What's the best free webhosting?

I've been trying to find free webhosting for a page i'm writing, and i was wondering if, somewhere out there, there's a reliable site that's free but doesn't bombard visitors with ads.

Does anyone know of such a mythical site?

Free? Reliable? No popups?

Hahahahahaahhahaha!!

www.150m.com

have had no problems with their free webhosting thus far.

Thanks for the advice. Although 150m seems to hit me with a lot of popups.

well if you don't like popups, geoshities (www.geocities.com) has free hosting only with a single closeable add banner.

Popups are easily blocked by someone using a decent web browser, but the Geocities thing is really annoying.

You can get shared hosting for as little as $5 per month from some places, like 100megswebhosting (and I'm sure there are others). Most ISPs also give you a small amount of webspace along with your Internet connection (mine gives me 20MB if I recall correctly, although I don't use it).

Try 50free.com

I really liked them when I was using them. No ads, PHP, SQL, the works, and it's all free.

1&1 hosting offers some very nice plans for as little as $5.00 a month and as high as $20.00. the basic one gets you 1 gig of space and 25 gigs of bandwidth per month. with the most expensive one giving you 4 gigs of space and 100 gigs of hosting. not a bad deal for the most part if you can shell out a few bucks.

Another one to try is if you're at university to check if they give you any.

Theres some very decent, and cheap, webhosts out there if you look for it. I know I should've been clearer in my original post in this thread but it's not worth it to get free hosting. Nowadays free is never free: it's either unbelievably bad for features, or full of adverts of some sort
