What is the most feature rich, ad-less, free web hosting service available on the internet?

Question

Pretty simple question. Looking for recommendations for setting up a free website and having the best answer voted up.

• All platforms and programming languages included.
• I value a powerful programming environment over everything else

Thanks

Note:

I'm asking this question for somebody else, I'd personally just pay dreamhost or linode and make sure I'm getting quality service. So please don't just tell me to pay somebody because I know. I'm asking for the sake of asking.

Answer 1

I suggest www.awardspace.com

Basic PHP/MySQL with 500 MiB disk space and 10 MiB database quota. Traffic 5 GiB/month.

Answer 2

Google Sites. ad-less, free, but not so flexible. However, by using gadgets, you can get around many of the limitations on site design.

Answer 3

Freehostia have a "Chocolate" plan that's free and has no ads. See here for the complete list of features.

I'm on a paid plan myself, and it's not too bad considering how much you pay. However, there have been several times when my website has been down, and I would like to see more Apache modules installed on their servers.

Answer 4

Don't be cheap. All the free stuff is lame or a pain.

Host yourself or use godaddy or dreamhost
