I'm looking for a free web hosting place with more disk space than spymac. Does anyone know what the story is with this one I found. I've found exactly one site set up with them on google, and exactly one posting in its user forum which is about account not being created.

Looks like spam.

Oh and "DomainsByProxy.com" helps keep whois info secret. Could be fine, but could also be bad.

They're trying the Tripod model. You have to show their text ads. I don't think that would be any good for a commercial site, but if you just want some where goof around on, why not?

If they display the ads inline, you could always write some Javascript to remove that node.
