Re: Web hosting

["Eric Cartman" <erk_cartman@yahoo.com>]

Further to my previous post of this topic, the URL I was looking for is
www.fwpreview.ngworld.net - they have a comparison between free webpages,
and answers to questions such as

Pop up ads?
Mb?
Ftp?

People also comment on their experiences.

Hope this helps
