If you're into ASP you could use Brinkster.com.  They'll give you either 20
or 30 megs, and they have free ASP support using MS Access databases.  You
could create the page w/out and javascript, so Kat should be happy (still
haven't gotten around to changing my page :), and the servers seem to be
pretty reliable.
