There's lots of sites that will host for free. One of the longest running ones is Geocities. I think you may already have a Geocities account if you have a Yahoo account. Do a search for "free website hosting" to find others. Your internet provider may also provide hosting space (I know Comcast does). The only caveat with the latter is if they cease to be your internet provider your website ceases to exist too.
Free options won't have a nifty custom domain name like "hisstank.com" but rather something like username.geocities.com or geocities.com/username. To get your own domain will cost probably $8 - $20 depending on which registrar you go through, as well as a one-time set-up fee if you won't be configuring the domain name info yourself.

Some of the free websites will also offer pay packages where you can get the spiffy domain name thru them.
Geocities also has built-in web design software and wizards. It's pretty easy to make something 1/2-way decent thru geocities.

if u do want your own domain name it's so cheap. but if you really don't wanna pay u can look into dot.tk for .tk domain names.
from my experience, if u get free hosting you are also getting some unwanted ads. a lot of hosting sites also have website creators. bravenet is one. but i'm pretty sure they are kind of aggressive on ads, but they have a lot of 'wizards' to help you make a lot of different parts of your website, including a forum, chat, and other stuff. |
