I'm starting a website and was wondering what my best bet is for free webhosting. I know there are a bunch of crap places like geocities and angerlfire but I remember stumbling across a site that provided free hosting with no ad banners and a bunch of storage space. Does anyone know of such a place? What is my best option?

the best ones are obviously pay for space which sucks

If you want to make a decent webpage with no pop-ups or banner ads, you'll probably end up having to pay. If you don't really give a crap (like me), Geocities or Freeservers work OK.

Don't any of you junior members read humph he says if it's for winamp related stuff it's free, or just straight personal stuff.
I have 20 mbs to set up for use [I may be able to arrange more if there's enough interest!!]

That's true. Well I'll admit that I pay Freeservers $5.95 a month just to store certain files and link to images, so I get FTP usage there.

May be a tad slow some times but their service pretty much doesn't have any restrictions relating to file types/stuff.

i've not yet had a problem beyond external image linking with freewebs (http://www.freewebs.com). there's a tiny little bit of tracking code (check out my website) but other than that, it's ad-free.

If you like the idea of free CGI hosting/scripting as well (I know I do), try www.************* . They put a few banners on your pages, but the CGI hosting more than makes up for it.
