You say that Lycos free hosting is crap...what do you expect, from a free host? You hardly have the right to complain if you aren't paying anything.
The general rule of thumb is, if you want a good quality, fast, reliable server then be prepared to pay for it. You can get small web hosting packages for less than $5 a month, a budget most can afford I think..

I would suggest you install xampp lite on your local computer windows/linux and create virtual servers. You can then install scripts, host websites for development, create databases, etc just like with a webhosting account. Search on google for xampp lite virtual servers.
