Quote from your link:

"Also, using a free or bargain host usually means that your site will get bombarded with banners and pop-up advertisements. These ads, other than causing distraction, could actually compete with the products you are trying to sell! Furthermore, bargain hosts usually plunge any site-defining part of the web address far into the subdomain."
