Maybe start with a little history. I've been making music, graphics and words for about 7 years. Two years ago I started putting the best things on my site. The site kept getting bigger because I also made it available for other artists. Total size was almost 20 MB. It had program, zip, mp3, text and HTML files (all legal). I had CGI scripts for a blackboard and guestbook. Because of the long URL, I signed up with a subdomain redirect. And then I changed from ISP. Because the old site had to go I decided to have a tabula rasa and rebuild the complete site and artwork.
I've been searching than one month now, and still I didn't find the right server. http://www.syanet.com/ looked promising because of the possibility to integrate the ad. But they have to restructure.
So I'm still looking for a host with a subdomain. Ads are allowed, but they must have some 'elegance' (not like NBCI). And I would like to have the same service back.
Do I really have to pay for it?

I'm not sure whats going on with syanet and im not sure the owner does either since he keeps posting on another forum asking about forcing ads. So maybe syanet might stay free.

I've recently discovered Freedom2surf, are they an alternative? I've read there TOS and it looked promising.
Because I'm new at this the next question may sound silly, but if I buy a domainname, is it possible to connect it to a free service?

Yes but to use your domain with F2s for free youll need to use a forwarding service.

Freewebsite will host your domain and also give you 50mb of web space, ftp and ssi.
I had been with them for half a year or more and they were up all the time. They also offer one popup only ads (only on index.html).
