Can somebody make a list of free website hosting services I can use? Which one would you recommend in terms of features and simplest web address?
http://www.freewebspace.net is a great site that lets you specify webspace, ftp, cgi bin and stuff like that, then it shows you....
www.freeservers.com is the best for a short url, but they put a banner on your site which I find distracting. I think geocities has a pretty simple url (ie www.geocities.com/yoursitename/) and they have no banners. I did a quick search and found the page http://www.stormloader.com/toptwenty/ where they rated their top 20 free website providers and provide a lot of information on all of them. I'm sure there are a lot of other sites like it if you search for them.
www.barrysworld.com is completely free, with PHP4 support. They did away with CGI access though, so if you are into CGI, you may want to look elsewhere, although they do support SSI. No banners and fast servers makes barrysworld worth trying out.
But importantly 50megs seem to disallow remote img referencing which is something that most of us like to be able to do i.e. {IMG}www.hostingsite.com/myDeskTop.jpg{/IMG} (replace {} with [])
I'm looking for a webservice provider too now but I can't find any that I like. I wan't: completely free, ftp access, no in page banners(don't mind popups), at least 500kb file size limits, a domain good name, and a little bit of space.
Wow, I found a biggo list of sites for you to check out.... AcmeCity BizLand Crosswinds Dreamwater Prohosting Spree You can look at the rest over at Freebyte.com.
It doesn't matter what URL you get... Because you can get a free re-direct: e.g. http://www.name.vze.com or best of all: for free!http://www.anything.tk
Cant beleive no one said http://www.orgfree.com. They are great, ftp, php, mysql. You can get more bandwidth if you ask nicely .
