Just found out that yahoo's geocites are shutting down later this year. This will affect me as my Redskins site is hosted there at - www.geocities.com/neither_washington_nor_moscow/The www.redskins.co.uk is just a forwarding address and takes you to the geocities site. I'll still have the forwarding address once geocities goes as this isn't part of Yahoo. But I need to look for a new hosting site otherwise when geocities does close down I'll lose all the information over on the Redskins website. So, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a decent web hosting site? I'm after another free web hosting site like Geocities. Don't really need that much space, maybe around 15MB to 20MB. Any ideas? Once I do find somewhere to host the Redskins website I'll be doing a much needed update on the site as I've noticed that some links no longer work and some of the photos appear to have gone.

That would be a damn shame. Wish I could recommend somewhere for hosting. but, unfortunately, despite being on 'the net' almost eight years, I'm still a computer illiterate when it comes to that kind of thing (unless the ZX Spectrum makes a comeback!).
Good luck in finding somewhere suitable Bazza.

Google has an option like geocities, which might be better since other google bells and whistles could be more easily integrated (for instance a blog or video or even a google-discussion board, like this one): www.google.com/sites/help/intl/en/overview.htmlAngelfire is another possibility.

The first thing I thought when I got "Important notice: GeoCities is closing" this morning is 'what's going to happen to the Redskins site'. If you need a hand with anything or a fiver in the the pot if it turns out cheap hosting's more appropriate than free, yell!

My good mate Buster over at Mod Radio UK - www.modradiouk.net is going to let me have some webspace to host the Redskins site on. Now I just need to save all the info on disc and get Buster to transfer it over to his site. The web address www.redskins.co.uk will stay the same but the Geocities address will be deleted at the end of October.
