Theres loads of them on the net, I'm sure about the cjb one, but you can on all of the others. Also, I think cityslide has stopped taking new members. (angelfire and geocities are the best ones).
Once you have the domain name, you can use 'domain forwarding' to use that domain name for any site anywhere, even a free host one.
That's the only one I know of that's free.
its free and you have it like
www.yourname.vze.com
technically thats a sub-domain <IMG SRC="tongue.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Buy one, honestly its not expensive and you won't be subject to pop-ups or advertisements... and even if your not too bothered, you'll find they do bother everyone else who visit your site <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Your domain can be hosted anywhere on any webspace, alternativly you can use whats called DNS fowarding (ie. yourdomain.net > geocities.com/somewhere/toolong/ ) and if required you can create this within a frame so it appears to be hosted by the domain <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
You sure? I signed up for a netfirms site last month, totally free. *frowns*
