If you want to start a business you need to put some money in. Just get some cheap badica plan on godaddy or hostgator.

you get what you pay for so regarding getting something free, its not worth the hassle, pay a small amount for a cheap site as opposed to a free one with no backup .

They have access to ur files and often copy/resell them including most importantly any mysql login database you create. Then of course theres metered connection, limited bandwith/traffic/space and paid advertising everywhere.
