Many companies offer free web hosting services.  This includes free storage space on a web server, basic tools to build a site, a free email address and other goodies. Most hosting companies require that you display a banner at the top of each of your pages.  Many also restrict you from using a domain name that you own or plan to purchase. If these constraints are too restrictive for your requirements, consider purchasing low cost paid hosting services.

Because features offered by free web hosting services are constantly changing, it is a good idea to shop around before making a final decision on where to set up your site.  Here are two free web hosts to consider:

Geocities

Geocities has now been purchased by Yahoo.com.  They offer 15 MB of free space, a free email address and other goodies.  When selecting a user ID, chose a meaningful one as it will become part of your web address. (URL)

FreeServers

FreeServers.com  provides 20 MB of web space free.  If you own a "com" or international domain name (e.g.  ".ca",  ".uk"), FreeServers will host it at no cost.
