Where find Free websites, forums; websites for English

[OT?]Where get Free websites, forums; websites for English
1.
I would like to apply for a website (to try to run my homepage for the first time) which possesses the following
[more stars means more important. Just try your best to satisfy all my requirements (if possible)]:
- *****free of charge (because it's the first time to make a good website; I would like to practise first!!)

- *high MB storage (10-20+MB) [PS: not really sure whether it is enough. I think it will be a text-and-picture website. Probably no animation/movie. And have some text-based things to download (eg *.doc)]

- **if possible, no limitation on data transfer. If not, maybe 1GB/month... [PS: not too sure. Maybe you can suggest a reasonable good limit]

- **if possible, no limitation on no. of visitors. If not, maybe 10,000 hits / month... [PS: not too sure. Maybe you can suggest a reasonable good limit]

- ****permit using FTP
- ***can frequently update the content of webste easily
(since the info on the website needs to be updated freqeuntly, it will be very great if the website allows me to update easily, or they porvide something to facilitate the update process)

- *if possible, no limitation on upload of file size, type etc. If not, prefer max. 10MB; not to ban *.zip; etc.
[PS: Maybe you can suggest a reasonable good limit]

- *popups/advertistments are ok unless they are very annoying to visitors.

- or any other good function you can think of


Some more notes:
- I know some offer free websites with quite great functions, but assessment is needed in applying for a website. Does anyone know if it is hard to pass so? (because I'm just a novice at making website, it is just my first time to make a good website)
- I'm from Hong Kong. But some applications have restrictions geograhically. So these will not be suitable for me.

Any recommendation?


2.
Does anyone know where to register for a forum with good functions?
(try to recommend any you think is good. Thanks a lot!!)

Some questions about organising a forum [maybe silly Qs]:
- who is going to deal with the login account &/or password (is it me? or automatically handle?)
- is it possible to hire moderator (someone who has limited functions to monitor the forum)?


3. Do you know if there is any other good places for:
- online Eng dictionaries (which have detailed definition, examples, suggested sentence format/pattern)
- Eng forums
 
I don't understand a lot of what you said.

1. I think you want a free web host that provides high storage and unlimited bandwidth? I very much doubt you can find one.

2. Where to register for a good forum? Methinks you have already done that here at AT...

3. dictionary.com

Sorry for my bad English.
Tell me and I would explain to you.

1. I think you want a free web host that provides high storage and unlimited bandwidth? I very much doubt you can find one.

Relating to requirements of websites, I don't expect to satisfy all indeed. More explanations and modifications are added/made to the questions.


2. Where to register for a good forum? Methinks you have already done that here at AT...
Do you mean here??
Where to register??

 
1) Yes you can do all of this but you will need your own domain (e.g. anandtech.com or yahoo.com is a domain).

Domains are cheap, buy it from NameCheap.com for USD $8.88/yr

I can help you install the forum software which is FREE, InvisionPowerBoard is very nice.

Please let me know AFTER you have registered a .com or .net domain

Hi.
Regarding one's own domain, there are free domains available.
Is that ok?

You said I can do all of this (do you refer to websites/forums?)
If websites, which one? Its URL(location)?

IPB isn't going to be free for very much longer... unfortunately.
