Need to create a website

mini_lidi

I want to create a website just for personal use, but must be lowcost?
Any help?

There are plenty of free hosts out there such as freewebs that will allow you to have a free web site.

If you looking for a blog then Blogger and Wordpress are both free.

Thanks but need either a .com or .co.uk domain?

Jaffa.

You should check out www.easyspace.com They start from £2.25 a month with a free domain name, I've used them before - I'd recommend.

£2.25 is a bit expensive? any cheaper?

weegie.geek

hostfor99p will do it for... 99p a month. You'll have the cost of a domain on top of that though, so factor in another £6 a year or so for that.

you could always use one of the free hosting sites, but redirect your domain there, saving you the monthly hosting fee.

i like the second idea?
do you know of any good wesbites?

£1.85 a month? http://www.123-reg.co.uk/web-hosting/ they also do just the domain name for £2.99 a year, better than £6

But with the hosting thats only 100MB of space, 1.5GB bandwidth compaired to 500MB/10GB

ohhh :S
so if i buy a domain could i transfer it over to free hosting site?
Also if anyone knows more please PM me
thanks

You will need a free host that will allow you to point the DNS at your .co.uk or .com address

Or your own web server...

I could've worded it better. .co.uk is £3 a year, minimum period of 2 years. .com is £6 a year.

I have hosting with hostfor99p.com and lewcy.com and a2b2.com. All are fantastic, good speeds and support, on the few occasions I've needed it.
