James; my idea depends, of course, on your content not being dynamic or requiring to be database driven. When you said your history project, I was thinking of a static website for information. If it's just a few pages like that and you are reasonably comfortable using the windows command line, then let me know and I'll knock up an example. If it needs to be a full CMS, then Mobeen's idea might be better, but don't forget you can get a free site hosted by wordpress, or use Google pages to build your site, but the latter is again more for flat pages. Personally, I think the gihub pages idea might suit you if it's a static site.
