Will Free Hosting survive?

[Hoosierhunter]

I think free webhosting is good for newbies who want to cut their teeth on HTML, but the truth is, most providers are probably going to trickle off and a few companies will likely survive. There will still be free hosting, but it is likely going to be part of other services.

well i will going to argue that in this era nothing is going to free so if hosts giving you services free then they will be getting from other resources !
So if it you invest something in start then you will got somethin out of it later!

I don't think we will be seeing much free hosting in the long run. There will probably still be some companies who offer some free hosting as reward or payment for work but they will be a regular paid hosting company.
