Even just a year ago there seemed to be more options for free hosting. The number of sites offering good deals without any ads is very small.At least, that's what it seems to me from searching the past couple days. Could be the problem is the search engine. Google tends to offer up more and more junk and less focused results. Could be the web just has more and more junk. But I digress.One important factor is the ability to go from free to paid and have decent support. From the comments...

QUOTE (asimrsiddiqui @ Sep 18 2004, 12:41 PM) Hi, I think that whenever anyone create any new site and want to publish over internet he must have the following features in order to choose free webhost. Free Space [as much he needs] Bandwidth [according to you think how much visitors u expect] Uploading should be FTP/Browser both Subdomain like /you Must Support at least one either Php or Asp No popup or banner should be good enough.  i would LOVE to find a webserver that supports RSYNC aswel as FTP. infact, im surprised RSYNC isnt used at all ! QUOTE DESCRIPTION rsync is a program that behaves in much the same way that rcp does, but has many more options and uses the rsync remote-update protocol to greatly speed up file transfers when the destination file already exists. The rsync remote-update protocol allows rsync to transfer just the dif- ferences between two sets of files across the network connection, using an efficient checksum-search algorithm described in the technical report that accompanies this package. Some of the additional features of rsync are: o support for copying links, devices, owners, groups and permis- sions o exclude and exclude-from options similar to GNU tar o a CVS exclude mode for ignoring the same files that CVS would ignore o can use any transparent remote shell, including ssh or rsh o does not require root privileges o pipelining of file transfers to minimize latency costs o support for anonymous or authenticated rsync servers (ideal for mirroring) okay... there IS a drawback ! RSYNC does use more processor power on the server tha FTP, but for the customers, its a life saver.. basically... lets say you have your website, there is one uploaded to your webserver, and one on your local machine that you work on / update. after working on your site, withthe current method, you have to find all the files you added or made changes to, and upload them individually.. but with rsync, you just set it running on your website directory, it automatically work oout what needs to be uploaded, and what doesnt. for big webpages / projects its PRICELESS ! 
I like the sites that have ssi capabilities and that have like 100 mb of space. (A free host like that) But it's hard to find lol. Ones that give out automatic access like with out applying for it are convienient though. Has anyone tried 1asphost? Has anyone actually got webspace from here?
i used to have hosting at 1asphost, until i learned php
 if you want a good webhost with instant activation, you should try 100webspace.com (you get a url like yoursite.everywebhost.com). i've got hosting with astahost (stickboarder.uni.cc) the only things i really need in a host is about 40-50mb webspace, a good amount of bandwidth, php and mysql
1asphost is a good host. -Reliability -100 mb's free space
-instant account -NOt a single ad on any page(sumtimes a popup on main pg.) -Two DrawBacks=Never have answeared a customer support query & low daily BandWidth!
I would like the option to host my domain. Not just subdomain.
Now that domain names are getting really cheap (even free), anyone can afford a domain. So why go to subdomain. And about ASP and PHP, my persoanl pick is PHP. More widely accepted and easy to program.
i believe that no free host will give you a free domain for now, except astahost, it has good offer of free domain name for group account
and uni.cc doesn't offer a domain it's a sub domain. i remember i've found a quality hosting, i think 2 years ago, it's offer instant acount, no banner, php asp and more, and a great deal if you got 20k visit/month you've got a free domain from them but it's gone now  after that i quit web design, and back again the name is brizland or something like that(can't remember the exact name since it's almost two years)
well people not to sound like a kiss up or anything but so far astahost is buy far the best i have came across it has a butt load of features and all u have to do is post now come on who can beat that really
Yea, that's right. Astahost's web hosting plan beats even after paid hosting plans with its host of features. The best is, you get all the features free just for contributing your knowledge here
If you want to look at a list of free hosts go here. http://www.free-webhosts.com/
Thats how I found out about astahost. They have lists of other free services such as free webspace, image space, dns services, etc. They also give reviews on each site too and ranks them according or their scores. Latest Entries

From the comments I've seen so far, it appears AstaHost has the goods and can deliver.
Freehosts are free... so what can you really ask for? If a free host has smtp access and maybe no banner I'm happy enough to be honest. Oh, and of course it has to support scripts
astahost is the best
One can find out more on php hosting on " www.0php.com/free_PHP_hosting.php " it gives a detail analysis of the webhost
I was wondering for a good free web host which allows php scripting . Astahost is really one of the best but the matter is that I need a host which allows proxy site if any one of you know please tell me . QUOTE(xip @ May 10 2006, 05:48 PM) I'm looking for a free web hosting in oder to place a little (very little) shop. I planned to do with osCommerce, as is the only shop I found is free. BUT, I can't find any free web hosting that gives php, mysql, password protection for the admin directory and no ads, or at least only a little bottom ad. Anybody have any idea or can help? Our very own host meets each and every of your criteria plus more. But our hosting isn't really FREE in the correct sense - as in you pay for it by maintaining a steady rate of posts on our forums. A little bit of your time every week - that's the price you pay. We've several such services under our ring (Xisto Corporation). Astahost is one of them - but your posts need to be as related to computing as possible and very informative and fact-filled, without beind SPAMs. On the other hand, our sister site Trap17.Com deals with the lighter side of life. Their forums are much easier to post to and thus maintain your hosting credits. They offer exactly same hosting plans as us. Your third option is Trap17.Net - where you get less features, but you don't need to post anywhere. That one is AD Supported - so an ad will be displayed on your site. Take your pick
