Not sure I understand what you mean by setup fee. There are no fees for joining the Google AdSense program.

Maybe you're referring to Google Adwords?

No you cannot join the program with a free web page. If you bought a domain they would probably let you in depending on your site.

From the FAQ:

You may only place the AdSense ad code or WebSearch code on sites... that you own or are legally authorized to act on behalf of for the purposes of Google AdSense.

Unfortunately the latter clause takes a concept that is reasonably clear and turns it into something that is about as clear as mud. What is a "site"? What does "legally authorized" mean? What does "for the purposes of Google AdSense" imply?

Anyway, from what I have seen, Google's interpretation of this is that you have to own or control the entire domain in order to run AdSense on it. That means any free host would not be allowed.

alika, i'm pretty sure it was running adsense about a week and a half ago. Maybe google took care of the issue already

... which only proves the point that G does not allow Adsense to run in free hosted sites. Unscrupulous publishers may first put the code in free hosted sites, but G will soon catch up with them.
