I'd like a decent amount of free web space from a service that WON'T turn my site into an assault on my visitors' senses. i.e., no flashy banners. Google text ads are fine, IMO, but anything more is just unacceptable.
I realize, of course, that it's not easy to offer free services (of any kind) that don't give way too much power to advertisers. Something's gotta pay the bills, after all. But it doesn't change the fact that that's what I'd like. 25-50MB of storage for whatever I want with a liberal amount of bandwidth (preferably unlimited, of course, but that's expecting too much) would be swell.
I'd also be willing to pay for such a service, although if I were paying I'd want at least 100MB, virtually unlimited bandwidth, and of course no ads. Actually, I was planning on signing up for macosx.com's web hosting, but now that's been suspended.
It's hard to offer good services that are cheap (let alone free). Such is the nature of the world. *sigh*
