Thanks for asking!
I have located the following services that offer sub-domain hosting,
either without advertising or with pop-up type advertising. Most
advertiser supported hosts offer upgrade (at a monthly or yearly
charge) to remove advertising.

PROPER COMFY WEB HOSTING | *Ad Free*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ProperComfy says it better than I can:
"...ProperComfy, a swingin' free web hosting community. Using a shared
Red Hat Linux box, with virtual web servers, we are offering free
bannerless (no ads) web hosting (domains or subdomains), but first you
must pass the ProperComfy Screening ProcessŪ. Due to the large number
of web hosting requests received, we are sadly unable to reply to each
and every one. However, exceptional proposals will be rewarded with a
free web hosting account.
What constitutes a good hosting request, I hear you bellow. Well, here
are some hints: be polite, be funny, give your full name, tell us
about yourself, tell us whether you own a domain name or need a
subdomain (i.e. subdomain.propercomfy.co.uk). We're also suckers for
pretty design, so URLs to previous work or screenshots of your
proposed site are welcome. Most importantly though, tell us about the
proposed content of your site and why the web-heads will want to visit
in their hordes.
If after reading this drivel (and the FAQ), you still feel like
joining our pitiful little band, then you may submit a request for
hosting via the contact form (below-right)."
