Surfsteve's WEBMASTER PAGE
Here is the best of what I know about free website hosts.
http://thefreesite.com/Free_Web_Space/ is the best place for info about free web pages. Contains three pages of awesome information about free webhosting!
I strongly recomend you read all three pages and choose where you want to host your free website.
If you don't have front page you will either want to find a free website building program and a host that offers FTP (as well as an FTP program if it's not built into your website building program)
If you have none of the above you must find the best host that offers the best tools for building your free website.
_____________________________
The notes below are only of use to those that have Front Page:
Here are some of the sites that are cool... I am looking for one with free front
page extentions so it will support search engines, chatrooms, and onsite forums that can be built with front page.
Tripod
The second largest free Web page service (after Yahoo!
GeoCities), Tripod gives its members a choice between pop-up ads and
embedded ads. You get 20 megabytes of space for your site at this service, which
now has over 4 million members and which is owned by search portal Lycos.
Here, you have two options: if you're a beginner, you can use the "Quickpage"
option if you want Tripod to write your page's coding. If you know HTML coding,
you can do it yourself through the "Custom" option.
Tripod offers support for Microsoft FrontPage extensions, which means that if you own this commercial Web authoring package, you have more flexibility in what you can do with your site, (such as the ability to easily add text searches). However, we've had a number of complaints that Tripod's FrontPage server is slow and buggy.
Angelfire
A major free Web space provider that is owned by search portal Lycos,
Angelfire offers 20 megabytes of space and supports FrontPage
extensions. You may advertise your business here, but you may not have paid
advertising banners on your page. Angelfire offers lots of helpful advice for
getting you up and running with your own Web site, even if you're new to Web
site authoring.
End of Front page notes.
