General Comments
Bravenet, based in Canada I believe, offer paid web hosting packages and an absolutely cracking free web hosting service. I have a .co.uk domain name that is currently hosted and parked by the giant VERIO organisation, at a price! (but superb service). I currently use a free facility at BRAVENET but really they are so good I shall be purchasing something off them soon.
Bravenet give you Photo Albums, their unbeatable Guestbook/Forum (I also have two with VoyForums), counter facilities, poll facilities etc. (too numerous to list all).
To build your FREE website they offer you a nice selection of templates. You can also build in HTML if you so wish.
The free service is funded NOT by annoying pop-ups, but by banners (a bit like VoyForums), so you are not constantly striking 'X' every few seconds!
I've not actually paid for anything from Bravenet yet, but I will give them 10/10 for value on what I've seen on offer.

Well it took me long enough to actually BUY something off Bravenet.
<br>
<br>The basic hosting package and domain name for a year worked out at around £44GBP. Please note that when Bravenet advertise in dollars they are not advertising in Canadian dollars but US dollars. Anyway, still a bargain.
<br>
<br>Uptime is excellent. E-mail service is excellent. Plus easy to use filing, URL redirecting etc.
<br>
<br>I guess I have to say these folks in Canada are offering a top class service.

Hi. I am from the UK. I Have a site hosted by Bravenet. I think they are very good, I had a free site at first, then upgraded to their basic package with the minimum amount of fuss, up and running in just a few hours.
