   All of the "free" web services seem to throw a catch in there
eventually. (For example, Yahoo recently deciding to charge for
pop3 and e-mail forwarding.) And even when they don't, you need
to deal with the ads and/or pop up windows, etc. It might be
worthwhile looking into a paid service. Depending on what you need,
it may be worth the expense just to get rid of the hassles, to
get your own domain, etc...

  At the risk of sounding like a spammer ;-) I am 1/3 of Twisted
Bits (http://www.twistedbits.net), and we offer web and e-mail hosting.
You (or anyone else who might be looking) might want to take a look
and see if we might be able to fit in with what you want to do.
Although we don't have anything official on the site about it, we
are certainly willing to give DMLers a discount off the normal pricing.
(A good number of our current clients are DMLers, and the DML web
site and mailing list are hosted there.)

  Ok, I've been in "salesman" mode long enough. :-) Best of luck
with whatever you decide!
