Or heck, j00 could run it off of your own computer.

BTW Wordpress is a slice of terrible evil pecan pie. I love pecan pie, but this is the worst pie I've ever used. (or tasted... How do you use pie?
It's "unravel a mystery" time.)
Just my 2 cents.
It's worth more like 25 or 30, but I'd give it to you for 2.
Oh, and unless you pay for an advanced membership to wordpress, or whatever the fsk they call it these days, you have a bandwidth limit.
Not so on your own server!
Good Luck!
Oh, and nothing can beat a 3rd party webhost,
(Quotaless is free, but hard to use, I'd still recommend it, it's free, and it has no bandwidth limits, hence, quota-
less)
unless you have a seriously elite connection in your home.
(I'm not going to say you don't, but hey, It's unlikely.)
Remember that people can only get files from your home server at your max upload speed.
On DSL, that could be 50-80 kBps, on Cable, 120-300 kBps. These are just estimates, you might have a t1 or t3 connecktion at your place of residence, and that would be seriously whacked out, as far as connection speed and cost go.
It's all about traffik, and, in the end, the amount of w3rk you want to put into this thing.
If you want a website with no maintenance, then a 3rd party is for you.
But you know a bit of Html, and dreamweaver, so I think you could handle a home server, plus it's good for keeping files up to date across multiple computers on your home network.
(Which I
assume you have, if not, you should get on that.)
@ Everyone else, if Levanthan doesn't have a Home Network, he's not going to post here for a few days. Until he can figure out what he needs to do about it.
Oh, and @ Levanthan, the "Seeker of the Frozen Flame" thing... +1 dude, +1.
