Does anybody know of a good webhost? I'm looking for one that has little/no popups, free, and lets me host files on it.

No pop ups but you cant have any file over 1 mb hosted there, also theres a million file extensions they wont host, like .mp3,.mov and even I think.zip, so its quite useless for hosting anything apart from your web pages and images, though I have kinda found a way through by streaming my audio from flash swf's from brinkster.
haha thats a laugh

Its really better just to buy space works out in the long run, I currently pay 90 dollars a month for myself, that includes the whole lot 300mb webspace and all. This is great for me because I always can upload something when I need to, I get fast speeds, unlimited people can visit my sites, as well I can sell space to people I know in my city.
You may say this is expensive, but it isnt, I am 16 years of age, I pump gas for 70 dollars a day.
I currently pay for webspace 90 dollars a month, and 3 MOH servers a 22 man a 16 and a 12 man
thos range from 60 to 120 dollars a month...
I pump gas three days a week, for 8 hours... and I easily pay for this no hassle no worries...

then buy a smaller plan maybe 20 mb or so and pay monthly, when you wish to stop your plan than you may do so and not be obligated to pay for it.
some free hosting site though are
www.geocities.com <--- in my opinion the best ones 20 mb of space, upload ne file, and only one add that can be closed.
www.speedis.org <--- image hosting
www.boomspeed.com <--- image hosting

Ah okay, I thought it was going to be temporarily, cu'z in that case I could have hosted your site on my server...
Im changing to a real host shortly, need more bandwith and speed...

OK do what I do. go to
www.angelfire.com and its FREE use it only for storing files such as .zip .rar and so on. But host your site on brinkster. Thats what I do.

i want to be able to host/showcase my mohaa maps, and possibly have info on other games, and probably include stuff relating to my 'real' life.

If you can pay $10 a month, I recommend olm.net
200Mb and they allow lots of files. Even mp3!!!!! Well, as long as you own the copyrights of the songs (which is my case; I'm a musician). I have game files there too, no problems.
