This can sound a bit complicated but why don't you take asvantage of your free web space you get with your internet provider. I run all the help stuff, my pic's and my sons rugby teams web site from mine. I just upload files with Smart FTP which is free. Once you've done it a few times, it becomes a piece of piss and you won't lose you avatar (profile picture). You can also be a bit flash and buy your domain name for £4 for 2 years from
www.oneandone.co.uk and just point your new name to your web space. (just don't ask them for a DNS change cos it takes them about 3 months)
