Incidentally, I am dirt poor (trust me you have no idea) and I pay for a webspace, 70 whole dollars a year. Its my christmas present to pay the fee every year to myself. This is not a nyaa nyaa nyaa lol or anything like that, hardly. Only to say, it can be done. That money includes the domain name, and there are no monthly fees.
Also with premade free templates all over the place, websites take minutes to make, and minutes a month to maintain, and uploads are instant. Trust me , if an idiot like myself who has issues figuring out the OBJaction mover can make templated webpages between raising two kids and running my own company, I think anyone can do it. Believe it or not, netscape communicators old version 4.8 had (and you can still get it) free, composer, which can have you make and load a website in seconds flat.
As for having to have stuff in two different places, I realize that's not convenient, but the Rolling stones said it best "You can't always get what you want". Sucks I know. Again yet another reason to have your own site.
Another good option is to find other's like yourself, who'd like a site and split the cost, makes it way cheap and most have plenty of room to accomodate more than one. Thats what I did at first, split the yearly 70 dollars with a friend, until i just decided to take it over when they decided they wanted their own.
