Free domain name registration is over-rated; in most cases you wouldn't want to take this kind of offer since many hosts doing this will register the domain to them (provider) rather than you - this may prevent you from taking the domain with you if you need to move!

With regards to the setup fees... maybe true of dedicated servers, but otherwise there are lots of providers offering monthly subscriptions without any setup fee!

The only issue here is lots of IP addresses, and specifically different "class C" ranges. The SEO benefits from this are... questionable, and really you'd be better putting your SEO efforts into your site itself than attempting this underhand "blackhat SEO" method. If you just need plenty of IPs for some justifiable reason (e.g. SSLs etc.) then it won't matter what range they're from, and your choice of suitable providers is very large!
