Freehosts
There are several free hosting companies which will support an installation but they have a lot of advertising, and are not recommended. For an overview of webspace hosters offering both PHP and MySQL and user experiences with hosting a galaxytool you can look at the table of hosting providers and the Galaxytool.
Official hosting offer by eX0du5
