Ok, so you've considered hosting a website. BUT you have NO money/credit card/paypal account, you DONT like the ADS that freewebs or any other free site provider puts on your page. Is there an option? Yes.

What you should do is install Internet Information Services on your computer (Windows Components) (AND YES, IM REFERRING TO WINDOWS XP AND 2000). Make your own PHP (you need PHP Software for PHP Pages), or HTML pages, then move them to your IIS www folder or whatever it's called.

Then try going to IE or firefox and type

127.0.0.1/<yourpage>

<yourpage> refers to the page you moved to your www folder (home.html or index.php)

Now how can people on the internet get to my page?
They certainly can't type in 127.0.0.1, because that points to localhost, or the computer your surfer is using. If you use your public IP to have people go to your page, they might not remember the 70.85.468.211 (This is an example IP), and your taking the risk of getting hacked EASY. This is where http://DynDNS.org comes in. It can change your IP (70.//.//.//.//) TO something like MyPageROCKS.homeip.org or anything on the list. <homeip>.

When you want to update your page, edit it with your html program and save it separately. Now, open your recently saved html file in notepad. Select ALL and the copy. Now, open your HTML file in the IIS WWW Folder just the same, in notepad. Select all and delete. Now paste, Save, and you're good to go!

Good luck :)
