Many support groups are taking advantage of free Internet services and email tools that are available to setup a means of communication for their group. The following is a list of free tools and resources available on the World Wide Web.

It is important to note that free services on the Internet are not going to be equivalent to purchased versions. For example, you can’t connect a real Web name to free Web space. Another consideration is free sites and services are free because they are setup to target users and their guests with endless advertisements.
