Free (or really cheap) Web Hosts
 
So, does anybody know of good free (or low cost) web hosts (preferably that have cgi-bin support)? When I try and search for them in search engines, most of what I get is "free hosting, as long as you pay $35 to register a domain name with us." I know of the following:
www.spaceports.com
www.angelfire.com
www.tripod.com
www.geocities.com

I hate Lycos (angelfire and tripod), and geocities doesn't look too appealing to me. I don't know what is going to happen with the sublime spaceports, cause they have been having financial difficulties for the past several months.

Well, I am not planning on moving my site just yet. I really like spaceports. I am just trying to be prepared in case they go under. How much web space do they give you? You could email or private message me if you don't want everyone and their brother to know.

Here's another host that might be good:
www.t35.com/

Ok, www.t35.com is good if you don't have any files larger than 150 KB. As I do, it is not a good site for me.

So, anybody want to offer up any good free web hosts that they've seen? I don't want to move my site. What I need is to find one or more free hosts that will work as mirror servers for the Image Modpack.

Currently, the full Image ModPack is 10.6 MB in size (without including any patch files). So, to keep up with it's growth, at least 15 MB, but more would be better.

The patches usually very from 2.5 MB to 4 MB or so. So, a good web host with 5 MB of storage could be used as a mirror for the patches.

Preferably, any web host used for this would allow off-site file/image links, although this is not strictly necessary.

Um... you can also place the Image ModPack in PBW's download area, if you wish. That's free http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
