a full www.com web hosting only costs about $12/month, along with about $1/year to register a domain. Is that really too much? if so, it will have to be something other than www.com.

It would be best if you go for a registered domain + paid web hosting.

Anyway, you can try http://www.dot.tk/en/pageA00.html and other sites which are similar to it. But you will get a .tk at the end of your domain name, and also lots of ads. Google .tk sites, go through them and you will know whether you will be happy with them or not.

The best free hosting I've ever found is Heliohost (heliohost.org). You get all the stuff like MySQL, and PHP, and there's no ads. However, they have had a lot of down time recently. I started out using them but switched to paid hosting when I got annoyed with the down time. The paid host I use is dreamhost (dreamhost.com), and they are pretty awesome. A year with them is $119, but with my account I was able to create a promo code that gets you $80 off. If you're interested the promo code is TECHPOWERUP.

My brother used x10 hosting and one of my friends use it. They always seem to be restarting the server and without warning.

I used www.astahost.com before I bought my hosting. It's good but you have to post on the forum to get hosting credit.
