The hosting service that I use is $8/month for 1 gig of storage. My website has not been down - for any period of time - once since I started it. So, no -- this isn't something that you just have to deal with, even with pay sites.
Auctiva's benefit (to me) is the listing service combined with image hosting, especially with free scheduled listing. For high volume listers, regular outages - yes, even with a free site - are not acceptable. I'd gladly pay a monthly service for Auctiva if I knew I could rely on it as much as I rely on my webhost.
