The domain name is a deal breaker. You can't get a custom domain name for free if it is the level of your-domain.com. They can be in the range of $10 to $20 per year which is far cheaper than most hosting. You might be able to find some free subdomains with your-domain.some-other-company.com, though. You can get free hosting of websites with PHP and MySQL at: https://www.000webhost.com/ Reliability isn't the best and you need to turn off ads from their control panel I think but it is free. That is good for learning how to deploy websites before paying for one. The reliability issues make 000webhost not very good if you have a website you want for a small business. You can host static websites(html, css, web browser-based JavaScript) using github pages. That is as reliable as any commercially available web host. You just can't run any code on github's servers.

Martin, yes that would be good for people in places where Internet service is hard to afford like Cuba. There is a video on a group creating an intranet for gaming and some very basic ecommerce at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEplzHraw3c . North Korea probably does similar. I thought he'd want something more conventional for a domain name, though.
