Web hosting options: Your school most likely offers free webspace to students and faculty. If you prefer to use an outside server (for example, if you're job-hunting outside of your institution), check your Internet Service Provider, for example, Verizon offers 10 MB of web space. If you don't have that option, a number of other services can be bought or used for free.
