I used geocities for years but they do not allow enough bandwidth for your site. If you want a lot of bandwidth you have to spend some cash and host on someones server.
I may not always be correct.

Geocities no longer a good place to make website, as they put a huge ugly banner if you go for free website.

You can click on the trapezoid at the top of the ad banner and close it.

or you can just post on geocities a place to get an ad blocker if they noticed though they might freeze your account.

The only reason I tell people to close the ad is so they can see the page full-width.

I always test the pages to see if they display in smaller windows OK.

I'll tell you where not to host, DO NOT USE Frontpage Web hosting. I had used them cause they were chea p and it provided all of what I needed. Recently they decided to upgrade their servers and they had a crash. They never backed up thier customers data prior to doing the upgrade so all data was lost. They didn't even tell their customers their pages were down. They have horrible service and they have since raised their prices. Avoid them at all costs. Support is bad too.

All,
I am in the process of turning up a new site. I have chosen Media Temple (http://mediatemple.net) as my host. This site was recommended by by website designer and I did some of my own research. I have made several calls to tech support at all hours of the night and the response times are very quick, there people seem knowledgeable, and my questions were resolved quickly. I choose to go with their basic GridHosting (GS) service which is usually $20 per month. I paid the whole year in advance and found a promo code online which brought my total for the year to $170 or $14.17 per month.

I am really concerned with uptime and stability and their offerings seem to meet this. They host many name brand sites in one way or another such as Starbucks, Sony, and others.

Best of luck choosing your own site.
