Free hosting?

M3GAPL3X · 04-15-2003, 08:29 PM

Hi all,
I need to find a free web host that offers no ads and that's basically it for my senior project. I have tried Brinkster but it is really becoming a pain in the ass now. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Can't you petetion your school for some space? finding free webspace without ads is a pretty hard task.

I already asked them. They are a bunch of a-holes. You know high school techs are, asking them to give you access to some web site space makes them protray you as a security threat.

how much space do you need? what are you working on?

perhaps i will donate some.

Free web space with no ads? Why would anyone offer that? Sounds like a good way to go broke.

If part of your project requires web space the school should provide you with the resources. Can you talk to your teacher? counselor? perhaps even the principal?

I just emailed the school again asking if we can work some things out. They just told me that they would provide me with some space, a lousy 2mb and I would have to update the webpage only when I am at school.

I guess geocities.com can be the last resort. I'll see how things work out! Thanks for replying though!

why don't you run it from home?

if you don't need to host pictures (or even if you do although it's a little more involved then) I would recommend this:

http://sdf.lonestar.org

it's completely free and easily accessed. You access the site through a subdomain so you don't have a www. url (although you could just host it there I guess).

I say no pictures because the free account is limited in how you can access it so although its a bit more of a pain this is one way.

It is against my ISP (ATT Broadband, soon to be Comcast) TOS policy. If there is a method that I can do where they can't detect it, please tell me so I can use this method! Thanks abc!

Saline, I appreciate the link.

Thanks again guys!:rock:

If you are running a small webserver off your computer then there isn't really an issue.

webservers are against the TOS because they dont want you setting up huge websites ect...

Just run the webserver on a different port.

either that, or just run it on the local host (127.x.x.x), i can't imagine there is a reason you'd need it to be public.
