Hey http://www.xug.net looks good so far.
More promising than any of the others I have tried (I have tried most of them I can assure you).

Cool Free Pages? Tch, you should no better. Its like Lycos but no staff instead of 3.

BTW, http://www.lycos.co.uk has a good service. Only issues are the fact that theres a 5:3 chance the servers will be down and a banner devours you page (I DO MEAN DEVOUR and PAGE).
Support sucks too, but, the features are hard to match unless you payeth ££££.

[wolfmaster]

Try lycos thats includes PHP4 and My SQL
or try
Surfree

http://www.surfree.co.uk

[wolfmaster]

yer but at http://www.xug.net you need to report on the forum weekly

[Gnome]

i got hosting from a network called lostrealms

if u joi there irc channel (irc.lostrealm.org #lostrealms) and say the Gnome Sent u and ask for hosting (to a persone called complied) he will give u kewl hosting

php mysql asp front page ect

[OK-OK]

how bout banners, space and bandwitch?

[Gnome]

unlimeted space and bandwidth (too some extent) no banners eather

all u have to do is get as many ppl as u can to join the irc channel

and tell them that Gnome sent you

[Gamer-X]

Help!!

I Can't Login to my Account. What happened? I've registered 2 times, but still can't login

[OK-OK]

I really hate xugs, they never activated my account

[dn]

There seems to be lots of useful links here, so I think I will make it sticky. In my time here, there have been ALOT of requests for free hosts, so maybe this should cut them down to size ;) Thanks for starting it Ali !

[404]

as freewebspace elders advice you, the best host is paid host ... hmmm

[Gamer-X]

why we need a free host?
That because we don't have much money

[Gamer-X]

http://www.t35.com

How about this site?

[OK-OK]

This site is too good to be true...

[RZetlin]

You could always try the infamous geocities (http://www.geocities.com) websites. ;)

[chillypacman]

I was developing a website myself but found it real tough to get free webspace so now i can continue on thanx again!

[Gamer-X]

anyone knows webhosting that support php + mysql?

[Novice_Gamer]

[Hydra]

It depends they will start to take up space from say avatars and attachment systems. Also the database size itself wount be too big, but the more posts the bigger it gets.

[Novice_Gamer]

Is that why its so slow to connect...? See for yourself (http://www.EGGforum.cjb.net)

[Mohd]

I was going to buy a host in lycos but my friend advice me not to host on it because it is slow (I mean paid site)

[Novice_Gamer]

u think that um Ngemu will let me make a forum that asks for money...?

I was thinking of netfirm's free plan or there are better ones on the net... Is it a good choice or not.

[RZetlin]

I am looking a webhosting site to host some MP3s.

Space is not a concern, but bandwidth is.

Does anybody know of a site that offers unlimited or very high bandwidth?

[RZetlin]

Geocities (http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/learn2/WhatYouGet4_Free.html) finally indicates how much bandwidth is offered for their free package.

It's 3 GB per month, but does it mean when it is monitored hourly?

[zukeft]

Site bandwidth usage statistics are only presented every hour, not realtime.

[Zapages]

oic.. thanks for that link DL

[finalight]

web1000 (http://web1000.com) is a free webhosting site I'm using currently right now

[Gamer-X]

try this www.freehu.com

[Aaron O.]

Are there any other mySQL hosts that are free, I mean, I'm picky and I don't like the pop-unders that coolfreepages.com has and lycos.co.uk has been acting strange on my browser. Today, I received by e-mail my vBulletin 3.0.0 public beta and I was wondering what servers support it that are free.

[finalight]

http://www.spaceports.com

[Gamer1]

if i were you guys, and if i have either cable or dsl, host it yourself!!! i suggest a program called apache for web hosting. It's free, and your space is only limited to your hard drive

[RamsusX]

if i were you guys, and if i have either cable or dsl, host it yourself!!! i suggest a program called apache for web hosting. It's free, and your space is only limited to your hard drive

Interesting suggestion, but you should also include these tips/warnings:

1. Your ISP might not like you doing that. Be sure to check your TOS first.

2. If you are assigned a dynamic IP address then your site can be difficult to find. You'll have to use a service such as dyndns.org in this case or talk your ISP into letting you have a static IP address.

