    Question Free Web hosting/Domain registration?

    Hi,


    Does anyone know of any free web hosting companies that will also register a domain name for you?

    Just want something for fun - nothing major like PHP, Databases, OLTP etc.

    And not too bothered about speed/uptime/reliablity...


    Did a quick search on this forum but didn't find anything.


    Anyone use one? Any comments/reviews?

    Got to get it right if I am registering a domain name!


    Thanks

    Re: Free Web hosting/Domain registration?

    if you just fancy messing around with a webserver/html, why not self-host and install apache and go from there?

    not sure anywhere that will give you free domain reg tho - i use freeparking.co.uk, they seem to offer everything i want

    We use Blue Host for GuildCom...they aren't free, but they're very cheap, and you get a domain (and a lot of monthly bandwidth and unlimited storage).

    Re: Free Web hosting/Domain registration?

    Thanks for the suggestions streetster and 2Cold.

    I was curious if such companies/services exists out there... i've seen the www.makeupyourdomain.theircompanysubdomain.net etc jobbos.

    I just want a free, if not super cheap way of leaving a web presence...

    I got dynamic IP ISP (I know about dydns etc.), but I also dont really need/want to leave a box online 24/7...


    Maybe i'm asking for too much! hehe.

    Re: Free Web hosting/Domain registration?

    domain (your own top level d.n.) names registered for free only happen when you order a hosting package with a seller/reseller. otherwise you'll have to make do with the free websites ones.

    what have you got to get right if you're buying a domain name?

    if you mean the site then you can build it and test it on your pc if it isn't php based. If it is php based you can download easyphp and use that as a webserver. It makes life easier rather than uploading your script to your webhost to test.

    with cpanel etc.
