Where can i host my stuff for free
Aug 31st, 2005, 6:20am  
I would do so much more if i knew other people could see it somehow. I dont have the money for my own site and blogger won't host applets. Does anyone know of good free hosting for this kind of mini-site? I just want to post individual sketches.

Thanks in advance,
Josh

I went through a couple of free sites from here before I went and bought a domain space:

http://www.100best-free-web-space.com/

The problem with free sites is that you're going to have baners all over your work and that can get pretty annoying. I myself am paying about £12 a year for 200mb of space and 1gb bandwidth a month. And after a little snooping I've found cheaper than that (http://www.basichost.net/) although my contract still goes till May next year. It's worth paying at least a tenner a year because you'll be pretty much guaranteed being able to use PHP or another CGI language if you purchase a domain. If you want to carry on experimenting with your work you may find that some solutions require a bit of extra code in the HTML that you won't be allowed to use on a free site. This includes things like loading external files.

Alternatively if you have any coding buddies you might be able to get a few domains between you and save costs.

Good luck searching and shop around even with the free sites - some offer raw deals some don't.
