What would you guys recommend for a free place to post my website(s)? I've been to geocities and all that, but I want to know what you guys think is the best.
Thanks.
I've so far had a good experience with
www.portland.co.uk. Their free service is quite good, and it's easy (apparently) to upgrade bandwidth limits and/or buy your own domain.
There's a little more downtime than I would like, but it's fast when it works.
Supports PHP, CGI, mySQL, SSI, etc... only FTP for transfer.
Then why is your site on angelfire?

Cause I haven't had the time to actually change it over and set up mySQL pages. I could just copy the whole bloody thing, but I'd rather wait until I can get a proper blog and screenie db working. Might be a pipe dream tho, cause I haven't heard back from the portland people yet about my mySQL password... so that's a fly in the soup for that host.
I don't know what's up with piranho, since I never use it, but it's free and I think it has lots of space... It only supports standard HTML though, and has a single upload dialog..... but whatever
::EDIT::
I forgot to add it's in German...
portland: 100mb bandwidth??? :???:

Yeah, I'll be leaving downloads and large images on Angelfire.
But there's no ads, and it's easy to buy bandwidth.
RST: Depends really on what you mean is good.
I bought a years' worth of 200 MB storage 5 GB transfer 50 email address, PHP, CGI, mySQL UNIX hosting for $30 USD.
But that's paid hosting. Free? The best that you're ever going to find is maybe 50 MB CGI, PHP, 1 GB transfer. And I don't even know where you're going to find that. Actually, Brinkster.com offers similar to that for free, but (of course) you can't upload anything larger than 1 MB.
If you're going to go with free hosting, though, go to Brinkster. And paid? long4net.com.
Or.... mooch off of someone

$30 for that? Not bad. Maybe I'll try it. By "good" I meant you get decent storage, supports at least some stuff beyond basic HTML (and doesn't mess with the HTML you upload), and doesn't overwhelm people with pop-ups (can you say "freeservers.com"?).
Oh yeah... and has basic features like tracking stats, etc.
