I need a free web hosting site.

[ashraf fawzy]

:) Hi all...
I need to establish a site and I need to have a URL to a company or site that offer free web hosting without adding (Ads - Popup ) or any silly things .
I hope to find answer as fast as possible.
Many thanks to all.:wave:

I don't think that is good. Since it is free there is lots of limitations. And also you have to pay at least for the domain registration. Actually is for hosting.

Check this service provider. (http://www.bravenet.com/webhosting/)

You can have free or you can have ad-free, but I don't know of any provider that offers both on the same site. If the hosting is free you have to pay in something other than money, like ads.

Check with your own provider and see if they give you web space - most providers do.

Al42, prepare to be surprised... http://www.110mb.com/ is both free and ad-free plus has tons of extra features.

Downside: FTP access is slow and bitchy at times

Upside: Everything else :-)

Correct. :thumb:
In previous post I put a link for bravenet, they give you a free hosting. But you have to registrar your domain name there. Starting from $25 per year.

Al42, prepare to be surprised... http://www.110mb.com/ is both free and ad-free plus has tons of extra features.

But the domain name,

create your own domain like (yourdomain.110mb.com)

It is not good for e-commerce. I strongly believe that.

To host your domain you have to pay.

this site is easy, no ads, and good ftp instructions and protection from domain theft. with the free hosting i get lower speed downloads (1/3 of the maximum i usually get), but hey its free, easy and it has no ads. if you want high speed downloads and have lots of traffic, pay the per month hosting. 25 USD + 7 USD for domain theft protection and you're up and running for 12 months, where you own your domain, and all the content you publish up to 100MB.

notwithstanding the 50MB limit, bravenet looks like a great deal, what's the uptime and download speeds like with the free hosting?

[ashraf fawzy]

Hi Learning c I hope you are fine.thanks for your reply but....
Are you sure that this site are free, because the site asked me to choose
Select Domain Locking with 24$ at year and other options that coast alot of money , If I miss understanding I hope to guide me through this proplem cause I need it to fast as you can imagine.
too many thanks for you all for your reply .

Hai, i think it is around $30 USD for 12 months for the domain registration and protection, the hosting is free (100MB), google to find out the details about domain theft, eg sex.com was stolen for example by a criminal just out of prison with forged documents.

so while it may cost more, the cost may be offset by the better domain protection they offer. doteasy is designed to host businesses and so they are a secure option. so choose it if you are concerned about the security of your business, your domain name and the content of your website.

if you aren't establishing a business perhaps other sites will be cheaper for you? kthxbye

[eranga262154]

But there are some hosting around $ 30 per year, with more than 100 MB space. Dotable is one of that. I haven't direct link to ther now. Just google.

Most of the free thing comes like this.

Most free web hosting is on with scripting limitations. Not allow to manage our own DBMS, and so on...

[bebo help]

Ya it's true. But only free hosting. Domain registration? I haven't found any domain transfer as well.

[ashraf fawzy]

Hi eranga , "Domain registration? I haven't found any domain transfer as well." what that suppose to mean ....?

[eranga262154]

Web hosting means only your files (XHTML, CSS, etc) uploading (saved on there space). But no domain, I mean no URL. So how could we find it. Either we have to register our domain there on same web hosting provider or have to transfer from any other place.

Am I right?

[ashraf fawzy]

I'm sure you are right , but for sorry I don't have - till now - good idea about hosting and other services they provide , I was just in need to get a temporary site to publish one of my project for a competation reason .
and I'll appreciate if you help me at my thread :

[eranga262154]

Don't worry. As I said the worst thing in the world is FREE. Free web hosting + charged domain registration. Some of them provide free hosting and free domain registration. But the domain comes with the part of thee URL.

e.g:

YourNaem.SreviceProviderName.com

I believe that is too bad in affiliate/e-commerce.

[ashraf fawzy]

As much you pay ... As much you get

[eranga262154]

100% correct. Thats the reality of a forum.

[ashraf fawzy]

Now .... I think I can sign the thread "Resolved" , but I think that any one how see the end of thread will become no more optimistic .

[eranga262154]

I hope it is better now. If you have further put here stating with different topic.

[ashraf fawzy]

Do you mean another question under the same name of the thread , or change the name of thread and add another question.

[eranga262154]

Change both. Another question, another name, another thread.


Am I confusing you. If so really sorry.
