Free Web Hosting

Options
I am looking for somewhere to host my website. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a free place to host it.

Many Thanks in Advance

Emma

    Hi Emma

    There are quite a few free places to host your website but free normally means that visitors will get "pop-ups" and other advertising information when they visit your site - for example if you host with myspace and goecities etc.

    If you have a broadband account at home, most ISP's allocate you a web address for example https://www.yourISP.com/yourusername with some web space.

    If your ISP does this then you could buy a cheap domain from somewhere like 1and1.co.uk or uk2.net etc and cloak your address your isp gives you. These personal URL's only cost around 4 pounds for 2 years subscription.
    Hope this helps

    some ISPs offer only very basic hosting, if you want e-commerce or Frontpage extensions etc then you need to find a paid for hosting company

    You should also check out www.jamroll.net for free hosting. As well as basic web sites, you could also create a blog on there.
    Of course, I may just be talking b****cks!
  • Try the following free companies:

    https://www.ifastnet.com
    https://www.110mb.com
    https://www.4000webs.com

    All free, support mysql and php etc
