Always Online

FreeDNS isn't a service to keep your site online, unlike CloudFlare.

FreeDNS provides a url that points to an IP-adress you give up.

If the server goes down of the host, then your site will be offline.

Note that CloudFlare will work only for a static content. It's a kind of proxy that in case of original server being down may show the copy of your page made before. You may want to carefully set the cache dispositions, expire times etc. sent with your pages. It will not work at all for dynamic content, the CloudFlare's proxy have to access original server every time anyway, so if original server with dynamic content is down, CloudFlare won't show your page but just an error page.

@ Tjoene, and @ Piotr GRD - So what are the alternatives? Anything better available? Please suggest.

I would suggest CloudFlare if you don't change images (=static content) on your site often.

But if are planning on changing images, you can put CloudFlare in dev mode. Then the images aren't cached and come from the server.
