Good to hear from you John and I'm in perfect agreement with you on all these "pop-up"
banners! I hate them and avoid web sites that use them if at all possible. I should
have mentioned this in my original post. Also I should have mentioned that what I am
looking for is a host for a commercial web page. My ISP is Southwest Bell and they do
offer a 5 meg free homage but the extension will be .net not .com and of all the
communication I have had with SwBell so far I still have not received a satisfactory
answer as to whether or not they will allow me to put up a small commercial site using
their free .net offer.
I have been trying to avoid geocities and tripod because of their pop-up banners. Some
non-related advertising on my web page would be okay but not pop-up banners. I'm
willing to accept some advertising to receive a free web page but there is a limit! :)
