Free hosting?

[adinfinite]

Hi I have a nme that i'd like to put a page or two up for since its getting a bit of traffic. Problem is I have no money to pay for hosting etc. Is there a site that offers free hosting where I can upload a theme? Any info would be much appreciated.

Web hosting isn't something you tend to think about every day.It's something you purchase when you first get an idea for a site,you setup and then hopefully forget.It is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the World Wide Web.

If you can afford ads on your site then go with free hosting. Free hosting have many other restrictions as well like limited CPU/RAM usage. Its better to pay a small amount to get best services and features. Try shopaserver.com , they have a great package in just few bucks thats fits your budget.

I am agree with dmi.

There are a few web hosting site company. But that can not be reliable.
It is safest way to pay a little amount and get reliable services.

Firhost is a good free hosting provider. I have had a account there for 2 years. Works just like a paid hosting account.

I second this. You have to post in their forums at least 1 post (on average) per day I think. They were my first hosting and were a great place for me to get started.

I've tried other free hosts like x10hosting and during peak periods the servers grind to a halt.

So yeah Frihost is well worth it, especially given what you want it for. They've been around for a while too, so you know they're not gonna disappear any time soon.

uhmmm I see, well I just discovered it yesstarday and am going crazy trying to set up my domain.

Does anyone know how to do that? google says I need to point CNAME to ghs.google.com but on GoDaddy CNAME won`t let me edit!

thanks

Half the domains in my sig were built at google. The rest at my hosting company. I find it hard to believe that you can not edit your c records. I'm a reseller for "big G" and I can edit my records at HOSTNHUB. Just read the directions. Its easy as pie. I find it just as easy to edit the www c record instead of deleting the c name and adding a new alias.

Create a www domain that matches your domain name at the google site and then change the c name record at your registry. Google is fine for a basic web site. I have not tried making a flash site with them yet. Here is one I made 2 days ago at google after buying the domain at HOSTNHUB. Note you can only have one c record with some hosts.

Google does not allow a "naked " domain c record change for their sites. That is why you have to add the www domain to the google site first. Or use their long url. You can have up to 5 different names for your site at google. If I have confused you I would not be surprised. lol All the info is in their help files. The "manage site" link gives you access to add the site verification and analytics.

You can do a lot more to the templates also I found. You can revamp the basic templates they supply. Change colors and fonts. Also add back ground pics etc. rvspy is another google site where I added my own background pics for example. These are not fancy sites but it helps give your domain ranking. My seo score on one of the sites I posted here is 97%

Tip. If you run out of free hosting then simply add another account. Any rep welcome.:wave:
