Most ISP's provide a small amount of free web space...... if not IMO I would check locally to you.

It cost money to register your domain name and it cost money to have it hosted unless you want to use the isp's domain space which you obviously can't do since you don't really have an ISP and are stealing(borrowing) bandwidth from your neighbor.

Though I have no real experience with Google Sites myself, I'm thinking of maybe using them for an additional site I'm contemplating on building for our club hopefully for free. Maybe it would work for your needs, or someone here will be knowledgeable about the good, bad, or ugly about their service. Some of the templates look OK but that's about as far as I've looked into then as of the moment. http://www.google.com/sites/help/intl/en/overview.html

Oh no, it comes from the complex itself. I'm not very far from the office, and get somewhat of a signal.

I would care if I was leeching from the neighbor, but as I'm getting it from The Man, I dont mind.

I signed up.

Doesn't look like it'll fit my needs, as I need to FTP into it, and upload almost 100 megs.

Im not about to sit there and upload everything one by one...

If you need to FTP get a program called filezilla. Free. Allows you to select whole directories and ftp all at once.

100Megs is really not much.

I have a website and most of the time, I just open up an explorer window and drag and drop that way.
