Free Web Space
Free web space is very easy to find. There are hundreds of web
sites giving away free web space. The average usage for a web site is
1 megabyte, so you might want to take that
into consideration when selecting a host that fits your needs. For the
most current free web space provider, two recommended sites are
FreeWebSpace.net
and The Free Web Page
Provider Review.
