There are a few things you may need to know to start using your free hosting comfortably. To avoid missing any, I'd like to number them.

1. You may need a domain name. Although most free web host companied will give a generic sub domain like http://me.them.com, you will need to register your own domain name like http://me.com, that way you take total control of your website incase of eventualities.

2. If you need email accounts with your web host, then you must need to register your own domain as your host cannot keep your private email under their generic name.

3. To beautify your website, you'll definitely need logos and designs. There are some tools to do these on the internet. You may also decide to pay professional logo makers to do them for you.

4. Some websites are full commercial or membership sites. If yours is going to be so, then you need to secure your website with certain programs. These programs hardly come free, but there are some that are relatively cheap and efficient.

To make sure you get all these and some other tools that I didn't mention, I went a good length to get them for you - some free, others at great bargain.

Fell free to visit the following sites by clicking their logos and check out all the stuff they have for you.
