Well first Mike you have to make serious contributions to the community like say Grumpy (Hagar).
There are a number of free places if you want to setup your own site.

Try using Yahoo Geocities. They don't allow you to set up downloads on their free service though. There's also Tripod and Anglefire (if they're still in business) that you can try too. Geocities is perhaps the most user friendly.

Mike, web hosting for free is readily available.  I would suggest www.50megs.com.  I've used them for years now, and no problems.

Check out www.0catch.com, I use them and they allow everything from downloads to Perl/CGI scripts! :)

"Contributions" are generally sharing what you know about the hobby - helping others with problems - asking questions, generally being a helpful nice person.  It's not a clearly defined "quality".

Your age generally doesn't come into play in these forums - except that many of us "old fogies"  can sometimes lapse into outmoded speach and make archaic references to things and happenings from decades past.

Of course, noting that you like decent aircraft - like Vimys and such shows that your are mature beyond your years and have excellent taste.

An Extra 300 would suit me fine. Note my new avatar. ;)

Now all you need is to put "It's more fun in an Extra" under it... ;D

 Well, I always try to help people on the forum, etc. if that's what you mean. :D

 Should I do something like donate my work or something to simviation? Casue i've got some good planes that I was gonna use as payware, but I can donate them if you like.

Mike your best bet is to go with some of the free providers listed above, and then put a link to your site in your signature.
Pete v.rarely makes spurious offers ;) But then he has to pay a lot of money to run SimV.
