I use http://hypermart.com
The site is free, but you have to put up with banner ads at the top of each
page.

Are you asking to have your buisness tagged on to
someone elses page, and let them do the advertising??
or
Do you want a page and not spend a million dollars
plus for it???
if it is the latter of the two you can get free pages
from --
www.angelfire.com
And a bunch of other places, just can't remember them
right now..

If youi do not need a business domain name (blank.com) then www.xoom.com may
be a suitable site. I believe they accept business pages as well as
personal, and offer free web page hosting service.
If you need your own domain name, then you can expect to pay at least $70
for domain name registration and at least $7.00 per month for site hosting.
I hope this helps,
- Chris

This is half correct. If you want your own domain name (which I
recommend), you can't, as Chris says, avoid paying NSI $70.00 for
registering the domain for two years ($35.00/year thereafter). But
hypermart.com does not charge anything for hosting a domain, nor is there a
setup charge for any of their services.

Domain name prices seem to be dropping in the UK - cheapest I've seen is
about #40 - so I think we're almost reaching US prices (they have been about
#90 - #120 until recently). It's now becoming much easier to have a
professional web presence. One of the reasons prices are dropping on the
run of the mill names (.com, .co.uk, etc) is the introduction of some new
flavours - of which .arts seems promising. You can't seem to get these for
#40, funnily enough.

Actually this is no longer strictly true. I don't have the particulars
as I had already gone through the process and wasn't paying a whole lot
of attention when I ran across the news, but Internic is no longer the
*only* source for purchasing a domain. There are now supposed to be a
couple of companies giving them competition, and this is (of course)
bringing the price down. I seem to remember $45 instead of $75 for the
first two years? Don't hold me to it!

Cindy is correct, but be aware that this situation is in flux, with a lot
of attendant litigation still ongoing. For an overview, look at:
http://www.aira.org/index.html
The situation is that NSI, or as it used to be called, Internic, has the
databases used for name service, and they naturally want to hang on to this
mighty cash cow. Litigants are trying to force them into sharing their
databases, and acknowledging the validity of competing name services. A
test of such a system is in progress. Whether you use one of these
competing services depends on your purposes in acquiring a domain, and
whether or not you can afford to have the domain jeopardized by some future
development.
