Question: Where can I get a free web site?

Answer: If you are connecting through an ISP - they probably provide web space and e-mail as part of their service. 
Connect to the Xoom site and sign up for a free 11 meg of server space to serve your web pages. 
  • connect to the site Xoom 
  • select a username and password 
  • enter the required information 
  • remember to record your username and password for this site 
  • an existing e-mail account is necessary (don't have one - look here) 
  • after you agree to the terms and submit your request you will need to check your e-mail and verify your existence in cyberspace 
  • once set up you can then upload your html pages using an ftp program 
  • pages are accessed at http://members.xoom.com/username 
    • free e-mail 
    • free web space for your web site 
Question: Are there others?
 
 
    Answer: Yes, I'm not trying to make a complete list. However - BE AWARE - some sites INSERT advertisements into your pages or have annoying windows that open (all part of the service they provide). Xoom didn't do this for a long time but lately I've seen a small banner running across the top of pages displayed from their sites. Xoom is still less annoying than many of the other free web services.
