2. Super deal: Some web hosting services offer pretty good deals. Right now, aspwebserver.com offer $1 for the whole year contract. Usually it costs $4/month. You get 500MB space for your site. It should be plenty for a class site. Of course, you need to register a domain name. The advantage of getting a hosting service is that you don't need to worry about the security issues and maintenance of the web server. In general, they are very reliable and secure. I don't have any hosting issues so far (several years already). My site is always there and never get hacked.Another choice is to use free web hosting service. Quite often, these companies would add an ad banner somewehere in your page. It can be equite annoying. As I recently noticed that geocity does not have any banner. It provides good services. Plus, with geocity, you don't need to get a domain name. You use their subdomain name.

3. Every year thinkquest.com hosts a nationwide web design contest for k-12 schools. When teachers sign up as a coach, thinkquest will allocate web space for web projects. It is free and open to everyone. Their local counterpart tqnyc.org also organizes web contest in the city. They have more support and activities during the school year.
