A typical query:
I made a website on NVU, and I was wondering if I could somehow put it on the internet for free. Does anyone know of any kind of service that allows you to do this for free? Thanks.
Answer: Here is why many business owners are wrong about getting free web hosting. Free hosting will most probably never be the best hosting for you. Web hosting is the heart of your web presence and can mean the life or death to your business.
To answer your query, here are 7 factors to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:
- lets you try their service for free or at very low price,
- gives more-than-enough webspace,
- offers no limit on bandwidth,
- gives multiple add-on domains,
- has friendly Site Builder,
- has Fantastico and QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
- can be easily upgraded to VPS or one of their cheap dedicated server plans if and when your business require.
To answer your question, why not try Hostgator. If you need an “unlimited” hosting plan, experts usually highly recommend going with Hostgator because they are the best cheap cpanel hosting around.

Who Should Not Try Hostgator
To be honest, no web hosting service is perfect. Drawback of Hostgator includes:
- No free domain name – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
- You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost

Mishra Your Answer: First thing you must note down that if you want your website to be free of cost for you cant have your own domain name i.e. it cant be
http://www.yourname.com etc for free.
However , it can be free if you compramise with subdomain like
yourname.serviceprovider.com or http://www.serviceprovider.com/yourna... etc
but you can have free webspace.
then follow these steps
1. Go to one of the free web hosting website(listed below)
go and search the best web web hosting on
http://www.freewebspace.net
or go directly to the one selected by me
http://www.awardspace.com
2. Register for free and remember your password.
3. Create your home page on your PC using html(if you dont know html you can create it using FRONTPAGE which is provided by Microsoft in windows 2000 or you can download a html editor from net also).
4. Save this page as index.htm
5. Now login in your free webhosting account and go to file manager(most of the webhosting websites have file manager)
6. Upload your "index.htm" page at top level without renaming
7. if you want more than one pages in your website then create those pages with your html editor(FrontPage)with their different names and provide links in your homepage(index.htm) targetting each of those page. (in target dont type the web address , just type the name of the target with extension like help.htm)
8. Upload those other pages also at same level.
9. Pictures can also be provided by same method(hyperlink the picture in page and upload it in file manager at same level)

Geocities does but you’re not gonna get much out of any free web host. You might as well spend $1.99 for a domain name (like a whatever.com/.org/.net/etc) and pay like $3 a month for hosting.
I believe, if you have a cable modem service (i.e. roadrunner), they give you space for your site. You’d need to go to your provide ‘cable’ site and get the instructions.
yahoo offers web pages for free, so does geocities. as for web servers, there are some out there, but you’ll have to look for them
You can use Yahoo’s Geocities – the free version has very annoying ads on it, but they disappear with a click. For about $5/month you can make the ads go away.
As I say, the ads are annoying, but you can test out your site and show it to other people and when you’re ready, you can pay the $5.
