420902 2006-01-14 09:10:00 I was wondering if orcon is still giving free webhosting. I've looked at their site but I've always find it tricky to navigate, I can't find the link to make a new account.

And I was wondering if you can put google adsense adds on free orcon hosted sites.



Thanks

420903 2006-01-14 09:13:00 Old time Orcon customers, like me, still have our free hosting accounts. But yeah, I also can't find where to sign up for new accounts. Greg (193)

Same here :)

I think they might off stop it for now.

I won’t of thought that would be an issue.

Yeah, I thought of like when zfree accounts was being auctioned on trademe. They might not like you making money off their free services.

Anyway, do you guys recommend other free webhosting services? Preferably clean and add free like orcon was. Also would be nice if it was NZ based.

Suggest do a search for free webhosting here on PressF1 - the subjects come up a few times. Greg (193)

Also would be nice if it was NZ based.In my opinion free hosting is a waste of time when paid hosting is so cheap. Is it really worth dealing with poor uptime, intrusive adds/forum posting and slow servers all to save US$20 to US$30 per year? :confused: maccrazy (6741)
420910 2006-01-14 22:45:00 There are lots of hosts that are free or very cheap.

Google is your friend, just remember you get exactly what you pay for.

Lucky I already have an existing orcon account with the free hosting. But the site url is not what I want. There is a option to delete that site. But I don't know if you can re-create another free site when you'll deleted that old one.
