Hi, I don't know what you think about this, but paid hosting for free is my favorite one.
I've found a free contest here some days ago, and it offers a free domain name + 1 year hosting, you can still join:
FREE Domain Name and 1 Year Web Hosting Contest | Michael Aulia - Technology and Reviews
Oh, and anyone knows anything about this hosting he mentiones? -->think411.com
it's not free, so I guess it can'T be bad, but maybe someone has previous experiences with them...
