I would just like to inform everybody here that section5.net has finally been launched. Section5 is intended to be a small free hosting service that offers good support to its members.
Some of what we have on offer:
We will be requiring adds (though they are not yet in place), but we will give our users the option to choose between a number of add types (banner add, popup) that they can place on the main page of their sites, so they can select the add that they find least intrusive. We'd love to offer free hosting without adds, but unfortunatly it costs money to run the servers needed and we can't be expected to pay for these ourselves while other people use the resources.
Unfortunatly at this time we can only offer hosting to sites that have their own TLD, but we hope to get subdomain support up within about a week.
We welcome any comment and suggestions about our service, but please post these on our site support forums, as I don't think this is the place to discuss these matters.

Some of what we have on offer:
- 50 MB diskspace
- 2 GIGS of monthly transfer
- No file size limit or file type restrictions (as we intend to remain small we can keep a check on illegal files, so why punish the masses for the activities of the few)
- Php, mysql and cgi supported
- CPanel control panel for each account
- Many more features as listed on our site
