    Did you not get any webspace with your ISP? If its only a small site the 10mb or whatever that most ISP's offer will be plenty.

    I get my domians via 123reg, they also offer hosting. You can probably find cheaper or even some free space if you hunt about.

    There are probably loads mate but I don't really use any webspace.

    http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/learn2...rks4_Free.html

    They have a free package's, but your probably get all the adverts over your site, and from memory you have to upload all the pages manually as the FTP is only if you pay.

    Freewebs.com was always pretty reliable as a free host with no adverts. If you're going to have minimum traffic and only a single page then they should be ideal.

    hey m8, check out freehostia.com as well. They'll charge you for the domain transfer ($15 I think) but everything else is free, and very reliable too.

    Let me know if you want a page done, more than happy to do one for a fellow VT3'r, or help you do it yourself.

    Well if you're having a single page only, you can configure your domain so that it forwards to the freewebs link, but the actual freeweb link will remain hidden in place of your registered domain.

    Check out the control panel for your domain name, you will be able to configure web forwarding.
