FREE WEB SITES
The first place to check is your own ISP. They often supply free pages as part of your package, with the added benefit of a listing on their own search engine. Check any restrictions regarding business use.
If you have the time I would recommend you place your home page on as many sites as you can, linking in to your main site elsewhere, as this increases your chance of being found, especially if you tweak each one slightly to optimise the criteria of different search engines.
