Re: OT - Free web hosting recommendations?
Look up a nearby used computer store in the yellowpages.
You can probably get yourself a P2 for pocket change. Overkill for a simple server, but cheap.

Re: OT - Free web hosting recommendations?
OK I will try to use shorter phrases rather than a (complaints received)long pitch. Feel free to ask.
It takes FAR less computer to server something, than it does to create it. Whether its web pages, graphics, sound, even game files.
A server is mostly a network card, CPU, and memory. The rest can be the absolute total minimum that any shop will put in and it will probably do you well.
Administrating any server for any reason is 90% find the answer online and cut&paste the answer into a file. If you are an above average user, then you can move up to admin. If you are comfortable with directorys, files, editing, moving, permissions, etc of files on windows, then you can consider windows admin. If on linux then consider linux admin.
IMPORTANT: for the statements above, admin does NOT include installs and compiles. Thats a WHOLE different headache. But it falls ABOVE admin (as in, it can be put off as the NEXT step up for you). I have no shame whatsoever in paying someone to do the installs on systems that I admin for years after that.

Re: OT - Free web hosting recommendations?
Well, so much for using that old machine as a server... it has only ISA slots (no PCI), and I haven't been able to find any ISA network cards anywhere...

Re: OT - Free web hosting recommendations?
Go through the personal ads at the back of your local newspaper- You'll pick up an old 486 or P1 for peanuts.

Re: OT - Free web hosting recommendations?
Sparc servers that my old ISP managed 30,000 users on can be snagged off of Ebay nowadays for under $200. If I didnt already have a garage full of "in lieu of severance pay" from the dot-com crashes Id be tempted to bid on some.
