To say nothing of the secret backdoor link to "Liz's Naughty Nunnery." That's right! These girls worship in ways you've never seen before! Two-somes, threesomes, Masses, nun/nun, nun/priest...nothing's too shocking for these Lord-lovin' ladies! Whether you're partial to Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutheran, Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Anglican, Baptist, Methodist, or Charismatic, we've got what you want! And don't miss out on our fetish areas--more specialization than you can thump a Bible at! Televangelists, faith healers, cultists & more! So visit Liz's Naughty Nunnery without delay--where "Hail Mary" means everything it's MEANT to!!

Or you could do what I do and have a sister and brother-in-law who have their own server and give you free unlimited space. Now, if only I had a website...

I purchased my domain name at www.registryweb.com . They've got pretty cheap domains, the max is US$20. (Though I haven't researched recently, that's the best I found about a year and a half ago.)

As for the amount of bandwidth you need, it's kind of hard to judge. It all depends on how many visitors you get, and just how much material you have to offer. If you have a lot of big images that people will be downloading, then that's going to jack up your bandwidth, even if you don't have a lot of visitors.

For an example, my site gets upwards of 10,000 visitors and 4 GB per month in traffic. But I use quite a lot of images on some pages.

Of course, I'd be nice if I had a friend who owned a server. Unfortunately, I don't. I have an old-ish machine that I could probably turn into a server, but I'd need a method of connecting it to the internet. I can't use my T1 connection in the dorms because it cycles through IP addresses about every day or so. So, it's a webhosting service for me. And, like I said earlier, I've almost got that picked out.

The philosopher's stone. Those who possess it are no longer bound by the laws of equivalent exchange in alchemy. They gain without sacrifice and create without equal exchange. We searched for it, and we found it.
