There are dozens if not hundreds of free web hosting accounts each with their own set of features from which to choose. Thus far, the one that I find best is X10hosting. Here’s why:

• Sub-domain URL = “mysite.x10hosting.com”
• Up to 2.5GB of Disk Space
• Up to 45 GB of Bandwidth
• cPanel
• FTP
• Free Subdomains
• No Advertisements

The terms are a bit strict with this account. Only one person is allowed to use the account. For example, if a web designer sets up the account for a client, the client is not supposed to edit files or upload files in addition to the web designer’s work. Proxy, file hosting, and image hosting sites are not allowed to be hosted.

There’s one significant disadvantage with x10hosting with the Inactivity policy.

Accounts found to be inactive are suspended for a 10-day period and then terminated. All data including any type of backup or stored information is removed with the account. To prevent an account from being suspended for inactivity it is required users visit the x10Hosting forums located at http://forums.x10hosting.com at least ONCE every TWO WEEKS. Accounts must also have a working website within one week.
