  The following sites offer free web-hosting. Most finance this by having ads automatically "pop-up" when someone visits your page, but some do not. All offer basic web page creation tools, but you can also use your own editor to create pages which you then upload to the host server. Now there's no excuse for not having those homework assignments (and grades?)posted for students and parents to check.
