Anyone know where I can hold a free website?

[PL2007]

Nguyen, I've been there and my site isn't even commercial as such. It's just a free games lounge. Period.

I tried free webspace and keywords got completely dismissed, PHP scripts were not enabled and what's worse is that from what I can understand (I am totally self-taught which can be a nightmare) the more content you have up there, the more pages that will simply not display for the user. If you cram the freespace up to the hilt, even one user would have a problem seeing the pages. At least, I think that's right.

I moved over to paid hosting. £50 a year and now I can add as many games as I want and they will display for every user. Keywords galore and more.

As they are saying you get what you pay for.

Free space can work if the site doesn't have too many requests or too much content.

I want a business website for a product I'm selling

But I'm a little broke and my parents dont give me an allowance

Does anyone know any services that let oyu have a website for free, while giving you full control of like, everything from he gfx to the pretty much everything?

I've heard of google pages, but you need a cell phone to set up your account, which I do not have. If you have a google pages site tell me how it is as well.

I personally like freewebs
http://www.freewebs.com

It's a really good one

you get 5 sub-domains, an FTP server with PHP, PERL etc. installed and its free
i think its pretty good, also, it is Ad-Free

Honestly, running apache on your own computer is the best way to go.  Hundreds of gigs of storage space, unlimited bandwidth (of course you're limited by your own connection's upload speed), and you can put whatever you want on the site.

I hadn't even touched Apache before I set my site up, and I think(?) I'm running a pretty secure server right now.  Using a dynamic DNS service can net you a decently professional looking address (unlike mine, which I chose for memorability, which turns out to be not so good anyway).

Of course, if you have a "business" that's not even making you the $10 per year it costs to buy a domain name, I don't think you need to worry a ton about how professional your address sounds.

That's my take.
