I'm making a website for my club, but am having trouble finding a host. Anybody know where I can put up my site for free? (yahoo?comcast?)and how?
btw the server must support FrontPage Server Extension or Sharepoint Services for my website to work properly cuz it has a small forum-kinda thingy~ any help would be greatly appreciated!

MG2 is an awesome free host. They don't have things like "FrontPage Server Extensions" or "Sharepoint Services", though, primarily because they offer a LAMP solution.

try geocities which is run by yahoo.
they will give you a domain with like geocities.com/yo
I have my website for a smoothie/milkshake/snowcone catering business that I started up, and I imported the website that I made in Publisher and it works fine.
www.geocities.com/smoothieworks

thx for all the suggestions, guys!
Falcoboy77: yeah i signed up at geocities, it looks cool but still doesn't have the sharepoint thingy...
seems like all the free ones don't support that...and the forum was supposed to be the main feature of my site...oh well, I guess I'll have to put it down and use something else

MG2 can host your forum if you use software written in PHP to run it. That's the P in LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).

Geocities only allows a certain amount of visiting to your page, so if you think it's going to have high traffic, find somewhere else.
