I just received a letter (in Russian) from null.ru - they apologize
for downtime because of hardware failure and inform of increased
diskspace. They plan to allow user CGI soon. I didn't check whether
what I posted earlier (see below) still works.

-----

A Russian free webspace provider offers three ways to upload: via
<ftp://www.null.ru>, <http://null.ru/cgi-bin/fm.pl> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
Webspace limit 1 M. Subdirectories forbidden. Registration form:
http://null.ru/cgi-bin/regmail.pl
Text there is in Russian, but form field names are in English:
"name" (username) can contain symbols a-z, 0-9;
"pwd" and "pwd1" (password) must be at least 3 symbols long;
"fullname" - your name is enough;
"email" - your email address, not on null.ru;
"alias" means forwarding:

You get mail account <username>@null.ru along with website.
It can either forward to the email address you specified
at registration or accumulate mail in mailbox with web
(<http://www.null.ru/cgi-bin/w3mail>, JavaScript required -
Netscape 3.0+ or IE 4.0+) or POP3 (mail.null.ru) access.
Mailbox for the present allegely of unlimited size,
no limit on letter size. No SMTP server, but mail with @null.ru
in "From:" can be sent using web-access or "xtnd xmit" extension
of POP3 protocol (or via your ISP, of course).

Form for change of settings: http://null.ru/cgi-bin/changemail

You can access your website as http://www.null.ru/people/<username>
or http://www.null.ru/pages/<username>
For creation of a shortcut like http://<name>.null.ru
use free subdomain registration form: http://null.ru/cgi-bin/rdna
Fill "url" field if you want to create shortcut to a site
outside null.ru; otherwise fill the "url_null" field by
your username on null.ru. "name" and "url_null" can differ.

I registered an account there online, but I think that it's possible
by accmail methods. I suppose that cookies aren't required for
registration.

If your page contains 8-bit characters and they get distorted
then upload .htm instead of .html or vice versa. It's because
or handling of two main Russian charsets: the site is designed
for Russian users. ;)

Email uploading commands (you must write angle brackets and
exclamation signs as shown, don't write brackets):

   <!user [username] [password] >

   <!text [filename] >
- uploading of text file. Place the file after this command.

   <!binary [filename] >
- uploading of binary file. Place the file uuencoded after this command.

   <!delete [filename] >

Example:

   <!user ups lsls >
   <!text index.html >
   <html>
   <body>
   Hi!<img src="constru3.gif">
   </html>
   </body>
   <!binary logo.gif >
   begin 666 constru3.gif
   M1TE&.#=A*``H`,(``.?GYVYN;KZ^OO_=`````````````````"P`````*``H

   !.\'+
   `
   end

Alternatively files for uploading can be attached to email.
Then only <!user ... > command is obligatory in main body of the letter.

I didn't try to create a web-site there by accmail-only methods,
but suppose that it's easy. Try and post results!  :-)
