    Default Know of any good free web servers?

    hey everyone.....I just wanted to see if anyone knows of any good free web servers. I only know of Geocities, Netscape, and Angelfire. Out of those 3 Angelfire is the best. Geocities is ok, and Netscape it pityful. So if ya know of any good ones (the best one) please start posting! Oh and if you have a website post your address if ya don't mind k.


    Oh yea I almost forgot heres my address/URL: http://www.geocities.com/inuyasha_th...003/index.html
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Geocities,angelfire and other "so called free" hosters are just all a bunch of crap.

    Try lycos (tripod)

    and if you have a good connection to the net ( cable or DSL (aDSL will also do) you might concider running apache off your home machine ( http://www.apache.org )


    Concider this : free hosts don't exist,Free don't last long. They usually screw you over


    p.s. if your site is that small i might concider hosting it off my server. (no banners no crap) [edit]for more info check your pm box[/edit]

    I will do this. Nothing in my life matters except this. No moment in my life exists except this moment. I am born in this moment, and if I fail, I will die in this moment.

    Lycos.co.uk, but I'd highly suggest springing for a cheap server. You can get one for under $40 a year...

    Lycos.co.uk

    Better than its U.S. counterpart, because of the crappy php and inferior phpMyAdmin, hey, better than nothing, 50mb of space and a couple hundred mb of bandwidth a month. But yeah, paid is soooo much better.

    I assume paid servers are ad free? If they're that cheap, I might move off of angelfire. If they have ads, I really have no incentive. Free servers are only tolerable with ads because they're free.

    Good hosts don't make you run ads. There are a lot of shysters out there though. Lots of shady webhosts. Good to do tons of research before picking one if you plan to pay. I looked at about a hundred hosts before I picked the one I paid for. www.lunarpages.com

    Thanks Unne. I wouldn't exactly know what the perks and downfalls of all the different hosts are, but I know your site is pretty fast and stable (no white screens of death). I'll see about this Lunar.

    Lunarpages isn't the host I use for my FF1 site, it's what I use for chwombat.net which so far has nothing on it but some pictures of origami and junk.
