How to set up a website for free

Do they accept Indian debit cards or net banking ?

Yup.

Hosting 5 domains with them and completely satisfied.

FYI...I booked 2 .in domains from Mitsu.in and asked for the free web hosting packages..10mb space with 100mb bandwidth.
The domains were activated instantly, and the hosting packs were activated today, about 8-9 days after registration.

But in the meantime I saw this page : Free Webspace and Free Web Hosting Services
They've got a list of pages where you can host your website for free, most with 100mb+ web space and some with unlimited bandwidth.
Edit 1-Just signed up for 2 hosting accounts on : http://www.instantfreesite.com/
Both got activated instantly.

Unlimited space, bandwidth.
Seems good...looks like they just started up.

Edit2 - opened up the control panel, and it seems that though everything is unlimited, they only allow 20 concurrent connections. What does this mean? Is this number unreasonably low? For a new site with not too much content yet, is that an okay limit, or should I be worried?

Well, got the hosting information today at last...!!

most free hosts don't allow running scripts on their servers. Like the php function mail for contact forms etc. For basic use, bytehost is good along with a co.cc domain.

Well, most of the free hosting sites I saw not only allow you to run scripts, but they give you access to cms, bbs, shopping carts, sql databases etc.
