In summary, some recommendations for a decent web host include looking for one with no ads or banners. Additionally, if you have broadband, you can turn your computer into a web server by installing apache. However, beware that some free hosting services may result in a subpar website and potential hacking. It may be better to invest in a paid hosting service.

What's the catch? I thought the idea of a free site and a site without ads were mutually exclusive.

the catch is that your site might suck if you don't know how to use their hosting service properly
