pauljones52 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I want to move my website from my current host (150m.com), as it adds way too many adverts! Does anyone have any recommendations for a good site for free website hosting?Many thanks, matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Try 95mb.com. It has a few oddities as well (propably like all free services) but they're mostly acceptable (in my opinion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielbb90 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) either geocities.com (low space but closeable adverts)or http://www.100webspace.com/Where mine is at ( http://dannybb.uni.cc/ )STAY AWAY FROM www.0catch.com and 150m.com!

dex Otaku Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Install Apache and a DYNDNS client, use your own puter as a webserver. You have total control, you pay no one for anything but your ISP bills, you have access to raw logs... Been doing it for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielbb90 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Just the one thing...Dousn't that make your comp vunerable to hacking!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Dousn't that make your comp vunerable to hacking!?It doesn't really make it any more vulnerable to hacking than it was beforehand. What it -does- do is make you a more visible target, since you are now inviting incoming traffic. Apache itself is unlikely to be the source of any hacking troubles [unless you install insecure scripting modules or something].I have been running Apache on my home [Windows] machine since about 1998. In that time I've never had a single successful hack related to Apache. I get logged attempts on the server every single day, but most of them are aimed at attacking various exploits of Microsoft server software [the rest are aimed at specific Perl, PHP, Python &c. scripts that are http server-independent]. The fact that Apache runs the majority of the net, but that nearly all exploit attempts are aimed at MS products is rather telling, if you ask me.I'll note that in that same time period, I've also never had anyone successfully hack my machine by any other means. As an addendum to that: since 1998 I've had a pretty steady logged attack attempt rate of between 100-500 per DAY when using broadband connections of any kind. And no one has ever gotten in, that I'm aware of. Mind you .. I run AV software with scanning turned OFF 75% of the time, and I don't run anti-malware scans more than once a month; despite this, and the fact that I use the net daily, I have never gotten a virus that I did not apply myself out of curiosity [i was about to reinstall anyway] and I don't get adware, spyware, popups, worms, or trojans. This is mostly because I know how to avoid them by using available tools such a firewall software properly. It's also because the only reason I ever open Internet Exploder is to run Windows Update.In the end, it's important for me to say, perhaps, that my suggestion above is more jest than anything else. The majority of users do not have the time nor the inclination to learn how to manage a server themselves. Anyone not willing to learn what needs to be done should clearly NOT attempt to do so.

danielbb90 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I was going to but I was worried about hacking / insecurity!Where is your website anyway! Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Where is your website anyway! There's nothing there to see, really. The actual "site" that used to be there has been removed [by me] and its only remaining function is as an image server [the original reason I set it up anyway].

KrazyIvan Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Just make sure your ISP is okay with it. Check you TOS to verify that you can have a web server with the service you purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauljones52 Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Thanks for everyones input, I found this one: http://www.one.fsphost.com/- 250MB webspace- browser and ftp upload- ad-free webhosting- no registration required- no filesize limit!- short domain: fsphost.com/usernamejust pick a username and click create, no personal details required. It seems very good so far with no adverts and no filesize limits or blocked extentions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
