    Smile I need a free web hosting site.

    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.

    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.

    Re: I need a free web hosting site.

    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.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.

    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.

    Re: I need a free web hosting site.

    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 :-)
    Well, everyone else has been doing it :-)

    If I have helped you, RATE ME! :-)

    I love helping noobs with their VB problems (probably because, as an amateur programmer, I am only slightly better at VB than them :-)) but if you SERIOUSLY want to get help for free from a community such as VBForums, you have to first have a grounding (basic knowledge) in VB6, otherwise you're way too much work to help...You've got to give a little if you want to get help from us, in other words!

    And we DON'T do your homework. If your tutor doesn't teach you enough to help you make the project without his or her help, FIND A BETTER TUTOR or try reading books on programming! We are happy to help with minor things regarding the project, but you have to understand the rest of it if you want our help to be useful.

    Correct.
    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.

    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.

    Re: I need a free web hosting site.

    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.

    Re: I need a free web hosting site.

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

    Re: I need a free web hosting site.

    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

    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...

    Re: I need a free web hosting site.

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

    Re: I need a free web hosting site.

    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?

    Re: I need a free web hosting site.

    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.
