http://www.100webspace.com

100 mb space, 3000 mb bandwidth each month.
Supports stuff like PHP to.

Other then trying to find a webhosting, why not turn your computer into one?

http://www.apache.org.

Have fun setting that up :)

Unlimited Space and bandwidth for FREE. :D

If you want to upload files larger than 1MB, you need to use an FTP client.

The long version.

The short version: Something that a webhost would brag about having in order to get you to use them. If you're going to have a website large enough to require database management like that, you're better off using a serious webhost or your own server.

Considering the fact that all web servers are simply just computers with large chunks og memory and harddisk space with a fast internet connection, it isn't that big of a stretch to run a server on your own computer. Although I would suggest you run it on a dedicated computer. On a Linux box. You don't need a real powerhorse to run it, since it probably doesn't have to deal with much traffic. My server is on my own box at home, so...yeah...it's not too hard to setup.