3. If you're behind a hardware firewall, set it so port 80 redirects to your PC. If you aren't behind any firewall (software or hardware), install one.

4. If you have a computer you don't regularly use on your LAN, install Linux or *BSD on it and set it up as your webserver. Then have your router redirect port 80 to that computer. This way, you don't have to always have your computer running, and httpd won't be eating up the CPU and memory resources on your computer.

5. Keep in mind download speeds for your visitors depend on your upload speed and the number of visitors you have. If you typically have more than 5-10 visitors at once, or want to make large files available to broadband users, then hosting on your own computer isn't an option. It's just too slow.

[finalight]

then I'd rather not host it myself..
btw, do I keep the computer on all the time to keep my site on?

and may I know what the website address will be?

[Gamer1]

your address would be the same as your ip address.

and ramsusx, i already have your 5 warnings covered.

for the ip address problem, i just use cjb.net, and change the forwarding link everytime i change my ip.

my cable internet has the upload limit of 30KBps, which is pretty fast if you think about it.

here is the site done by my friend alias BeBop Cloud, hosted by my best friend alias MajinTrunks (no not the lamer asking for roms here at ngemu, but a different MajinTrunks... gotta hate duplicate screen names) The site is being hosted at a 1700+ win2000, and a 1 gig of ram, dsl (upload limit of 15KBps).

http://quaintquartet.cjb.net

[finalight]

mine has 56 kbps, so it's consider fast too if you think.
gamer, do you mean my website address would be like:190.162.93.64??(no, it's not my ip address)
also, do you have to keep your computer on for the website to be on?

[RamsusX]

Yes, you have to have your computer on for the website to be up. Your address on the Internet is the same as your IP address as well, unless you buy a domain name or get a subdomain set up with a DNS.

http://www.dyndns.org/ offers free subdomains with DNS (as opposed to a redirection service). They also have clients you can install that automatically update their DNS server every time your IP address changes. It's also free if you just get a subdomain. If you own a domain name you can use that as well.

Gamer1:
30KB/s eh? Yeah, that's twice my upload speed.

Anyway, the 5 tips and stuff are just for people who haven't tried this stuff before.

I never much liked the idea of updating something manually whenever my IP address changes. I prefer having an actual name attached to my IP via DNS over redirection anyway, so cjb.net is out for me.

I have a Pentium 233Mhz PC with 64MB SDRAM and a 2GB HD with Debian Linux set up as a webserver (Apache with PHP and MySQL), a mail server, and an ftp server (real users only). So far it seems to be working with dyndns.org, but I only tried setting all of this up tonight. Everything's secured down, and the only ports available (redirected from my router) are the absolute minimum needed (21, 25, 80).

I think I'll install squirrelmail on it so I can easily check the mail on this machine from my other computer.

[finalight]

can microsoft windows do this?

[RamsusX]

Yes. The Apache Webserver has been ported to Windows for quite some time. You can find a Microsoft Installer (.msi) package at the following location:
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

apache_2.0.46-win32-x86-no_src.msi would be the file you want.

Install that and then start up the httpd service. Type in http://127.0.0.1/ to see your server on your computer (127.0.0.1 is a loopback address, it always takes you to the computer you're on). I'd edit httpd.conf so that the webserver documents are located in c:\www and your cgi-bin is c:\cgi for brevity.

If you want Perl, PHP, and MySQL, you'll have to download and install the Windows versions of those and install them yourself. Getting them to work correctly could be somewhat of a pain though. I also heard someone mention a packaged installer that includes Apache, PHP, and MySQL for Windows (Triad something?).

[RF]

I wouldnt use .cjb like above. Your addy becomes www.yourname.cjb.net. Try www.tk (type that in). It gives u free forwarding like www.yourname.tk. Pritty cool. I found web1000 ftp support to be UBER slow.

