Free website

[no leaf clover]

Hey guys,

A quick question:

I'm going to quit my paid hosting for my website and want to move it to a free one.
I know that free websites have limited space.

But I want to know what the options are.

I would like to have the possibility to add info pages with screenshots (for the video shows).
Artwork doesn't bother me much. No problem if I can't add it.

Of all free websites I have seen I like the one of our member damageinc (Zoltan) the most: http://damageinz.webs.com/
(At least I assume it's free because it is made with Freewebs)

I also know that a website can be made with google and with db.etree.org but the last one is just a list. I'm more looking for a real website.

Also I would like to know if I can copy and paste most part of my html and css code so that I can continue with the layout of my current website or at least most of it. I would be highly disappointed if I had to start over again.

I know GoDaddy offers free website hosting if you have a domain name with them.

http://www.000webhost.com is another place to try out.

Thanks, but it's not made with freewebs. I created the whole website (using CSS), freewebs is just the host. I think they are fine, using them since 2008 without any problem. All you have to do is avoiding those annoying random ads by placing a floating or stationary "freebar" on every page of your site. I recommend the second option, because you can put it anywhere like I did to the footer so it's that visible comparing to the floating one.

Also, I think the host space should be enough for screens without paying a cent. At least it was cool for me when I had screens and stuff back then. Uploading many files is a bitch since bulk upload is only allowed for premium users. If you have any questions about FW let me know.

umm host it yourself!

I'm running apache, have a domain from afraid so there you go. only disadvantage is you have to leave your computer on 24/7

I had thought about that before but it's not an option right now because of the electrical bill.

my computer consumes 84 kw/h per month, imo it isnt that much. you can also get another computer with minimum specs just for server use, the consumed energy will be less as well.

Ask Hugo, he might be able to set you up with free basic hosting.
