http://www.a-host.info/
Requires 10 posts in the forum
Smallest package:
Space: 100MB
Bandwidth: 1000MB
MySql: 10
Email accounts: 25
Parked Domains: 5
Addon Domains: 5
Uptime: 99% guaranteed (100% achieved in May)

This was the first free host I used. At first everything was fine, I posted 10 times, applied for my account, and got it ready within 2 hours of applying for it.
Then I had a little trouble logging in, and the problem was solved within 1 and a half hours.
I used the host for 16 days without any trouble. Then the admin asked everyone to update their contact information. Despite me doing this, my account was deleted. But it was recreated within 2 days with my account information included and it was claimed that everything was backed up, but, in fact, I did lose some files there, which meant I had to reupload my own backups. I have it finally working, for something like 20 days and I haven't had any more trouble.
Their uptime guarantee was very nice, and it's true, that host never went down while I was there.
Forums there are very active, and you can usually find someone to help you with your problems, but there are only a few serious posters, the rest seem to post with careless abandon on anything under the sky.

Conclusion: Good uptime, decently fast server, very quick activation, support's a bit lacking.

Did you know that the Admin there checks EVERY site MANUALLY to see whether they have updated content?

Argie

Wow, that's interesting. He must be very dedicated, huh?

~andrew~

He is not alone, he has good staff that perform checks of the sites for him.

It is just one of those things that needs to be done.

I agree, but there will always be spammers, no matter what forum.

I don't know where you got that from, it would be nice but it's not true. You need 10 post to apply for either of the two free hosting packages they offer.
