Get a presence on the Internet
You need some web space for your book. You can pay either a host or to the free hosting service.
There are many providers offree web pages and a quick Google on "free web hosting" it is clear that the amount of page after page of the manufacturer.
But some of the services are unreliable, have annoying pop-ups or other advertising, or have strict requirements, and what you can not sell something.
If you get something for nothing but a good starting point is your own Internet Service Provider (ISP). Some ISPs like AOL, MSN, Earthlink, Road Runner may or free web space as part of the monthlySubscription.
Other free web hosting services, it is not possible to use your own domain name. Besides the annoying ads and rules, is not to use the domain name, a huge reason to free hosts.

This is the $ 10 to $ 50 per year. Not worth it. You pay for the service, but still the annoying advertisements and rules from the freeHost provider. Not the best of both world.
