Most free web space that comes from your ISP do not include a database. You will need to find a guestbook that utilizes a flat file (e.g. *.txt) in which to store the data. There are some possible issues with using a flat file, but unless you have several users accessing the guest book simultaneously, it shouldn't be an issue.
Basically you can save 1,048,576 characters for every megabyte of storage space used.
