Hosted With.US - Free web hosting paid for by obnoxious ads
Hosted With.Us is a free web hosting that vies you 100GB of storage and 100GB of monthly bandwidth absolutely free. If that sounds too good to be true, here's the catch: You have to include a Hosted With.Us footer on any web page you create. That wouldn't be so bad, but the footer includes an absolutely obnoxious advertisement. You know, those ads that ask if you'd like to meet lonely girls living in your neighborhood? Yeah, that's what popped up when we built our test site. And while it's possible the ads rotate, we kept getting that same annoying ad over and over.
If you can live with the ads, Hosted.With.Us does deliver on its promise. While most free web hosts like Blogger, LiveJournal, or WordPress give you a limited set of tools for creating and managing a web page, Hosted With.Us gives you all the tools you'd need to build a professional looking web site. You can associate your account with any Domain name or use the username.hostedwith.us name that comes with your account. And users can upload and modify files via FTP or a web interface. You can install a WordPress blog, a forum, or pretty much anything else you'd like.
The service does let you do away with the footer altogether for $2.95 per month, or $1.95 per month if you pay for 6 months in advance.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

110mb has a bunch of limitations. You can't use phpMyAdmin, Joomla, Mambo, or VBulletin, for example. No such restrictions with Hosted With.US.
But 110mb does look interesting. I'm checking it out and I might write a follow up post about it.

Frihost is a better alternative. It's a full service *free* web host, which provides standard web hosting (php/chron/etc etc). Rather than placing the ads on user sites, the ads live on the Frihost community forums on which users have to take an active part. It's not a bad community, and taking part in the forum is a small price to pay for a full service hosting solution.
