If Free Websites Are Available, What Are The Benefits To Paying For Web Hosting?

I am a little unclear about why it may be better to pay to have your website hosted if there are sites where one can build/have their webpage for free. Can you help me understand the differences and advantages?

    Domain names usually. Free sites will let you use something like "yourname.freesite.com" for example. Hosting sites let's you register (or xfer) your own domain "yourname.com".  (Free sites usually let you do that, too). You can usually get a ton of other services for extra money that you don't get with free sites, i.e., dedicated servers, disk space, extra domains, etc. If you're a serious company, you most certainly have to be hosted. These are all just generalizations since there are exceptions to every rule.
