|
|
John, who has resurrected the Nickri Champion (Ford-based special) I once had, is looking for a reliable free web hosting service, so that he can re-locate the webpages that he has created, describing the rebuild.
Can anyone recommend a free service? he's been using Orange but they are pulling the plug on their free web hosting apparently. Its a long time since I used a freebie hosting service, so I've no idea who is doing it now

With prices of domain name nowadays its not worth using the free ones. Apart from anything on the internet there is no such thing as free and you end up with pop ups
I use a company called web-at-work and you can by a site for as little £5 a year .coms are a bit dearer but I just bought one at £15 a year _________________ www.OldFrenchCars.com

I think you can get limited free space with UK2, but I think you end up with their header. If you want it without, you pay more. Domain names are cheap enough through them.............I have lots of them, just wish I knew how to build a webpage  _________________ 1964 International Harvester |

Hi
We have some webspace with the Broadband provider, but otherwise UK hosts seems pretty good, not free however!
Cheers

That's what I use, currently host my three basic sites on 100mb allowance (using about 40mb)....depends how much space he needs really.

I get space with my Easynet e-mail account but it's not free £50 a year to be precise, but it's blooming reliable so that's why I use it.

p.s. I haven't updated the site for a while now - been too busy at work!  |
