Re: [Gramps-users] user hosting sites

For a personal genealogy site you might want to look a Rootsweb 
Freepages. You have to put up with an Ancestry banner across the top, 
but it's not terribly intrusive. Here's a link to the Freepages terms 
page so you can get some idea hat's allowed and not allowed:

Here's my Freepages site so you can see what you get:

It's nothing fancy, just a basic page/site. That's by my choice, not 
theirs. You can get about as fancy as you wish. Many sites have much 
more "bling" than mine does.
