truly free webhosting for 3 years--hot deal
 

thanks i signed up - but do i have to pay for a domain? It seems like i do... hmm if so what can i do with the account?

hmm.. went back and it says i have a domain but it's some random stuff .onlinehome.us.. went there and 404.. bah i'm a newb..

gonna sign up even though it seems too good to be true... well here goes nothing...

email me if you don't want your account

yeah you have to get a domain, luckily i had one prior.

but yeah if you're not gonna use it i could surely. contact me!

hmm i set up a site and published it.. but i can't get it to work... sigh..

Whats specificly wrong?

if i knew i'd fix it.. ok i go to the domain.. some letters and numbers.onlinehome.us and it says "this has been registered by one of our customers blah blah.. there's a step i'm missing obviously

heh.. if not more than one step, so they actually give out free subdomains?

well so does geocities and tripod etc..

ya but those are a joke... ftp use for those suck as well as storage space

There's tons of good free hosting services that let you use subdomains. I go here to find what I need when I need some space for a specific purpose.

ok i don't know what happened to my reply, i had something typed a while ago in reply but never posted i guess :O

first geocities and tripod don't have subdomains for your use.
also

"some letters and numbers.onlinehome.us and it says "this has been registered by one of our customers blah blah.. there's a step i'm missing obviously"

you're only missing the part where you upload your html to replace their default one that is placeholding for you.

most registrars give out free subdomains, this one gives you 50. the reason they only allow 50 instead of unlimited is probably because of DNS limits of their nameservers that they own. whereas with a bigger registrar would probably give you as many as you want, and some hosting gives you it too.

anyway. if you got that site that you explained, just replace your site's html with it.

Heh. You might want to talk to jason about that... hes been known to delete posts :lol:

Coulda been me and you'd never know...

Is this not free anymore?

i dunno.. didn't work anyway..

It hasn't been working for a while. If you want very cheap hosting, however, try SiteFlip.com; they have $.99 hosting, and it's not bad either.

booya for geocities! :nod:

Ye abut FREE is alot better tyhen 99 cents... and if any one has a 1&1 acct they dont need, I really need it. really bad. I have planned to do somthing with it.. PLZ

i know this is a month old, and i shall beaten with a week old pizza crust till i cry for mercy for responding to such an old post... but...

demetriuscrisco, do you have a high speed connection and an old machine sittin around? you could load a flavor of linux on that bad boy and you'd have free hosting. just buy your domain name and point it at your server.

later

Keep in mind that some ISPs prohibit hosting. Check with your ISP to be sure.
