Free Web space
Well Almost free at least! These are some links to directories that will help you find free or low cost places for your web site. Along with a couple free web servers for sites.
I will remind you that a site with no adds is preferred for a Scouting site. I will also tell you "Good Luck" on finding one that is free! But, BE CAREFUL on what type of adds are placed on your site!!
Directories
http://www.free-webhosts.com/ - Free Webhosts.com
http://www.thefreesite.com/Free_Web_Space/ - The Freesite.com
http://usscouts.org/netresources/freeweb.asp - The NetCommish
Free Servers
http://www.scouttroop.org/ - TAPO, a site devoted to free web space for Scouting sites. You are allowed 15Mb of space.
http://www.geocites.com - Geocites, part of the Yahoo group. This probably one of the oldest and most stable of the free servers. I have three sites there, a Troop, a Pack and one that is a directory of Scouting sites on the web. I haven't really had much of a problem with them at all, but if you do "Good Luck" on getting any Tech support, it's more like what support! You are allowed 15Mb of space
http://bravenet.com - Bravenet has many features you may want to use on your site even if you do not have them host it. I used them to host this site to see what they were like since they offer 100Mb of space. And I liked their special features they offer (like I said). I will also say this (ashamed to admit it), I had some problems at first trying to get this site uploaded to their server and the response from their Tech support was GREAT!! I may not be happy about the adds, but everything else has been a PLUS!
Low Cost
http://www.bsatroops.org/index.htm - This site offers 50 Mb of space for $25 a year. You'll find this one of the best, if not the best deals you can get.
