There is a fantastic free hosting deal over at 1 and 1 hosting right now...lasts another two weeks or so. Three years of free hosting with a considerable amount of space and bandwidth. It's a promotional deal, but it's been arouns for a few months and seems to be legit. Lots of discussion about it over on the Anandtech forums here:

1and1.comI set up a site there for my daughter to mess with--pretty straightforward, with lots of tools to help newbs, and lots of room to play if you are more than a noob at the website game. Limit one per househould, though. I cannot find the catch, though I have looked. They don't ask for a credit card, adn they don't make you agree to pay them down the line or something silly like that. Certainly a better deal than Angelfire.
Take a look. Tell us if it works out for you.
