Founded in 2004, 50Webs.com is one of the few services to offer free websites without plastering ads on them. A free site includes 60 MB of disk space on a Linux server – hence, no Windows server features such as Front Page extensions. You also get unlimited bandwidth, one e-mail address and e-mail technical support. 50Webs has an integrated HTML editor to help you maintain your site. File uploads are limited to 300 kb, but most users say that's fine for small, simple sites. Features are limited, but users say what's offered really does work well. If you need more space or features consider stepping up to PolurNET.com (*est. $5 per month).

The handful of users reviewing 50Webs here give it top marks, saying it's fine for small, simple sites and that hosting works well. It doesn't include some fancy features, and may not be the easiest to use.
