.uk. Limitations in bandwidth, space and also file compatibility are very common attributes associated with free hosting, not to mention a very limited amount of technical support, so if you are wanting more than a site comprised of static pages, finding a service that meets requirements that is also free may be a pressing task indeed.
Free hosting is also unfortunately not provided out of pure generosity, a webhost will be providing for one of two reasons generally; Either to promote their paid products and services or to utilize the visitors of your site by adding either their own or third party advertisements.
All in all, free web hosting does as it describes by providing a home for your site but there are non monetary costs that are invariably bundled within this deal whether it be the lack of required features, poor bandwidth or the inclusion of third party banners and pop-ups just to mention but a few of the downsides.
