I have all of my Lego content at http://www.vfaq.org, which is hosted by
DixieSys. I pay a whopping $4/mo for my space/BW. I managed to get in on a
2-for-1 sale, so I have 6Gigs/mo for that $4. Registering vfaq.org cost me less

You can easily create a domain and have some decent BW for less than $80 for the
entire year with a little research.
