Go to the URL of their name servers and see what is there.

I don't understand exactly what you mean. But if you mean that, if the url of the nameserver is equal to the domain of a freesite, you think something is wrong, then I think this is not correct. The nameserver of my dedicated server equals one of my domains for instance.
I think what Cleo means is that you should surf to the url of the nameserver. And when this appears to be the homepage of a freehost ... then you know it.
Hope this helps.

Most, if not all, of the revshare freehosted sites have an affiliate ID in their sponsor code that is something like this: revsh998541
