Best FREE webhosting site?

[BZeto]

I want to build a webpage for a class project with DHTML. What is the best place that will host the site for free. Oh yeah, I'm looking for one without 10 popup ads per page

Geocites is ok, but is there anything better?

Does your school offer webspace?

 

[BZeto]

No.

http://www.ripplehost.com is one place...but...you get what you pay for.


Well...it's not free but it's like, what, $10/yr??

How long do you need it hosted for? I may be able to hook you up with a free month or so

 

[fumbduck]

checkout hotdeals forums.


www.pchangout.net is giving away free accounts with 500mb 10gb space.

So with these $8.88 per year sites, I can get a www.XXXXX.com site (if availible) with no popups or anything? Do they usually include email acounts?

I'm thinking about NAMECHEAP.COM

 

[jfall]

Well, the domain and hosting are two seperate things. for $8.88/year you would just be paying for the domain (www.xxxxxx.com) but you would need a place to host it, or host it yourself (need a webserver)

Christ.

Don't people's ISPs give them free space anymore?

I get 150megs all together with Comcast(25megs/email address, 6 emails).

Ah, thanks for clearing that up...

Ok, back where I was... Hosting.... I would like to have the site hosted for some time, but thanks for your offer jfall.

I'm on dialup at home, my ISP does give me a free email account, but no webspace to my knowledge.

BZeto,

Can you afford $18 if it includes:

Domain name registration (whateveryouwant.com)
Web hosting for your domain with no pop up ads, no banners, no SPAM, true www.domain.com hosting
E-Mail, webmail, including POP3/IMAP
cPanel control panel
FTP
MySQL/PHP
Perl/CGI

you can even get a free domain from .tk, it gives you one pop up but you can disable that.

Just go with .tk

If you have an ISP, then you should have a small amount of webspace included.

 

[RossMAN]

1) Register your domain with NameCheap.com

2) Sign up for web hosting through RippleHost.com

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Check with your ISP. What is your ISP? Almost all give some webspace...

 

[LuDaCriS66]

Is there a site that ranks hosting services?

Most likely your ISP's free webspace is http://www.yourisp.com/~username

But for $18/yr you can have 100MB disk space, 1GB bandwidth, www.yourdomain.com, no pop up ads, no ad banners, custom email addresses (5), MySQL/PHP, Perl/CGI, etc.

 

[BZeto]

Do domain name registering sites usually let you change the name if you ever need to without charging you?
