A:
Bugzilla works great. It's completely free, open source, it's very configurable, and is very well-tested, being used in several large commercial products as their bugtracker with good results.
Note: I mentioned Bugzilla instead of a hosted solution because you asked for a tracking project for a web project; inherently, if your users are accessing a web site for testing, they can access Bugzilla; if you can deploy a web site for testing, you can deploy Bugzilla. Deploying your own custom Bugizlla solution is surprisingly quick and simple, and you can manage security better since you have total control.

I hate Bugzilla's user interface.

@Ionut: that's the nice thing about open source; you can customize the UI to your heart's content to look like something nicer if you want.

I don't agree with the comment above. True it is customizable but it boils down to how your time is spent best. Are you actually going to spend your developers' time customizing a tool or focus on whatever your core business is? There is a hidden cost here that's always being overlooked.

I used track on an old project and loved it. Now I don't use it at all and really miss it...

A:
if you're planning to install one on your server, I'd recommend redmine
if you want some online service, give assembla a try
(i'm not sure if it's still free...)

A:
BugTracker.NET is decent. It's free, open-source, and web-based.
One thing we've found is that the *.aspx page are single pages... meaning no separate code behind! This isn't terrible, it just means the readability/customizability is a little lower than others.

A:
Tried trac and Bugzilla and found not-so-userfriendly, over designed and complicated.
Go for Redmine. Cant say enough good stuff about this software. Might be best for smaller projects, but still works on a large scale.
