I know free is not the best option, but i am planning on upgrading eventually, once my family site is big enough.

Yes freewebs.com is generally good for up-time and usability. It doesn’t offer FTP support for free sites, butit does for premium members. Not many major sites will offer FTP to free users, but I know t35.com does (I use it since it has a free PHP client) and it supports FTP.

You more than likely have 20 to 100mb of Personal Webspace with your ISP. I have 25 MB with Cox Cable and I use the FireFTP addon with FireFox to up load my pages.

I use http://www.aqsite.info.
They offer amazing free hosting which in my opinion is better than some paid services I have seen in the past. You have free access to all the options you would ever want (MySQL, PHP, Perl, FTP, postgresql, custom error pages, the list goes on and on). You do need a domain name though so make sure you have one. Send them an email and ask for the free plan, its worth it.
Good luck!

I’ve been with Freehostia.com for a while now without complaint. I believe you can have up to 5 subdomain names and you can upload files via FTP or the web.
Freewebs.com is another good one.
For the “community” based site, I’d also recommend Zoomshare.com. It has some good features, including a photo gallery, chat room option, and WYSIWYG editor.
The first two are ad-free, but Zoomshare has a banner ad at the top of the page (it’s not that bad actually).
