I knew that Wikispaces wasn't that customizable, but I missed the part where you could get it for K-12 ad-free. I've updated the original post. (And yours looks great, by the way!) I did mention on WetPaint that you can get it ad-free if you meet certain criteria, but they had a lengthy paragraph about all the conditions you had to meet, so I didn't post the whole thing. Good to know that they accept post-secondary, though! Also interesting to note, while some of these other services require some sort of proof or an application process to get the ads removed for educational purposes, pbWiki just lets you choose 'education' and you're done!

Also, how is it less customizable than the other hosted services. I've been able to customize mine quite well at http://eci831.wikispaces.com As for Wet Paint, I'd add that it's the only hosted service that provides ad-free sites for K-12 AND post-secondary.
