While hosting plans can generally be found for less than $5 per month, free hosting can be useful if you're on a budget and have a low traffic site or are a hobbyist.
A good free hosting provider will offer PHP, MySQL, email, FTP, and a control panel where you can manage everything.
Below are reviews of free hosting providers I have used.
