I used to use tripod hosting, it seemed ok for testing.

I'd suggest using a prepacked server with php/mysql/etc and run it locally. Helps for testing/learning a lot easier than remote servers. I use XAMPP from apachefriends. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html.

Its not for running actual sites but for testing. Its generally easier to work on/modify local pages that having to upload/run and check logs for errors. Packages like the XAMPP make it really easy, nice installer and just one click turns it on or off.
