Webpage Hosting
You can find many webpage hosting services on the web. When picking a host you have to look at the cost per month to you, what comes with the hosting (e.g. SSI, CGI, real audio etc.), do they limit the number of kilobytes you can transfer a month, and anything else you find important.
If you find a site that is fast you can find out what host they use by going to InterNic WHOIS and looking up their domain. The listing will tell you what server hosts the site.
A good way to find out the speed of a server is with ping in Unix,
Linux, and Windows 95-98. In the command prompt type in ping
http://www.domain.com. That will return in milliseconds how long it took to send
a 32bit 'packet'.
The Free Homepage Guide has a large listing of free hosts. Some of the hosts are slow due to the number of users, but hey, you get what you pay for.
