Thanks to everyone who responded with a serious, constructive reply.

I used to work in the industry. When I can have access to shared hosting for 1.15 a month for the first year, and 3.24 a month thereafter, for up to three web sites, then that seems to me to be worth a look.

Of course, I need to review all these recommendations for companies to see what best serves my computing needs.

Thanks again!

You may also want to check out dreamhost.com <http://dreamhost.com> if
you don't mind using a US based service. You get shell access with their
standard hosting plan and they seem to offer unlimited everything (data
storage, data use, hosted web sites, users, etc.). You get one free
domain and, I believe, unlimited subdomains ("something.dreamhosters.com
<http://something.dreamhosters.com>") which are great for experimenting,
informal blogging, etc.. I use the shell access regularly for socks
proxy browsing and watching US based entertainment. If you are not in a
rush, I suggest waiting for one of their promotions. I literally paid
something like $10 for an entire year when I first started using them.
Also, the lifehacker.com <http://lifehacker.com> blog usually reports
when they have a deal on or when lifehacker themselves have a Dreamhost
promotion code that readers can use.

                anyone have any
                recommendations?

            Why not make your own?  A Linux box makes an excellent server.

        Making my own interests me, mainly for the experience. I'm not a
        computer guy but did set up a file server for the house at one
        point and would like to do it again. Adding a web server would
        be an interesting project, although it might be too much for my
        skill level.


    Most distros have a webserver installed, if not by default, then
    selectable through whatever package management tool you use.

    I have Apache running on the laptop I'm currently using as my main
    machine. I develop my sites locally and then upload them to hostgator
    when ready.
