web hosting (wow that title sounds spammish)

[margaine]

so I need some ideas for free web hosting, if anyone has any. I want to set up a professional website for my academic endeavors, and I don't want to spend any money for the web space.

The options I have so far are
- using my university's web hosting space, which I may or may not have taken away from me at some unidentified future date since I've just graduated (they do not seem to have an organized system for deleting graduates' accounts, so it's a mystery when my account will get deleted. I think I may have it for up to a year, but who knows)

- using a blog site like blogspot or livejournal for a website rather than a blog (I'm seeing this more and more lately, and while it's not great, it is free)

- making a public profile on a professional social networking site like academia.edu or LinkedIn (this is really a last-ditch option as far as I'm concerned)

If anyone has any other ideas/suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them. :)

i have no opinion, I am a clutz at that sort of thing; but whatever you choose, I should be thrilled to visit and read it! :)

Here our internet provider gives a space on the internet as part of the package. If you still have the address for the website we did for our wedding information, that is situated on a server owned by the internet provider, but as I completely suck at many computer-related things, I, for example, have no idea how to actually organize it so that there would be such space or how to create a webpage if not with the help of Mac :)

And, as my boyfriend added, there are website, where having the website is free, but it means that you might have advertisements on your page, which you might not want or like.

ah. good thought. I don't think we have that, and since I'll be moving in three-four months, it wouldn't last.

Oh yeah . . . I guess it would depend on what it was like. does your boyfriend have any suggestions for some particularly good sites like that?

freeservers.com does something like that, but you can maybe google something similar, depending on how much space you might need.
