The classful network A provides 16,777,216, the most available in classful networks.
Unfortunately a class A network only allows for 256 possible networks.
This is of course IPv4 stuff
Remember the entire IPv4 address space is 32 bits wide
In class A the network mask is 255.0.0.0 meaning that the first octet or eight spaces are reserved for networks and the remaining 24 bits are available for host.
OK so the number of host are 2^24 or 16,777,216 English 16 million 777 thousand and 216 hosts
And don't forget all networks and subnets require reserving the first and last address for the network and the broadcast address.

What is the correct subnet mask to use for a class-B address to support 30 networks and also have the most hosts possible?
This question is unanswered.
How many bits class A networks are reserved for private address space?
in Class A addresses the first bit identifies the class. The next 7 bits identify the network and the rest are the IP's that belong to that network. However these networks are then broken down using subnets . Class A networks are not given to private clients or small private organisations. So if you want to know how many bits are there for identifying hosts in a Class A network, the answer is 32-8 = 24 bits. However if you mean how many bits are reserved for hosts in your private network space, that depends on your subnet and router. Most routers use NAT to allow multiple hosts to use a single external IP address. I hope this answers your question :)

Which class of ip addresses offers the most flexibilty with regard to subnetting by providing for the most number of hosts?
A class ip address offer the most number of host
Which class of ip addresses offers the most flexibility for subnetting by providing for the largest number of hosts?
A class A would give you the most flexibility in terms of subnets and hosts per subnet. You could use up to 23 bits of information for subnets.

What is Class C IP address?
Class A, B and C Based on the split of the 32 bits, an IP address is either Class A, B or C, the most common of which is Class C. More than two million Class C addresses are assigned, quite often in large blocks to network access providers for use by their customers. The fewest are Class A networks, which are reserved for government agencies and huge companies. Although people identify the class by the first number in the IP address (see table below), a computer identifies class by the first three bits of the IP address (A=0; B=10; C=110). This class system has also been greatly expanded, eliminating the huge disparity in the number of hosts that each class can accommodate (see http://www.answers.com/topic/cider).

The host bits are further divided between subnets and hosts. See subnet mask.
Which IP address class allows for the most network addresses and the least amount of host addresses?
A class C address.

What is ip address format?
Just a little caveat here, what Archangel dmitry lists here is true but should be regarded as only historical information since classed IP address assignment has not been used in over 20 years. It was replaced in 1993 by Classless Inter-Domain Routing. This was put in place to help deal with the quick depletion of available public IP addresses. In the modern day, IP addresses are assigned as needed rather than as blocks as was done when classed addressing was used.
Which class of IP address supports the most networks?
A class C network supports the most networks - the first three octets or 24 bits gives the largest grouping of networks.
