[Rockhounds] Web-hosting service

[Dora Smith]

I use Geocities Web Hosting; just upgraded from Geocities Plus.   It's on 
sale for three months and then it's I think $11.95 a month charged four 
times a year.

I like geocities, and their tech support at that level isn't too bad so far, 
but I wouldn't mind finding something cheaper.

I have an HTML editor and FTP my stuff to hte site, so I don't need that 
stuff.

Yours,
