Free and reliable webspace

**Howard** · 22-08-2003, 03:38 PM

Where can I get free and reliable webspace, I just want simple FTP access, no adverts, no bandwidth limits or anything. What is available?

**kaillum** · 22-08-2003, 03:45 PM

www.brinkster.com

no ftp access, but web uploading.. no adverts and 500mg transfer per month.. more than enough for my little site...

NTL ARE F***ING HOPELESS AND USELESS TO MANKIND.

I NEED somewhere to host my site/sig without paying.

**Donny John** · 22-08-2003, 04:22 PM

That link worked 1st time (v. funny btw), not working now though, wtf!!

**kaillum** · 22-08-2003, 04:23 PM

get a geocites account, and but change your file extensions to .txt

my sig is hosted there using

h**p://www.geocities.com/kaillum/sig.txt

**Howard** · 22-08-2003, 04:27 PM

Geocities are almost as bad as NTL. And they have a bandwidth limit which is pretty awful.
I'm currently trying to get through to NTL customer service to sort it out but they are "very busy"

**Donny John** · 22-08-2003, 04:29 PM

Same linkage problems with www.freewebspace.com pop-up hell there btw, don't know any others sorry Howard. I think free sites for what we want to do are a thing of the past now m8

edit: Just found http://www.freesite.org/

edit: Nah, no good, remote linkage forbidden: http://signup.freesite.org/signup_after3choice

**Howard** · 22-08-2003, 04:30 PM

Then I'll just have to keep hassling NTL till I get results, won't I?

If you host at geocities then lots of users like me just see a red cross

, 2 much pron there m8

a la:

Access to http://www.geocities.com/ is not possible through Hertfordshire Learning Grid, because it contains material which is inappropriate for use in schools.

**kaillum** · 22-08-2003, 04:44 PM

ah right.. never knew that DJ... thought my work was bad enough.. hmmmm you get through to Tripod???

**Donny John** · 22-08-2003, 05:00 PM
