I have found some useful platforms for serious web developers. They're free, too. There are paid options for upgrading your features.

Web hosting:
AwardSpace
Good host, active support.

Available features
CGI-BIN (Location of CGI/Perl files not specific, run anywhere)
Perl
MySQL databases (Not sure what is max. for free accounts)
PHP
Free [sub] domain
SSH Console
... + many more i forgot!


1host
CGI-BIN (Location of CGI/Perl files is usr/bin/perl i think... make the folder yourself)
Perl
MySQL databases (Not sure what is max. for free accounts)
PHP
SSH Console
Free [sub] domain
... + many more i forgot!

Ofcourse both come with ftp servers for use with FileZilla etc, see for yourself.


Web Apps:
Heroku (recommended)
Clean UI and stuff.

Node.js
Ruby
AWS free app hosting
... + many more i forgot!


Appfrog
Comes with alot of features, a bit hard to use/navigate. The reason i'd recommended Heroku is because of the outstanding UI. Don't get me wrong, Appfog's one is good, too. Just Heroku's stands out :)
Anyway, appfog has anything and everything, from all Java stuffs and all Node stuffs. Seriously some stuff even i'd never hear of, lol. As usual, free app hosting is available, too. AWS and stuff.

Enjoy, i hope ya'll found these useful :)
 
Dammit i have "last edited" OCD, it's been too long and i want something on the post to look neater, if i go edit it now it will say "Last Editted..." dammit! :(
 
By the way the web hosts i listed don't enforce Ads. Good for testing your sites before moving to Hetzner. 200th post, yaay.

Heroku is only free for 1 web dyno, and then you start paying tons fore more worker dyno's or web dyno's. And the addon bundles are hellishly expensive. So it hardly fits in the free category.

Why the fk would you host on heztner there are MUCH better hosts out there.
 
Award space is great. The only problem with their free accounts is that there is an upload limit of 1mb and sending messages through your website doesn't work. Other than that I've had no problems. Thanks for sharing.

Hetzner is great for running your own dedicated server, but their shared hosting is rubbish.
 
IIRC Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud also allows you to use a t1.micro for free for a year (or was it only a month?) when you create a new account.

You will need to pay if you use a AMI that requires a license, eg. Windows, but if you stick to Linux, FreeBSD you'll be good.
