hosting

It seems like every few years I end up changing host providers.. my prepaid service with my current provider is up in March, and while laughingsquid has been an excellent host, there are better plans for less money. They recently changed from allowing prepayment of several months at a time, for which they gave a discount in services, to charging monthly. to be honest it doesnt really make much financial sense for me to be paying for this site. I think I've made $9.00 in the past year that I've had the google ad on the right side of the page. oh well..
I'm looking for a free host now, the domain will stay the same, but if anyone knows of any good free-hosting providers please let me know. I will resort to blogspot if I need, but I’d rather not. I won't close this site, I really enjoy it, but I need some hosting options :)
