                        About the closest thing to free webpage hosting that i can think of would be MySpace. It seems everyone and their mother have webpages for their band, store, fraternity, business, etc. Why not a modelling page there? Just a thought...

                        Warmest regards,

                        Roger

                        A few other suggestions too, depending on who your email goes through. Yahoo has Geocities and AOL has AOL Hometown. I think those are both free as well. And i think most major ISPs will have something to that effect as well. Best of luck!

                        Warmest regards,

                        Roger

                        If you're more worried about getting some content up that learning the HTML part, Blogger is a fabulous way to get started and have a professional looking site pretty quick. Wordpress.com is also very good.

                        Both are free.

                        IM me if you'd like more help- I have messed with this stuff for a few years and would be glad to help you out.

                        Just understand that there are limitations with anything that is FREE. Website domain names and hosting are not all that expensive. The expense comes in with the upgrades for more bandwidth and extra features. Plus the single most expense is the design, whether you hire it done or purchase the software yourself. The free sites have templates that you can build online with no special software, but like I said there are limitations to what you can do.

                        Afterall, its free.
