Remember
those?) and to avoid all those wonderful pop-up adds geocities and

"free" is
more important than "usable", then you'll need to find a new service, I
guess. Okay, putting the apple and list mom hats again....
The trouble is that with some other services, you can get a webspace,
e-mail address, *and* domain name registration for a small fraction of
the price Apple is charging (I've seen $35 a year and less).

Why not host it on yourself? And get a dynamic DNS linked to your IP

I'm a college student. My university account gets shut down during
breaks - it's only active when school is open. And my IP changes every
semester. Yes, I know there are cable modems, but I believe that most of
them probably forbid you from running a server in their terms of
service...

Along those lines, how about aneyeforaneyetools.com?
itoolsrefugees.com?
Basically, my concern with this proposed service is that it could also
be cancelled randomly, without warning, leaving users orphaned...
