| 389344 | 2005-09-19 05:24:00 | I have recently built myself a website which I have finally got to an uploadable state. However, when I went to sign myself for 10mb free webspace at orcon I found they no longer offer the service (that I can find nyway) :( So onto faithfull google i go but to my horror there seems to be no such thing as free add free webspace anymore. Does anyone out there know of anywhere that still offers this or am I still in a utopian dream? Any advice would be great Thanks Note: I am looking for Add free ie; no banners, popups or anything. subdomain names dont bother me (ie: www.mysite.provider.com ) |

| 389345 | 2005-09-19 06:42:00 | 10 megs seems heaps to me. With e3 (part of orcon last time I looked it up) I get 5 megs which is ample for a basic website. IMHO | mark c (247) | ||

| 389347 | 2005-09-19 06:48:00 | hey, yip 10megs is heaps for what i want but sadly orcon no longer offer this service, at least not to people who dont have internet with then. With e3, do you have to subscribe to their internet service to get the free web space? thanks |

| 389348 | 2005-09-19 06:55:00 | Yes. That's what I meant really. With your ISP deal you usually get so much 'free' space on their servers. Don't know about anything truly free otherwise. I mean the 'free' space is really part of the package. Like you could go to McDonalds buy a burger and get a 'free' paper bag as well. :D | mark c (247) | ||
| 389349 | 2005-09-19 07:25:00 | I took a look at a few of the hosting companies in a thread here a couple of days ago and TJR Networks has 25MB for $7.50 a year which seems pretty reasonable. Though if you want full email features etc you may want to get a slightly more expensive plan but I think it might be better than having to deal with ads and things like that with free hosts. :) | bob05 (8721) | ||
| 389350 | 2005-09-19 07:51:00 | x10hosting.com Basic plan is free, ad free too. |

| 389353 | 2005-09-19 08:10:00 | There are free web hosts still around, no advertising, etc, although the "Free" part can be debatable. I've been associated with http://astahost.com for nearly 2 years, which is around the time it started. They offer free web hosting, yet the payment is you have to actively participate in our forums, it's done this way as we want people who show commitment to wanting their site up, otherwise if we just offered it to anyone, we'd get a lot of wasted space and would have to monitor people's traffic just to understand who is or isn't using their site. The best directory I believe for finding free webhosts is http://www.free-webhosts.com/ which also has user reviews, but I would not solely rely on the reviews, it's best to judge it yourself, due to so many changes that goes on, you can't expect everything to be perfect.
