Depends on what you want to do. You can get free space at places like geocities and angelfire but you will have to use a weird domain name like www.geocities.com/50578jldjlkj.
If you want to get your own domain with hosting 1&1 I think has hosting for 2.99 a month with a free domain name. You will at least have a normal domian if you are using it for professional purposes. I think they even offer a free site that you edit. A lot of hositing companies do. You pick a template and fill in the areas. They are usually restricting but might work for what you want.

Hello,
Please, do not waster your time and/or money on “free” websites –
They are not successful, generate no traffic and no income. They keep nibbling away at you for additional stuff and before you know it, the "free" mounts up to $500.00 or more.
I recommend software from SBI!
I created my website with SBI! last February, 2006.
I now get over 4,000 hits per month.
No technical knowledge required. If you Yahoo!,
you know more than enough to create a website that works.
Over 20,000+ people around the world enjoy the benefits of this system.
Some say even spiritually.
Don’t take my word for it. Spend a little time on your own due diligence.
A special prize is reserved for you here (http://specialprize.sitesell.com/WalterA.html)
Kindest Personal Regards,

P.S. Why build just a Web site,
When You COULD Build a Business?

P.P.S. WAHMs, "Work At Home Moms"
WAHMs choose not to take paid work outside the home,
so that their family can be their first priority.
Show this growing audience how SBI! provides the flexibility,
income generation and personal fulfillment they are seeking.

P.P.S. You work alone, but you have a helpful friendly community of SBI!ers to gently help you over the rough spots at (http://forums.sitesell.com/).

Microsoft has a program for small businesses to have their own domain name with 5email accounts for free. The website is www.officelive.com. There are three different levels and the lowest level charges nothing for the domain. They even offer the tools to design your own website and the domain names have the usual .com,.biz, .org., and so on. Good luck!

I hear that Brinkster.com has free hosting. Often your Internet provider will provide a web page as well. You can download a home version of a ws_ftp program at Tucows that is free to use for 30 days. As for designing and programming the site, there are many, many web tutorials for help with HTML language. http://www.w3.org/TR/html401 is one. http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/HTMLPrimerPrintable.html is a beginner's guide.

The best site is freewebs.com
http://freewebs.com/
no fees whatsoever unless you upgrade...but who needs upgrades.this site gives you premade layout options or you can make one from scratch.advertise it with your promote option.
it's a great site for a new business or to give a fresh new look to an old one...
god i should really go into advertising.
oh yeah..and you can choose your own domain name..no crazy names like ms3746485....you can also have a headliner.it's really cool
here is mine...

I used register.com
I think all total I got up and running for around $50 to $75 dollars.
Plus, their support is #1. I have never had any bad experiences with them.
Good luck!
