Well, as I already said quite a few times :))) , I happen to have my webpage hosted by Free, which is quite a good provider: it allows me to have as many accounts as I want, each with 100Mb of space for a webpage (with an address of the form: http://something.free.fr) and an e-mail address (of the form something@free.fr). All this for free (like the name says), and it doesn't have annoying pop-ups or asks you to put special commercial banners on your page. The only difficulty is that to get all this you have to have an address in France to first register and get your principal account. But this I already did. So what I'm proposing (and two people are already enjoying it - well, only one actually, since Kristian Jensen still didn't finish to write down his webpage :)) -) is to create secondary accounts and put them at disposition of those in need of easy webspace (dead easy, you upload your webpage with a simple FTP client. I can do the uploading for people who for a reason or another cannot do that). So if you need webspace, just contact me privately, and I'll arrange you something :)) . And my fees are quite acceptable :))) (kdding, it doesn't even cost me more than five minutes to create an account. But if people want to pay something to me, I won't prevent them from doing it :)) ). Next time the question of webspace is raised, what I will do is redirect people to this message in the Conlang archives :)) . Hey, that would be a nice thing to put in a Conlang FAQ :)) .
