Free website hosting without ads?

[Ed_Flecko]

Does anyone know of a free hosting provider that (hopefully) doesn't pepper the visitors with ads?

I have a tiny website I'd like to create (less than 50Mb at the most), but I do need php functionality.

Any recommendations?

Your own computer and high speed always on internet connection.?

i host my own.
it's easy and don't need a powerful system.
if you can PHP and html5 then you can build one. LAMP server. or even just install apacheII on windows. (yuck)

That's funny you said that; I thought about buying a Soekris appliance, installing FreeBSD with Apache in a jail and doing it myself. I still might.

The PHP requirement is going to be tough; and tough for someone to provide for free sans ads.

Google Sites can use Google App Engine for dynamic sites but that is Python.

Amazon has (I think!) a "free" tier for their EC2 virtual computing, so you might be able to set up an entire minimal LAMP OS (they have CentOS and Debian and Ubuntu and the usual suspects as options) and serve everything using Amazon S3 storage for pennies a month.

Some domain registrars toss in some low-spec shared hosting with the registration of a domain name, and those usually include a MySQL database and PHP.

A Google search for "free web host php no ads" returned a small number of not-sleazy-looking companies; but trust - both in terms of my data and their stability - would be enough of a factor for me that I'd look at something less elegant (like hosting from home) before using anyone else.
