I need to set up a temporary website to promote an upcoming music event. For this reason I don't want to use a pay site, just a freebie since I'll only be using it for a month or so and only need to put up some text and a few pictures. I could use Yahoo Geocities, but are there any good ones out there that won't innundate clickers with pop ups? Just looking for suggestions. Thanks!

You can't beat freewebs It is free and has no ads or pop-ups. It has a great user interface. you can have a site ip in 10 minutes with no html knowledge. After 40 days you get a small banner ad at the top.

I host a number of clubs in my webspace, Maryrrf. The servers are US-based, yet access in Europe is great anyway. No popups, no funnies. IBM Websphere Studio Homepage Builder is the tool I use for maintenance, and it's a doddle. If it's not too much hassle, you could send me the material and I can build your pages for you.

Visitors won't need to go through my own website, but the address would be something like: www.folk4all.net/maryrrfindex/

If you are interested, PM me.

George - with a generic domain name like that - folk4all.net - you could keep very busy hosting web sites for anyone and everyone!

Free hosts that pop up any kinf of banners or adverts are horrible - don't all ISP's give you some web space? Mine gives me 250Mb of it!

(and I do host sites for a few local folk clubs)
