I strongly disagree that 000webhost is in any way comparable to NeoCities. Reasons:
000webhost has a complaint list long enough to circle 8 city blocks. NeoCities doesn't randomly delete sites or secretly try to funnel to paid services. It offers one service instead, and it's free. Considering the creator's goals, this is ideal.
ATM, 000webhost caps bandwidth for the free package which NeoCities doesn't.
Rather than providing everything including the kitchen sink and have it patched together poorly, NeoCities offers something very simple very well.
I consider NeoCities to be Twitter to 000webhost's Facebook.

I put some college websites up on 000webhost before and they are still there. I didnt have any issues. I know this is just anecdotal evidence of my personal experience.
When I was checking out neocities about page http://neocities.org/about It seems the business model is to pay for the server space with only donations. I was concerned that this service might not last so long.
If the resources are kept in check and the infrastructure is maintained in a sane manner, there's no reason why the service can't work well on donations alone. It's no Wikipedia after all, and certainly serving static pages would require far less overhead than server-side scripting (of course, this excludes logins/sessions, but considering how simple the backend is and sessions are limited there, it shouldn't require too much overhead either).
And I don't think the creator feels this is a "business" in any way. It's more like an ambitious hobby/public service.
