Hi Hussein,

Thanks for your response.  I don't mind paying but want it to be as
cheap as possible.  I don't want adverts.  I don't require php or a
domain name.

The site probably won't be visited much.  It is for an organisation
which no longer exists, and it was hosted at geocities.  Geocities is
now closing and it's just that there are articles, graphics etc on the
site that people don't want to lose; it really mainly is of interest
from a historical point of view.  So it's really just to keep some
information available to people.

I'll have a look at hostgator, and if you have any further thoughts
let me know...

Thanks,
Catherine
