1. I am happy with the free, no ads www.freeweb7.com

I dont know how they survive, they must live of the google ads in the control panel.

See if this helps. Free Web Hosting (http://www.free-webhosts.com/reviews/) describes each provider and includes user reviews.

3. All of them suck.

I doubt you will need much space, or that you will get much traffic at first. I use https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ and I pay about 1$ per month. And I get PHP, Ruby, MySQL, and ect. It works great. Anything that is free is likely to put ads on your site.

4. As was said

They all suck

Is there no way you can afford about 20 dollars up front and another 5 dollars per month for paid hosting? Godaddy will let your register a domain for a little over 9.00 and open a virtual hosting account for about ten dollars. The actual economy hosting is technically 3.99 per month but I think you have to make a two month committment.

Can you do that?