[finalight]

that's why I change my webhosting from web1000 to coolfreepages

[Gamer1]

>>I never much liked the idea of updating something manually whenever my IP address changes. I prefer having an actual name attached to my IP via DNS over redirection anyway, so cjb.net is out for me.

you don't have to, there are programs that automatically updates it for you

http://www.cjb.net/cgi-bin/dynip.cgi

[finalight]

I check my harddrive and can't find any cgi files..

[Quatro]

so you can host it yourself eh... but you still have to register your website name right?

[Gamer1]

yea, as with all websites. unless you don't mind people going to your website by just remembering your ip address.

[finalight]

if i use computer as host, can my domain be words instead of ip address?

[RamsusX]

Quatro:
Yes. Unless you own a domain name and have a DNS server that says the name goes to your IP address, you can only reference your computer by IP address. This can be made easier by using a referral service like cjb.net that simply redirects (and possibly masks with a frame) to the IP address.

If you do own a domain name, you can set it up with a DNS server so that the name is a substitute for your IP address. You can do the same with subdomains of the domain you own.

dyndns.org offers free subdomains that they assign to your IP address with their DNS server. So when a person types in your subdomain, they go to your computer directly (they are not redirected via a separate page). The advantage of using this is clearer since the name will actually be assigned to your computer, even if it is just a subdomain.

This also means you can set up your computer as a mail server, an ftp server, a whatever server and access it with the subdomain you registered at dyndns.org. So you can send and recieve e-mail from whatever.ath.cx if you install a mail transport agent on your computer. This isn't possible if you use a referral service.

Both cjb.net and dyndns.org offer the ability to install a client program on your computer that automatically updates their servers every time your IP address changes.

[RamsusX]

if i use computer as host, can my domain be words instead of ip address?

This is sort of a rather simplified, inaccurate, and unnecessary expanation of how DNS works... even so, it still manages to be difficult to understand.

Anyway, DNS is how those names you type are able to take you to actual computers. All computers have IP addresses. When you type in a name like www.google.com, you ask a DNS server what the IP address for www.google.com is and it tells you.

The Internet has thousands of DNS servers running on it. At the top are the DNS servers for com, edu, gov, jp, au, etc. the toplevel domains. These servers are handled by ICANN (the people who are in charge of domain names and IP addresses).

When you want to see a site, say bob.localdomain.com... Your request is sent to one of these DNS servers at the top. In this case, the one handling com domains.

Then this DNS server looks to see if there's a DNS server registered as handling localdomain.com. It then sends the request to that DNS server if it exists. If it doesn't exist, the domain name is invalid.

Then the DNS server for localdomain.com looks up the IP address of bob.localdomain.com and tells what it is. This DNS server is owned by the person who owns localdomain.com. Some domain name resellers provide DNS servers for you, since setting them up can be complicated.

So in order for your computer to have a name of some sort, a DNS server has to have your IP address listed for that name. It also has to be accessible from right to left...

That is, if you set up your own DNS server that said you were bob.ngemu.com, it wouldn't work unless the com DNS server for com domains handled by ICANN has your DNS server listed for ngemu.com. They will only do this if you buy a domain name.

What dyndns.org does is let you choose a subdomain (e.g. mysite.dyndns.org), and they add that name to their DNS server, and have it point to your IP address. So then your computer has a name. If you happen to own your own Domain name, they'll also let you use their DNS server to use it.

This isn't exactly necessary though. What matters is that the user has an easy to remember name they can type at any time and get to your site with. Because of this, a service such as cjb.net that is a redirection service (they have a page at the subdomain whatever.cjb.net that tells the browser to go to where the site really is) can work just as well. While your computer won't have a name, users can type in a name that takes them to your computer. This is just as good as DNS if you just have a web server on that computer.

[finalight]

so that means either way, I can't have my own true domain, right?
like http://www.ff-zone.com or .org or .net

[Quatro]

oic... so it is possible, but you should also ahve a decent connection for it right? its not recommended for dial up user even thye have large HD space right?

[finalight]

correct, they are going through your connection first before anything else. SO using 56k is no hope

[Galway no Sora]

so that means either way, I can't have my own true domain, right? like http://www.ff-zone.com or .org or .net
Well, dot com domain now pretty cheap, why don't you buy one of them? It's not even more $10 a year [some domain registar, not all :p].

