I need some help, I currently have my site posted with bravehost (if you don't know the service best stay away cause they're loaded with banners and pop ups) I want people to take my site seriously and need a good realiable FREE webhost with FTP...

So let me know...

Thanks ahead of time to everyone with intellegent answers

Most of the free webhosting programs display banners and popups to make the cost.

Try BlueVoda or Godaddy for a nominal amount and you can host a lot of sites for one hosting account.

If you want people to take you seriously, you should just pay for hosting. I know that if you find a good coupon for http://dreamhost.com, hosting will only cost you about $20 a year. Plus you can host unlimited sites, have around 200GB of storage... it's worth it.

The sites listed above are pretty good but in my opinion x10hosting.com has some of the best. Though as the person above me said (forgive i dont look at names) if you want to be taken seriously go paid. Their cheapest plan i believe is $5.95 monthly though i think bluvoda has a way better one for like $6.95 or so last time i checked, which was a few days ago.
