Make sure that you keep a backup copy of the website and that you own/manage the domain name. If that is the case, even if your host went belly up, you could pretty easily move it to another host. Now if they owned the domain, you would pretty much be screwed.

Marks advise is very wise ... always keep a copy of the website and make sure you own the domain. Other than that, a paid service gives you more flexablity to grow. This all depends on your needs, is it a personal site or business.
Good luck
