Free web hosting Facilities
It's for free. You don't need to pay for domain name.

Free web hosting Limitations
Your URL will be something like yourdomainname.hostingcomapny.com . As I noticed above, the advantage is that you don't need to pay for domain. But note that if you move your website to another provider in the future you can loose some or all your traffic.
Your provider will probably include ads to your pages - usually 1 or 2 banners, sometimes popup windows. If you plan to use banner exchange on your site read carefully their Terms and conditions. Some free hosts doesn't allow it.
Free hosts usually allow lower bandwith then paid hosts and a lot of them don't offer futures like PHP and MySQL.
A lot of free hosts change their Terms and conditions during some time. If your free host offers hosting without ads now, don't be surprised when banner or popup appears on your site in the future.

Bravenet.com is another free hosting company. If you are looking to build a business and want to start cheap, they only charge for the domain (8.99 i believe). If and when you leave, you can take your domain with you so that you don't lose traffic to your site. They are limited on their templates, but for free hosting, it is a good place to start. There is also free blogs and other information at that site.
