Christian, the first place you should check for free web space
is your own ISP.
Most ISPs such as AOL
or CompuServe
provide their subscribers with free web space.
If your ISP does not provide free web space then you can check
places such as Geocities
or Fortunecity.
These companies provide free web space to anyone who becomes a member
of their "community", they also provide you with free
e-mail and some web building tools to get you started.
Before you decide to become a member of their "community",
keep the following in mind.
They'll ask you to provide them with your personal information.
Before you do give them your personal info check out their privacy
policies because some of these companies may share your information
with third parties, practice that in the long run could result in
Spam.
Unwanted advertising.
Free web space these days doesn't come "free" or without
conditions. Most of these companies will force you to place an add/banner
in your web site in exchange for free web space.

Always read their Terms Of Service to find out what is it that you
are getting into.
