Subject: [Leica] OT: My Web site's gone! Alternatives?

My ISP changed owners a while back. Now, the domain my personal Web site 
was on just went away, and with it, my site. The new owners may not be 
obligated to provide me with Web hosting service.  They might do it, but 
they might not.

If they don't, I'll eventually want to put a site back up somewhere 
else.  I no longer need to put all my photos on it--the LUG gallery is 
great for that, as is flickr for a different audience. But I want to 
have a select group of my very best photos there, along with audio files 
of music I've composed, and links or text files to some of my better 
articles.  It wouldn't be a huge site in terms of disk use or bandwidth, 
but I want my stuff "out there."

Would some of you with experience in this kind of thing be willing to 
give me some advice?  Bear in mind that cost is an issue, and I'd rather 
not host my Web site on a box in my own home. I looked at the packages 
one can get from RegiStar.com, which might be one way to do things. Others?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
