Not what I'd call basic, but it is limited: Amazon EC2 Micro Instance, which is free for one year. http://aws.amazon.com/free/ Whether that's practical for a one-page static HTML site will largely depend on whether Amazon (or Ubuntu, which partners with Amazon and provides OS images) provides a turn-key OS image that doesn't require much setup. And then there's the one year limit...if it wasn't for that, there's a bunch of things a "Micro Instance" could be useful for: inbound spam filter, outbound mail relay (though I hear EC2 IPs end up in block lists a lot), remote network monitoring, custom DNS, etc... -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
