Even though there are many free hosts which provide web hosting at par with many paid hosts, free webhosts are not reliable. One may go or paid hosting, basing on requirment like you may want to host your company website,you may be planning to open an online store, or your website started genertaing good amount of traffic.

While choosing a paid hosting a thorough review should be done of the hosting company . Features that are to be seen in paid hosting-

• Bandwidth and space
• Programming languages supported- PHP ASP PERL CGI
• Databases - MYSQL, SQL LITE, No.of databases being provided
• Support and response- its most important of all. How the support is being provided ? Is it through forums or Ticket system? Try to mail the support of the host and see how fast they respond.
• Surf through the hosts website, try to see the reaction of their customers in their forums, or in form of testimonials.
• The Uptime... it should be almost near 100%. What is their internet speed , what will be the max download spped your site can get?
• Mode of payment-how secure is it?
• Any cash back, if not satisfied with the hosting?
• Do they support auto installing of scripts, will they provide support in installing scripts?
• How many Email accounts are provided? How the email can be assessed? Can email clients be configuered?
and lot more...

Don't hesitate asking any doubts, however silly it may sound, before you are getting the hosting service. When you are paying you should get all the features including support.

I am hosting my website on Ewebguru from last eight months. It seems a good host. No problems till now.Good support and good price. Their features like bandwidth for the amount also seems to be good.. You can have a look by Clicking Here. One thing it is just a suggestion, go thoroughly and ascertain wheter it suits your pocket and purpose.