[finalight]

I've no credit card, neither does my parents(even if they do, they won't let me use it for these 'useless' things)

[Razor Blade]

get what I have. www.razorbladeonline.tk its short and sweet! go to www.tk and register there. Its totally free. And one popup though but well worth it if your into saving $$$. If your nice to someone who owns there own server they just may host you :p Hehe I just got my new account set up yesterday and guess what unlimited bandwisth and all the space I need! WOOHOO! In your face! I mean uh good luck :)

[finalight]

I already have one
http://ff-zone.tk

btw, what web hosting did you use?

[Razor Blade]

Uh I forget the name. Right now its just a adress like numbers ... Its not published yet if thats what your asking. So I hear you use YaBB forums. LOL I registered there. Oops I said too much! :p

[RF]

Heh, same here :) I got a good buddy that is training to be a network security dood or whatever, and he gives me all the free webspace i need to host my sprays :)

[finalight]

go for it then

[finalight]

are you referring to me or what?

[RF]

No..........
..
Im saying that I have a friend that gives me free webspace with no frills, no gimmicks. Like RB..

edit: make use of the edit button.

[finalight]

ohh..ok
btw..I remember someone posted between my two post, I don't post two replies in the same row.

[kmjk]

*raises hand* that was me... i was replying to someone on what i thought was the last page... it wasn't so i deleted it

http://www.internic.net << more domain info

[RF]

ohh..ok
btw..I remember someone posted between my two post, I don't post two replies in the same row.

Oh, ok, sorry :emb: :innocent:

[finalight]

no problem...:)
btw, is registering for a domain free at that website?

[RamsusX]

no problem...:)
btw, is registering for a domain free at that website?

internic.net? No, InterNIC just ensure that Registrars are reliable. If your registrar isn't listed on their page, you should probably consider another one. They also provide a lot of other useful information on their site. Definitely check it out.

They also explains DNS here: http://www.internic.net/faqs/authoritative-dns.html

[Razor Blade]

My website should be out sometime in July ... Hey if ne1's inyterested Ill post a little preview ... :D

[finalight]

mine would not be ready for coverage until stepember because I have to school from tomorrow onwards..

[Galway no Sora]

Until September? Why that long?

[Quatro]

you should take time of to update your site... not that long or no one will go to your site often...

remember, your doing it not for yourself but fot the viewers of the site...

[finalight]

I will try to do my best...but school's keep holding me up

[Gamer-X]

So....
what do we need in order to make our own web host?

[finalight]

if you're talking about using your own computer to host your website, ask someone else..:)
I don't do that and I don't know how

[Gamer-X]

From What I see...
-A Computer
-A Stable Connection
Is that only, or there are more?

[finalight]

you need lotsa languages installed, like php, mySQL and maybe even apache..:)

[Carnage]

hey guys,I have a site on tripod,but its max. is 20 mb storage,so anybody might have an idee where I could create a site and store the downloads so I can just put a link on my tripod site to the one I created with the downloads?I already tried some,but with ones like bravenet,you can only upload files of max. 1 Megabite :frown: .....

[elachys]

ha lol why not just pay for hosting thats what i do
:) .

[sniff_381]

coz paying web hosts is for those people who have their own business on the web.

[elachys]

err. but i pay for webhosting and its one of the best decisions i ever made i get more space a t1 server pretty much (besides about 2 others) to my self.
6 MYSQL databases and support within 1 hour of me sending them an email ;)
all for £3.25 a month (which is nothing) and you telling me thats for companies ;)

[Carnage]

man,I am 15 years old,the cash I get in a month is 12 euro,and I often go to the cinema or somewhere,and I dont have a credit card,understand now?

