yes, mapserver would be my first choice for a free "host your own" web-based
spatial data server. it has many options that allows you to be pretty flexible
in how you build out your front-ends ("simple", WMS, tiled, etc.). it's
community is pretty active & by & large friendly. there's even a pretty good
mapserver CFC around (though based on a fairly old version of mapserver).
my 2nd choice (but not that far behind mapserver) would be geoserver:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Welcome
being java based it has some interesting hooks for cf developers. has web-based
management, an active community, excellent docs & seems to improve pretty
regularly. if you do go this route, you should also have a look at geowebcache:
http://geowebcache.org/
if you can get your spatial data into KML, google maps, especially now that it
has a flex API, would be a nice choice as well. having somebody else manage the
data, etc. is usually not a bad idea.
if you can meet their license restrictions:

you also might consider ESRI's arcGIS online:

their flex API is pretty nifty & after all ESRI's the granddaddy of GIS. but be
aware that ESRI tends to ping-pong about w/their "free" services. a good
resource for the flex API is
