web hosting services question

[NJ Keane]

I am contemplating moving some of my web pages off my library server and 
hosting them elsewhere.  The pages have been on my school's web server for 
almost 6 years and there is no pressure to move them so that isn't an 
issue.  It's just that the school system is becoming more and more unstable 
(it's been down most of the week) and I just think it's time to take my 
non-school pages to another level.

I currently use mediaone as my home isp.  They only allow 10 mb of web 
space and I need about 20 mb.  I would like to register my own domain name 
and then host my pages somewhere.  I've found some free and low cost sites 
that will host pages up to 25 mb and allow ftp and cgi.  The trouble is, I 
don't really know anything about these sites.  I don't want to move my 
webpages and then realize I made a big mistake.

Do any of you have words of wisdom about this?  Should I stay with mediaone 
and pay for more space or should I move to a web hosting service?  Does 
anyone have a great web hosting site (free or inexpensive) that they would 
recommend?

Thanks for your help.

Nancy
