If you are looking for a free place to park your site, there far too many to name of suport just one, personaly if you dont mind adds on your site tripod.com is fine enough, but avoid yahoo free sites like the plague..I hate that side bar baaaad, I used to support fortunecity.com but the lastest imposed popup adds are horrid.... actualy I even think bravenet offer free hosting now, that would be worth checking out.
