Hello. I am Shekhar and I have my webite currently hosted with 50Webs.com
Here's the deal.
Merits:
1. Free domain hosting (TLDs like mydomain.com, through DNS only)
2. Free subdomain hosting (like subdomain.50web.com)
3. No forced advertising.
4. Unlimited bandwidth (you read that correctly!).
5. Good storage quota - 60MB.
6. FTP access as well as HTTP upload.
7. POP3 email account.
8. Full control of website.
9. Unlimited subdomains (like subdomain.mydomain.com).
10. Unlimited virtual domains in single account.
11. No limit on the number of letters of subdomain.
12. Domains activated within an hour of registration.
13. Subdomains activated instantly.
14. Subdomain changing allowed.
15. Image hosting allowed.
16. Mp3 hosting allowed (as long as no copyrights are infringed)
17. Fairly fast Linux servers.
18. Good uptime.
19. Flash and JavaScript allowed.
Demerits:
1. Filesize limit - 300KB (enforced for all filetypes - even mp3s)
2. No support for server-side programming such as PHP, Perl (CGI directory), ASP, JSP, etc. (Planned for future).
3. No support for databases such as MySQL, Access databases, etc.
4. No online website builder (yet). (Planned for future).
5. Frontpage extensions not supported (who needs them anyway?).
6. No webmail service (yet).
7. No authenticated SMTP - cannot send mail, can only recieve it.
8. No hotlinking from external sites - only hyperlinking allowed.
9. No archive hosting allowed.
I'd say that as long as 50Webs sticks to the above, its the best host for static websites like my personal website.
I liked their package so much that I voluntarily put an big image link to 50Webs that occupies 120x60 pixels at the top left corner of every page on my site (in the hope that they wouldn't consider forcing ads on pages in future).
