    From experience I wouldn't use free hosting. We used Freeola when our site first went online. It was free but we had to use their dialup to upload to the server, this was more costly than paying for cheap hosting. It was also difficult to move away from them.

    http://www.openmindhosting.co.uk/ - One of my sites is hosted with this company, not free but reasonable.

    Do you know much about HTML? If so it is possible to host a site for free using blogger.com

    As I said I am currently using blogger.com but there are plenty of other places where you can get it free. What is your ISP? they usually give some free space.

    You need to change the DNS settings for your domain to point to where your free site is i.e http://Chrissybh0y.blogger.com and this will send any traffic there.

    If you wish to point your domain at a shared hosting account on our myserverworld.com platform, then please fill in the form below. You will need the IP address provided in your welcome email. If you do not have this, you can resend the email from within your MyServerWorld control panel.WebFusion hosting IP address
