Erm this may not be exactly what you're after, kind of depends what you want.

I use a little proggy called no-ip (www.no-ip.com). It's free and creating your own website with WHATEVER name you want (as long as it's not taken) is FREE. ALSO you no NOT need to pay your service provider for a static IP address.

no-ip turns your computer (at home) into an internet server itself & the no-ip website automatically resolves your selected website name to the dynamic IP of your PC. Using your PC as a web server means that you can use WHATEVER web services YOU want for FREE. (I use Apache for my website itself - when I can be arse to run it that is)

Oh, and another thing, the amount of webspace you can have is limited purely by the available disk space on your PC, i.e. HUNDREDS of megabytes - again for FREE.

The only down side is that you (obviously) have to keep your PC on all the time.

The cool thing about this (for others reading) is that before I go to work, I fire up my PC & clickiity click no-ip into life, turn off the monitor & sod off to work. When I'm at work & in a lull period, I CAN REMOTE DESKTOP my PC at HOME from WORK. Ha!!!! No more restriced websites & site monitoring - Who-hoo! (Oh, that's only as long as someone else, e.g. the bloody wife - isn't using the PC as well)
