You get what you pay for.

There is no decent free host out there I know of. Hosting companies have to buy hardware. That ain't cheap and needs to be paid for somehow. Pay up and be happy.

Hardware is not the only issue. Bandwidth costs lots of money, especially if you have people hosting all kinds of warez and mp3s.

Also staffing, proper security, application development, sales/marketing, etc. Nothing is free.
