    Hi, I need a FREE host that you consider to be the best and could it be as close to these specs as possible:

    at least two mysql databases
    PHP (any version)
    As much monthly transfer as possible
    at least 200MB of space
    No adds
    Domain
    FTP

    and thats about it.

    Have you tried freehostia.com or 000webhost.com?

    They are both free, and seem to have a nice plan specs. I'm not sure about the ads though.

    Yer word of warning I would never use 000webhost again. loads of down time, poor custome service, and have a large reputation for deleting accounts without warning after about a year for now aparrent reason (without backup).

    Which also happened to me :(

    Anyway I will just take a look at freehostia.com.

    IMHO, you'd better register a cheap web hosting. At least you will have some support and reliabiliy.

    For what you want, I'd look into cheap hosting as well. I recommend HostGator. But I will stay on topic. Webs is pretty good, although idk if they have all of those features. Most likely, though.
