You can try google-pages, too. It's usually restricted to predefined templates, but you can upload your own html files to skip that limitation.

Edit: If you don't mind having an ugly URL.

the only one I know of is Godaddy.com if you watch an episode of Diggnation you can get a coupon for a discount.

I use 3essentials.com for my hosting. 400GB xfer and 6GB of storage for 6/mo (less if you pay in advance). Servers are available as Windows or Linux, depending on what you're comfortable with, and both support PHP and ASP.

They've worked well for me for the last couple of years.
