        Check with your Internet service provider (ISP). Most ISPs offer 2 to 10 MB of Web space with your account.

        Visit Web sites that offer directory listings of free Web space. These sites typically allow you to select the options you need and display a list of providers meeting those needs.

        Determine the amount of space you need. In Internet Explorer, find the file for one of the pages on your Web site; right-click on the file with your mouse and select Properties. Multiply this number by the number of Web pages you plan to add.

        Read the provider's terms and conditions before agreeing to use its site. Some providers require banners or other ads to be placed on users' Web pages.

      • 5

        Print out the instructions for uploading your site to the provider's site. Read the FAQ (frequently asked questions) or send an e-mail message to technical support if you have any questions.

      • 6

        Upload the site following the printed instructions.

      • 7

        Type the address you were assigned into your Web browser to view your uploaded Web pages.

      • 8

        Send an e-mail announcing your new Web site.

    Tips & Warnings

    • You can also find free space by typing "free Web space" into any search engine.

    • Some Web providers offer "domain hosting," which means you get your own Web domain name at a nominal charge. So your Web site address would be, for example, www.mysite.com, as opposed to www.WebSpaceProviderName/Mysite.

    • Some free providers host personal pages, while others are geared toward business pages.
