Looking for suggestions

Well, bad news kiddies. As of the end of this semester, the U of M is no longer supporting plain ftp connections to ifs space in favor of the more secure sftp connections. What this means to you is that I will no longer be able to host my webpage on the university servers, since FrontPage does not support sftp. Not only that, but moving back to the crappy old angelfire space I had is no longer an option. All the archiving I've started to do on this site has caused it to grow to mammoth proportions, and the free 20 megs of space they offer is no longer sufficient.
So the gist of the matter is this. I have three choices:
- Put the site in perpetual limbo at the end of the semester. That means keeping up what is currently up, but no new updates.
- Severely cut back the content and move back to crappy Angelfire.
- Dish out the cash for decent webspace.
Personally, I find C the most attractive option. However, it's also the one that will cost me money, which is somewhat problematic, seeing as how I have virtually no income stream. If anybody out there has any suggestions, I'd like to hear them. 99% of you know how to reach me, and the other 1% can email me at howet@hotmail.com.
