Dowhitcherself Hosting

http://localhost/

Cost for domain: buy it yourself

Hosting price: Nothing besides your ISP fee's.

Setup fee: I bought a Pentium 133 for $15.

Extra features:

Uhh...anything you really want

This is the hardcore, low-cost, insane hosting solution for teams with no money whatsoever. Find a kid on your team that has broadband and no major use for it...give him an old computer, and tell him he's the master of the web. There...you have a webpage.

(If you think I'm joking around...I'm really not. This seriously isn't a bad way to do it. It'll give a few of the kids a good idea of how a server actually works. It's also so freaking cheap! You also don't have to worry about going over your bandwidth limitations or sizes or anything like that. It's not a very bad idea at all...)
