Since folks have asked about free web hosts in the past ...
1and1.com is offering 3 YEARS of free web hosting (offer expires Jan 21).
* 500 MB / 5 GB

* Lots of extras
See their site for details (http://www.1and1.com/).
Seems like a decent deal, but I've not fully explored it.

By the way, some of my friends are using other "inexpensive" (less than $10 US per month) web hosts and seem to like them ...

Howdy Harald,
Their web site says ... "1&1 is proud to be both the world’s biggest web host, and the fastest growing. Our global community is 2.5 million people strong and 2500 new customers sign up every day."
That's a two-edged sword, as many know. I'm sure their data centers are located in Europe, as their location is *never* mentioned anywhere (that I looked) due to the slowness of the connection. My ISP has pinging disabled, so I can't run traceroute either <sigh>.
I signed up for a test to see how it goes. I don't expect too much, since this is a FREE account <smile>.
Cheers,
-Don G.

http://www.1and1.com is somewhere in the US, probably somewhere near NY. Of course I don't know if they are hosting their US-customers there too, but I hope so - at least if they want more US-customers
