It sounds more or less like what you want is a blog of some type. You can get blog-only accounts from (for instance) blogger.com for free. If you want more flexibility for things like photos and stuff, something like LiveJournal or MySpace or Facebook may give you the facilities that you require, although they do carry with them a certain stigma in a professional sense (hosting your resume on MySpace, for instance, may not make a good impression, depending upon the employer). Things like this are free for basic accounts, and you can pay a nominal fee for certain gee-whiz features.
If you want freeform web space, then Charby's suggestion is what I would have suggested. I use GoDaddy for domain registration and name services, but I don't use their hosting only because I need pretty fine-grained control over the web services I offer, and it's simpler for me to just have a server in my home.
Of note: If you register a domain name with GoDaddy (for ~$10/year) I believe they give you webhosting space of at least a gig or so for that domain for free.
Word to the wise: Be careful of what you put up on any site; things that you wrote long ago and have forgotten all about can and will come back to haunt you. I regularly googlestalk applicants for jobs at my company, and we have passed over people as candidates before because of things that they've posted in MySpace et al.
SW: Not having a toll-free number for support is actually pretty clever, IMHO; it means that, instead of charging an arm and a leg for their service because every punter too impatient to RTFM will call their helldesk and clog it up for hours asking questions like "So whut's this here Aitch Tee Ehm Ayell?" because it's free, GoDaddy can keep prices down because people will think twice about calling for help if it costs. Also, many cell plans (and some landline plans, like mine) have nationwide long distance for free. Even counting in toll call charges, it may still be cheaper to use GoDaddy than some other services; depends upon how often you have to call the helldesk, and for how long.
