Is there such a thing as free web hosting? including domain name?

No. Well lets look at it this way. They company giving you free webhosting does bulk your website up with many things. Like in my case http://thetechhub.tripod.com/thetechhub/ is a website I made and given the fact it is on tripod I get many adverts on the screen. But then again you can direct more traffic to it and make some money from google ads.


I am just a college kid with a small company and cant afford web space so I went for the "free" web hosting service.

There is free web hosting but you'll have to put up with advertising of some sort.


Try this :


http://www.150m.com/


[I recommend it because I use it myself]


or you could use Yahoo!'s geocities.
Reply:No. And no online provider is stupid enough to offer both free domain name and website hosting and be expected to render quality support.





If you need support with what you want, be ready to pay.
Reply:No there is no such thing.





Don't worry about handing over the credit card. These are multimillion dollar companies. I've been hosting online for 10 years and never had a problem.





http://www.getawebpage.net





That page lists the best hosts in the business.





I recommend Startlogic or Bluehost
Reply:Hello,





Like what everyone has mentioned, a paid and a free hosting makes a lot of difference. There is no free lunch. Usually, there will be some drawbacks.


If you want to find free hosting, you can have a look at : http://www.freewebhostingarea.com/





If you change your mind and would want to go for paid ones, try this : http://www.exabytes.com/
Reply:you will never get free hosting + domain ,





you can however get free hosting and subdomain





for free hosting, try google superpages or yahoo geocities ,


its sort of free hosting, but you are limited to a subdomain on googlepages %26amp; geo has ads on your website - otherwise I would use http://www.interkeys.com/tophosts to get one for a few bucks a month with 500 GIG bandwidth and the rich with features





its up to you how developed a site you want and if you want to use your own domain name
