Will changing web host affect my MX Records with Google Apps?
I signed up for one year free account with 50webs hosting company.
And got free URL redirection service .CO.CC to go with it.
And got my email as ****@saurabhpatel.co.cc
Now that the one year is coming to an end I will sign up for 50webs basic free package which also allows custom MX records, but will I have to go through all the procedure of resetting Google Apps again? (since, my computer knowledge is very limited that was quite a task for me)
If I switch my host to 987mb.com (also free but with larger capacities) which doesn't seem to allow to change MX records will my email ID stop working?

Not sure. Is you e-mail forwarded to Google GMail or something? I thought Google apps use your domain name to validate themselves, but am not sure I understand what you're trying to do.

Yeah, my mails are forwarded to a gmail like looking account.
Here's the screen shot of MX Record for Google Apps at my %0webs account.(the account which will expire soon)
I want to ask if I will continue to receive emails on my G Apps Account even after my 50webs account expires.
my domain is permanent and verified

I use Google Hosted Services too and if I'm understanding you correctly if you switch to 987mb.com (with no custom MX record) your email will stop working. Because they handle DNS for your domain, they control MX records, so if you can't change them to google, tough cookies for you.
If you stop using 50webs, you will stop getting emails because 50webs is handling your MX records. When you drop 50webs, they drop your MX entries.

Thanx
Can you recommend any webhost that provides free hosting without forced ads and allows MX entries customization.
Large hosting space preferred. (50webs,s free package comes with 60 mb of space ony while 987mb gives 20GB)

There's a guy we know offering free hosting, not sure whether you're allowed to change the MX entries though.
Most people here are on paid hosting, so it's a little difficult to recommend free hosts.

But maybe cheap web hosting is an option?
