Suppose a feller wanted to set up a website...nothing fancy...just to post a few pics or a blog or whatnot...what other free options are there other than tripod? Which are the best?
-
For the internet savvy
-
Or the more popular [Myspace][0] Of course if you want total freedom in look and feel you can create a yahoo email address and then use that to set up a free page on Geocities
[0]: http://www.myspace.com -
I'm not so much looking for the community type sites like myspace or xanga. Looking more for actual web page hosting like tripod.
-
It does suckf, but uhhhhh what ya gonna do when your looking for a free hosting service?
Damien...geocities is what your looking for, you can use an editor or you can write your html to edit your page.
fits is the shits but for free you cant bitch too much. -
ohhh shit!How did I forget that nearly every damned ISP allows its users a page?Christ I have a buncha spaceo n Comcast I forgot about I can go use up! The general rule is no buisness pages on a personal account but all most all ISP's I ever used or had any dealings with give users some type of page space.I now feel stupid for not thinking of that before I sendt someone tof Geoshitty.com

If you can write the code yourself and you're looking for plain hosting of your files with no advertising, I've found ripway.com to be good. You need to remember to log in from time to time or they assume the account is dormant and delete it.

In reply to: Your ISP, InsightBB (if I'm correct) has hosting. That's a great idea that I hadn't thought of. However, I'm moving in a few months and probably won't be with Insight then.I'm just being difficult, aren't I?

You can get a domain name for something like $9 a year, which you can keep forever. That's what Go Daddy charges. I think they give you a free web page with it (good for simple things), or you can point your domain name (thing.com, www.thing.com, thing.org, thing.us, etc.) to any Web page, no matter where it's hosted.

its les then that on godaddy and the hosting fee funs like 3 bucks a month payable a year in advance and gives you like 100 email addys you can create. its a yearly renew or lose deal.Thats where I register and host all my stuff thru. Eventually Ill be buying my own server but I havent gotten deep enough into it yet to bother, just a few pages is all I need at the present.If you do multiple pages godaddy lets you register them all at dicounts.on the coupon coe when buying and rfegistering you can enter saveten and knock 10% off of your total cost.Its a secret so dont tell em I told ya

Go Daddy 1-Year Pricing* (New Registrations) .com .us .net .org .biz$8.95 $7.95 $8.95 $7.95 $7.95.info .ws .cc .tv .name$5.95 $9.99 $19.95 $34.95 $9.95I use them for domain name registration, but my "regular domain name" that I use with my e-mail is with Network Solutions. They're way expensive, and have a long history of being a pain in the butt, but I already signed up the domain there for several years. They're my mail server, thought.[The UBB software must be trying to save storage by collapsing all strings of spaces and tabs down to a single space -- although I don't see what converting a tab to a space saves -- and destroying formatting. So much for the above table.]
-
It's not UBB's fault, it's standard browser behaviour, dictated by HTML specifications, I believe. You're supposed to use a table:.com.us.net.org.biz$8.95$7.95$8.95$7.95$7.95.info.ws.cc.tv.name$5.95$9.99$19.95$34.95$9.95

Ahhhh.....tables. Forgot about the table thing. Browsers don't much like white space, unless you're insistant.
-
huh, I don't remember it costing me 9 for a domain registration. did the prices just go up or am I just lousy at remembering?either way I looked alot before deciding on go-daddy, they are the cheapest and I haven't had a single complaint over them,at least from my self. The saveten does give a discount though, it still worked a few months ago, I haven't bought any more domains since about December? maybe it was early January and it worked then, 10% off your total.
-
Dunno...I just copied that table off their Web site. Maybe they give you a break for transferred domain names. I transferred a .us domain name to Go Daddy for $6.95, which includes a year of hosting.
