I see so many free hosting threads on freebie sections, but never quite figure out what people do with such small allocation of space and bandwidth. So, what do RFD'ers use the free hosting spaces for?

I'm interested because of two reasons:
1) I have a spare server with resources available to go around, but need to know what the space will be used for to know for sure whether or not I'll need to pay extra attention.
2) I am also interested to start new sites to make use of my resources.

Depends on what's allowed. Can be a homepage or a small community forum. Or personal storage for files. Or filesharing.

Most free offers I've seen are small, like around 2G space at most, and only a few G of bandwidth, so file sharing is definitely out of the question. Community forums might make sense.

I'm concerned about hosting people using mulled scripts or spam or alike. I wonder if any of the hosting providers can chime in on the ratios of those?
