Free Drupal Site?

You can try this service... I've never used them, since I have lots of space, but it is free, and you have access to mysql and php.

I think it will work for a teaching site. You can even have all your students sign up for their own.

My institution is not funding my site for the students, and I wouldn't want to be involved with the official site anyway... The students like it. If you have a web-site hosted somewhere, you might just add a sub-domain. I have tried using wordpress's free blog thing, but there is a real limit to what you can do on a site that you cannot get ftp access to. Much easier to add modules when you can use an ftp client to upload files. The cost is not awfully much, and I am considering having my ecommerce security class start their own real commerce sites, so they can experience what all this is really about.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check out x10hosting. Since I'm a still a graduate student with a limited budget, I don't want to pay for a domain. I'm the lead instructional technologist at one institution, so I can do whatever I want there. But it's not the one my students attend, so it wouldn't be appropriate to use that web space.

I'll have to think about this some more. Still no word from the institution I'm teaching at about whether I can have space for a Drupal site. I don't think they even know what it is.

i hate to recommend them since they've hijacked 2 of my domains and sold them to their own made up companies, but godaddy has plans that are like 3 bucks a month. clean urls work even though their implementation of mod_rewrite is post-php parsing.
