Free webhost? Well, Its kinda sad but there's no such thing as "Free" in this world, somehow, in some way, the company will benefit from it, this could be in many many ways such as selling your data, removing your website on higher traffic(which will cause you to buy their premium package to continue), etc.

The best way would be to do as Manal Suggested, host a website from your VPS, this is what I've done and It may need you to pass a learning curve in the start but once you master It It's very convenient

Well I can't say that's a 100% correct statement. What guarantee someone can have a paid hosting provider wouldn't sell their client database ? That's a risk everyone take on internet paid or free. That's why most people don't use their credits cards for sites unless it's a big massive company like Amazon or Godaddy. for other small companies we use something like Paypal. So this argument really doesn't valid. After all even here at Post4VPS we are using sort of free service. So any use a server here have same sort of rick. Here there is one provider who asked even  for a photo identity.

The important thing is we need to make sure we know what you are doing. If you are testing a new provider then you have to decide what information you are going to share with him.I have used both free and paid hosting services for very long time. There were vps providers who simply sold their client list to another provider and vanished. They wouldn't even inform clients before hand. And there were free hosting services which I have used years without a single problem.

If OP's site is just an average hobby site then I guess  It's fine taking a VPS and then learn everything and then start running the site. But even till he covers that learning curve he need s a place to keep that site. Its no fun keep uploading a site while you go through this learning curve. Been there. So I know how it feels.
