All most all web hosting companies require a Credit card. Some allow you to use paypal.
Since you don't have a CC you're best bet is try a free web hosting provider. Here are a few
- Tripod.com
- Geocities.com
- freephpnuke.org

You could also try a prepaid gift card, Visa and MasterCard are selling them in places like Walgreens and Wal-Mart, a $100 card costs $106. The extra cost is a service charge of 6% or so, part of the incentive for the retailer to hang the card on a stick. Just go to a store and see what's hanging around. There is always the possibility that people might have stolen the number off the card, hoping to use it when it gets activated, so you have to use it quickly. If any small amounts are left over (too small to pay the hosting fees for one month) the site would have to allow you to split the next bill between two card numbers. If the web hosting site will accept the prepaid gift card you will completely eliminate the need to expose your debit card account to theft. But you will have to continue to buy prepaid gift cards in a timely manner to apply them to your billing, and so the number on the card on month will be different another month, and that could be a big hassle as I have not seen prepaid cards that can be reloaded yet. There are also prepaid "credit cards" but you still are getting a card (and number) from a bank and have to provide information to the bank, and the fees are outrageously high, but you can reload these too. Fees do seem to be reduced recently, maybe the system is getting more efficient and their costs are getting lower. .

Try using a free web hosting company like
Yahoo Geocities
or
Angelfire
The downsides of it being free is that they will have their advertising plotted over on the side of your webpage

Use a free site...
http://www.freewebsites.com/
http://geocities.yahoo.com/gcp/
If you have a ISP like ATT, or Cox.net etc you should have some webspace that comes with it for free...
Or get a debit card and use that....
