Free Web Hosting

monkey-d-luffy

Does anyone knows a free efficient web host?
I just want to make a site about some of my research (I'll post the link later if you want)

Thanks a lot

Joe

What do you want on your host?

- Specs?
- OS?
- Services?

If you don't really know how to answer these questions, tell us about your research, and we'll tell you what you need :-)

powweb.com
I am hosting like 10 sites there on a $5 (or 6?) per month account, and have been with them for over 5 years.
I also think dreamhost.com are good.
I am assuming you do not need a VPS, just shared hosting, and use PHP/MySQL.

Are you going to use PHP or ASP.NET to create the website? If you're going to use PHP then you'll need a Linux web-host. In this case, I recommend x10Hosting.com

MrClass

10xhosting.com is good. You can also check heliohost.org

ok ok this is too much "technical" for me
I just did research on multiple Sclerosis, a disease which is frequent nowadays and it hits a lots of Lebanese (more than we imagine because people who has this disease usually hide themselves)
I used Microsoft Front Page to create the page, everything is ready I just need a host...

If I have to pay then I think I'll register also to Google Adsense ;)

If you're looking for quality hosting with extremely good plans and great support I would recommend Hostgator , it may be pricy but I think the service is worth what you pay for.

Joe

It all boils down to this: You either want to pay, or not. Free hosting plans will put advertisements on your website and will give you an ugly domain name like: www.lebsclerosis.my-super-ugly-domain-name.com

Good new is that good domain names are cheap (never more than 10$ a year). As for hosting, you will need the cheapest option which is around 10$ a month (give or take).

And forget about AdSense. It will only generate money when your visit counts gets super high. Instead it will only "pollute" your website :-)

I'll think more about it... Too bad geocities closed :(

And forget about AdSense. It will only generate money when your visit counts gets super high

Super high mean like how much???
Man I think making a blog would be the best choice

rtp

free webserver witth no advertisment banner or anything... http://www.000webhost.com/

You might want to consider hosting your stuff on a github repo in case you don't mind it being open source.

Never thought about open source.... I'm gonna read it too
If you have other site I'd appreciate (:

rolf

I can host it for you. I have a domain called weknowtoomuch.com
You can host it on a subdomain or folder, or if you can come up with a generic domain name (that is not taken) I can also buy that for people like you who want to host stuff :) for free of course.
