Hey, guys! I'm wondering, is there such thing as free web hosting? Or atleast under USD5 fee per year? I know there's a cheap domain name but i need a reliable web hosting. Any infos?

There are numerous hosting companies where you can host your site. The problem is that most of them put a decent load of unwanted ads on your site and to remove them you'll have to pay for a premium account. I forgot the site but I think there are some that do not place adds but you gain access to other great features if you are premium. If I remember I'll write down the URL.

Yeah that's true. Alot of companies will say its free web hosting, and it really is. But they all put alot of ads on your website. Besides that they won't provide you with much space. I doubt you can get your own domain for FREE, unless you have hookups. But as for just web hosting, there is lots of free web hosting out there, but I don't know how many of them are actually legit.

Many hosting companies offers a free hosting. Some are specialised for freehosting but unfortunataly there are ads and pop ups on them. If this doesn't bother you use one.
You'll have to register a domain (paid) if don't want to use a free subdomain (something like: yoursite.hostingcompany.com).

Yeah I knew all about the free hosting. The problem is it has ads and banners that you probably won’t want. I also knew that there are free SUB domains. But what about normal domains. Do they have those for free? I haven’t been able to find any. So far, all I’ve found is free web hosting, which is usually filled with ads. Does anyone know of free domains or free web hosting without ads and stuff?

There is a site which provides free hosting.

atspace.com

You can host your domain FREE. No ads.

I found it useful in in past day's. I am not using it for last 6 months.

I am not sure, they are live or not.

there are plenty of sites offering free web hosting. the problems with these companies is that their sites are banner sponsored and sometimes they have limitations on what pages they support. I am using one free web host named phpnet.us, you can check it out but if you want a dependable web host, go got the paid ones.

Yes , there is in the form of blogs , other wise if you want a complete own domain name you will have to go for paid web hosting .Budget hosts almost always used to be slow and overloaded and many still are, but with bandwidth costs as low as they are today giant managed server farms located in data centers are now a very reasonable alternative, especially if you host multiple domains or require less support.

Go for blogspot , i mean blogger.co , i think that is a best idea if you want all the benefits of a website plus quite a good service and hosting space . plus there rae numerous benefits that i cannot list alll here , but you will have to compromise with the domain name as there is .blogspot included in the website name , als there is freewebs.com also that has some good benefits , if you do not want your website in the form of a blog and want to make a other kind of website .
