Yes those all look like free hosting providers.  Should we
whitelist them?  I think so.  I also think they're probably
not used by major spammers.

It's perhaps worth noting that most of these free sites seem
to have some legitimate uses and the free hosting providers
(themselves) probably should not be listed.  I see music, movie,
literature, etc. sites hosted on them in the DMOZ and wikipedia
data.  Mostly they look like personal fan and hobby pages, which
seems reasonable for free hosts.
