Slightly off topic - sorry



I apologise profusely for what I am about to do - I am prostrate at
your superior feet, and grovelling until my tongue is sore - but I'm
afraid I am going to ask a question that is off topic. Nothing to do
with MiNT, I'm afraid, but:-

I would like some web pages of my own. Thinking that this would
not be a problem, since I am a student at a university, I spent the
summer creating over 20 pages (but mostly text, since I wasn't sure
how much server space I'd get). Having got back here now, and begged,
pleaded, been put off, made to fill out forms in triplicate (erm...
maybe not) and sent to just about every sytems administrator in
Manchester (and his dog!) I have basically been told that "server
space is not available for student use".

The result - now I have several thousand lines of code and text and
nowhere to shove them (no rude suggestions please). They are
primarily about me & my band (not a pleasant combination) but also
include the officially authorised pages for John Otway - an
incredibly funny British "one hit wonder" who has spent the past 18
years engaging in hairbrain musical schemes trying to get another hit.

Basically I would like to know if anyone knows of a place that would
give me a reasonable amount of server space - preferably free, but I
can stretch to a _small_ fee. Even if it's only half a meg, I'd at
least like to post some pages saying "this is an example of what I'd
like to do, if you can offer me more space then let me know".

I tried one of the free space providors, but they limited you to one
page - so it would have had to be a very loooong page!!!

Any help or advice (polite please) would be much appreciated. Mail me
privately. Once more I sincerely apologise for this waste of
bandwidth, but I'll put an advert for Atari/MiNT into the pages, to 
make up for it.

Cheers (and grovels)
