My needs are very simple but I have some specific preferences and I'd like to know if there are any well-known, stable services that do what I want.

Space: doesn't have to be much, say 5 mb (more, better)

Fast

As few ads as possible, unobstrusive single banner preferred over pop-up windows

Interface: I don't know how to do FTP, all I've used before was a browser window where I paste in the HTML from notepad

subdomain preferred, simple address perferred

Last time I looked, Geocities only had the vertical one on the right. They used to allow banner placement...:rolleyes:
