[UFO Chicago] web hosting

[David Fourer]

I want to get a web host.  Looking for some pointers.  I don't have a 
domain name but I don't need anything special.  I need more space than I 
get free from my ISP (25mb). 

I've been doing photography when I travel and putting together pages of 
photos and text for friends to view.  I like this a lot better than 
putting the photos on one of those photo hosting sites.  I like to 
control the arrangement of photos and text, control fonts and text size, 
photo size and shape, for an overall artistic effect.  Eventually I 
might add things like recorded narration or music???.  I also have a 
small business but I don't advertise outside my neighborhood.  I don't 
plan to make this a business site for now. 

It seems like any of the free or cheap 1-year or 2-year packages would 
work.  I don't need design help.  Some day I might want hit-tracking.  I 
might want to make my site search-engine visible some day.  I suppose 
the free packages require me to advertise.  I certainly DON'T want 
somebodies blinking banner on my page!  I don't see an issue right now 
with bandwidth or storage volume.  It would be hard to fill a half gig 
with images, unless I start shooting video, which I have no plans to do.
