http://www.wix.com

Not free but i always recommend www.orchardhosting.com. Their cheapest package is £28.35 a year and your domain name will cost you about £10 every 2 years for a .co.uk one so relatively "lowcost" and you have complete control of the space. Also gives you email accounts.

I've just set mine up on Google sites, it's a bit basic and limited but it seems to be working ok for me, and it's free. At the moment it's just a store for links and photo's but I've yet to start building so there's very little else to go on there!

www.orchardhosting.com for me too.

Update to this thread....

Orchard Hosting are closing and shutting up shop! End of this month the servers start going down. They have recommended Clook as a partner but not too sure what I'm going to do yet.

I'm transfering mine from Orchard to Clook using Atif:

atifishaq@gmail.com

He is a member on here, and is doing a great job for me. Costs a bit more than Orchard, but he is doing everything, all the gobble-de-gook stuff, of which I have no idea.

Can't recommend him enough.
