I am part of the One World Style staff , a local Dj Shop and we have been around for about 7 years now and we have finaly decided to go online and attempt to setup a shop on the net. We have looked around at other sites mainly yahoo and a few others but their hosting cost is too high , we are a small shop but we are a local shop and do not have that much funds for an online shop yet. We have a website but due to the limited space we have had to bring it down to about 2-3 pages. We will gladly have a banner and a footlink of our host. we are looking for something like this:

about 100 megs space
at least 5 gigs of bandwith
eCommerce tools
php
mySQL
Java
CGI
this is our current website
One World Style (http://www.oneworldstyle.com)

I doubt you'll get that now for free since most freehosts are tightening up or just flat out dead now. However one that's been around for years that *might* suit your needs is

When it comes to money, and actual buying and selling, I'd be very careful about choosing a free web host.

If you actually start to make money, consider moving to a paid host as soon as possible.

Can you imagine if you start losing sales because of a free host's downtime or poor mail server, etc? That translates into lost money.

Save pennies, and lose dollars isn't a good business plan.
