Saved me the trouble of typing it out.
I think any sponsor screwing with this is likely to be wasting their time and money. As a service, it's not going to be aimed at the kind of affiliates you want -- the ones building for the long haul.
This really made me laugh though:

Free hosts are getting a bad name lately because of shady practices.

That's been true since as long as I've been in the business. The very first time I posted on this board in 2002, it was with a question about free hosting, and the answer I got was advice to stay the hell away. It was good advice, too. Free hosts have <b>never</b> been reliable or safe, and they always end up screwing the people that relied on them. Even the ones run in all honesty eventually die or change business models to the detriment of the people who built sites on them.
