Most free systems come come with restrictions and services. The restrictions often include bandwidth, content, advertisement, disk space, number of services, etc. It is something you may want to review before creating a free account. The services available will have to match your needs. For instance a site coded with ASP needs to have management access to ASP services. One coded in PHP on the other hand will need to have PHP available and probably cgi-bin.

Content
You can use a website builder, which often comes with many hosting packages available, even free ones. You can code your own site, but if you are not well versed in 1 or 2 scripting languages (at least html) this can take some learning. There are other options that are far more versatile. They have free CMS (Content Management Systems). CMS systems are generally well coded and can be used for a variety of applications. They take a little know how to install but come with great documentation and tutorials. They also usually have community support and development you can access.

Domains
With free hosting you are generally given a sub-domain. So if you host at x11s.org you can choose from several domain options.
<yourchoice>.x11s.org
<yourchoice>.freehosting.org
etc.
They often let you take a domain you own and point it to their website. TLD's or Top Level Domains are structured like <yourchoice>.com .org .gov etc. They gennerally cost money, however this is very little. For a low traffic domain at godaddy.com you only pay somewhere near $12 a year and up, depending on your needs. There are however some neat emerging options. Some extension offer free domain registration such as .co.nr and .nf.
