Virtualave (http://www.virtualave.net) Pop-up or banner ad, your choice.
20MB space. CGI. SSI. Good FTP. Good speed. This is where I host the
Unofficial Stargrunt II Web Site (http://stargrunt.virtualave.net). No
messy subdirectory rules.

There's also Hypermart (http://www.hypermart.net), these two are
essentially the same, however Hypermart is for business use only.

Angelfire.com has decided to require ("force") sites to have
either pop-ups or banner ads, so I guess it's time to find a
new home.

This is of general OT interest and quite on topic for GZG based sites, having
run several sites my picks would be

Homestead http://www.homestead.com weird requirements for index page
and I can't get ftp to work, but seems a good service, 12Mb space but you can
have multiple accounts on same user name, no advertising, medium speed (rating
****)

Crosswinds http://www.crosswinds.net unlimited space, good
ftp support, banner ads, glacially slow (rating **)

Xoom http://xoom.com unlimited space,  small frame adverts , lots of
free stuff, ftp, medium speed (rating ***)

YMMV
