Go for long term.
Only largest web host or largest web hosting companies could offer competitive rates, uncompromising services (features and facilities).
I would not go for free web hosting unless it is used for training and learning proposes. If you want to develop a website whether personal or not, you need a reliable web hosting provider that would keep your web site online and keep your data safe.
I have used many web hosting companies and I would recommend Host Nurse as a reputable and reliable provider, I have been with them since a year and everything has been great so far. You can visit them and view their offers at http://www.hostnurse.com/
Host Gator is probably the best web hosting website ever with high quality and speedy hosting servers. But its a little expensive too but if u want quality then you must pay a bit further more
There are many Good Hosting Sites from where you can have your domain but my suggestion is to get domain and hosting from a company which is located nearby your location so that you can get good support from them. But if you insist on online purchasing the domain and hosting space visit here

Do not use "free" for business/e-commerce site as you have no control over it. Register your own domain name and then use a well known host such as Hostgator which have in-expensive hosting packages.
If you're looking for something low cost, I'd suggest Arvixe. It has unlimited storage and bandwidth, plus it comes with a free domain for life. For $4 a month, that's really good.
