How to choose any webhost

OK Now you know about some webhosts which provide free webhosting services. Get list of more at:
Free Webhosts Power Search

But how to judge which is the best for your purpose? The question "Which is the best?" depends on your usage and skill levels.

Before signing up for a Free Webhost look for following services in the same order as given (High priority to low priority):

1. Should provide sufficient webspace (above 100 MB).

2. Should have PHP or ASP. Though PHP is preferred since almost all Open Source Content Management Systems (CMS) are build for PHP.

3. Should hava a Database Management System. Preferrably MySQL for PHP and MSSQL for ASP. This will required if you use any CMS or Catalogue applications.

4. It will be good if it provides emails since this will create emails like yourname@yourdomain.com which looks more professional with regard to the usage of that domain.

5. It will be an added advantage if it supports Custom Error Pages, Script Installer (Elefante or Fantastico).
