Default Can we start business with free servers

How about having a free hosting server first before starting business and then transfering to another web hoster who provides good service. I hope that will be best


Please Advice

It has been done, but I don't advise it. Free hosting is usually unreliable, short-lived, loaded with ads, etc...

I and others on this board can get you great hosting for under $100 a year. Just ask around.

Won't recommend, not powerful enough, unless you got an insane webhost.

Bad idea. For a lot of reasons. If you're starting a business, you can surely afford to pay <10$ for real webhosting. You do know you have to spend money to start a business, right?

Second, any and all page rank and most traffic you get to your free host will be lost when you switch, this is a bad thing.

Just get a real hosting account. They're very cheap.
