Anyone do Web Hosting and/or Design?

First off, does anyone know of a good place to get a "www .com" for cheap, or even free?

And does anyone know or use a free web hosting server that is very good and doesn't have to much crap tagged at the end of the URL?

Thanks

99.9% of all 'free' web hosting has a bandwidth limit which is set VERY low. I know that Geocities has some pretty decent hosting for fairly cheap and you can get a www.com, or .net.

Just

and see what you can come up with, web hosting has gotten really cheap lately.

I thought most free ones, such as geocities, has a name something like... www.insertname.com/geocities

That's how most are, I'm trying to find a free or very cheap one time payment www.insertname.com domain. I've found quite a few one page sites for $5 a month.

@ Geocities, you can get a www.--blahblah--.com or .net..
For instance Geocities has a special right now:
$8.96/mo (first 2mo- $11.96 after), no setup fee, domain name included, 5,000mb space, 200gb's data transfer (bandwidth), 200 e-mail addresses... etc. etc. etc.....

Yea theres a ton of places ranging from $5-15 a month. I only need like 2 pages, really I could settle with just one. One page would before and after pictures, and the other would be for prices, info, background, etc. etc. So not a lot of space is needed.

If you have DSL or cable you can host it yourself. call up chas at www.juicypop.com and tell him colin sent you. He'll hook you up with any hosting you need. He can do web design and all that jazz too.

They have a lot of layout already made you just fill in the blanks and add pictures. That’s what I did.
