Since you're going the PHP route, you should have a look at http://phpfog.com for hosting. They offer 6 months free hosting. You'll also get exposure to source control via Git and scaling which they assist you with.

Yes, but it only took a day or two for me to get an invite to the Beta after signing up. And I think if you sign up and refer 2 people you get in immediately (although they might have removed this by now).

It might be stupid to ask, but isn't there any limits on usage?

No, you are just limited to one app and instance at a time. But this should be more than enough to host your average website that gets a couple thousand hits a week.

From the FAQ (not sure if you can access it without being logged in though):

"Will you offer a free version of hosting?

Yes. You get one free application with one instance for 6 months. If you have one app that is using the free instance, you can delete it and you'll be able to create another free one to replace it."
