Thanks Jeremy, good to know that in advance. I guess pretty much any free hosting site (such as BitBalloon as mentioned by the OP) will do for hosting TW files, as long as they are named index.html, and as long as the host doesn't add their own advertising that somehow breaks the javascript of the TW core. For personal TW projects like mine, there often isn't a budget at all for hosting, so reliance on free hosting becomes a necessary evil.
