I had to retype this message (Why does Mozilla have to open new websites in the currently open tab? WHY? Gah), so it's shorter than it would have been. >(

These are some good hosts:

http://nic.nac.wdyn.de - Slow, you have to send the guy a password, and some Unix/Linux experience is recommended. However, you get a full shell account with unlimited server space (but no files over 1MB), there are no ads, and you even get a MySQL database (on request). You'll need a Windows SSH (Secure Shell) client to use it; most people recommend PuTTY, but I prefer the client available from http://www.ssh.com/support/downloads/secureshellwks/ non-commercial.html; it has file transfer (in other words, you can upload your files over SSH) and is easier to use. The postcard is well worth it. =)

http://www.prohosting.com - Unreliable, has ads, is a total pain to set up, and every now and then will send you emails that you don't want. Usually works, though, and you don't have to send them anything.
