Ill give you a good example. lets just asume person A and person B both have paid servers and basically the same sites with the same rank and same backlinks. Person A gets a freehost and adds a backlink, voila person A now ranks higher..

Dont underestimate a free host..

2 other things i should mention..someone mentioned that when your site is down google will just put you in a temp sandbox until your site is back up This is partly true, it all boils down to when and what it was doing when your site went down. I have had sites go both ways . vanish because of downtime or just vaish for a few days..
you are totally right!

i was trying to point out that it's pretty iresponsible to left your sites down for couple of days. i don't remember having a downtime with really good freehosts like blogger. correct me if i'm wrong!

maybe i should build a freehost myself?

btw, i don't wanna answer comments about having a paid hosting. ofcourse it is a must-have in this biz!