[Galway no Sora]

man,I am 15 years old,the cash I get in a month is 12 euro,and I often go to the cinema or somewhere,and I dont have a credit card,understand now?
Well, you can get free webhosting, but it will contain ads that you probably won't like it. I ever see some of them even promote 1GB !!! But I'm not sure how much the banner / ads you will get :spit:

Here is some result got from google.com : http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=free+hosting

[elachys]

err i'm 15 get a job you lazy (--insert word i'm not allowed to say--)
its not much besides you buy more than what you need and lend some of it out for a small price :)
i'm not only equalling what i pay for host but also making a small profit ;)

[Regulus]

http://www.illusionfxnet.com > by far the BEST host everywhere. But, you are VERY lucky to get accepted. (yes, you must be accepted) They have unlimited storage, bandwidth, and have MySLQ, Perl, and many others. They are not acceppting any applications rite now, so keep trying

[finalight]

since I'm not lucky, then I won't get accept

btw, what will be your address?

[adi]

i need 100% domain hosting (not subdomain).
anyone knew it..?

[finalight]

for any price?

[adi]

100% no pay.

[finalight]

there's no such thing for this. However, if I'm not wrong, you can host your own computer.

[Sera]

I'm not sure how this topic has gone by try this site...
http://www.absolutely-free-hosting.com/

[Galway no Sora]

Free domain ? .tk as well as Kane's old website is free, just an ads is a must for that :p. Get it here : http://my.dot.tk/cgi-bin/bn300.taloha/entry

I'm not sure how this topic has gone by try this site...

Hmm, yes it looks like free host, but surely their space is ... weird, some of them unlimited meanwhile some only 5MB oO.

freewebs giving me trouble and today it looks like they just went down with my Prince of Persia Fansite:(.

I need help, I was thinking of signning up for Freewebs pay service but now I don't want to risk it. I am willing to pay approximately $80 per year with domain name. Is netfirms any good for this with thier pay service or should I just forget about it:( I want to cry. I just uploaded my second interview at fansite and its gone. :cry: :cry:

Thank You
Zapages

EDIT: I don't but how good is Freewebs.com when you pay for it. They have it really confusing that do I have to pay for their Domain name or is it free with the $79 thing??? I am so confused... :frown:

[finalight]

$80 per year is far too expensive, I can find one that only cost $30SGD per year

[adi]

is there any cheap webhost paying by e-gold...?

what..is...?

[Gamer-X]

i think there's no free domain hosting w/o using their webhosting.

e-gold? what is that?

[WinterHell]

To Novice_gamer is the Elite Gamers your's site?

It opens 1 pop up +add to favorites screens

Using Lycos for php/sql is good for beginners but that side frame will get the better of you eventually.

What you should do is use Lycos as your SQL host and do the PHP elsewhere.

Also, your ISP most likely offers fast banner free webshosting. I have yet to see one ISP that puts a banner on their hosted pages.

You don't have to know html .. just use FrontPage it's pretty easy :)

But if your really want's webhosting like that .. Google Page Creator is very good one.

Technically, all websites need to be coded. It's just your choice of whether or not you use a WYSIWYG editor.

Hello i skimmed quickly true the last few pages. But couldn't find what i was looking for.

I'm looking for a free filehosting service. Not one like Megaupload/Rapidshare which has a limit of allowing people to download. And annoying typ the code things. Basically i'm looking for something like Photobucket. But than to host files like rars on and not only images. Atm i got snapdrive and mediafire.

What i dislike about snapdrive is no info about how often the file has been downloaded. And it's down atm ~~ Good thing about snapdrive is that you can host almost everything. And when you download, you instantly download when clicking the link. No waiting no redirecting to there page.

As for what i dislike about mediafire it takes you to there page before you can download. Other than that. It does support the download counter.

So to sum it up i'm looking for the following
- free hosting of rar files
- download counter(how often the file has been downloaded)
- no annoying redirect to there own site before downloading.
- no annoying typ this code thing.
- And free of course

The file sizes are only around few mb. So i don't need a lot of storage. So if someone know a good one. I would like to hear it.

Thanks in advance :)

[Hard core Rikki]

Brace yourselves for impact, folks :bow::evil:


One more free host spotted, and so far, this is the very best one I have tried, and it rivals even paid hosting in features. It might feature lower numbers than the others, but this one's definitely a top contender currently, and superfriendly at that too ;) (tickets answered under 4 hours usually). Given its obvious advantage over other hosts, no way I could keep that to myself ;)

NO CATCH (it certainly lives up to this name ;) )
www.NoCatch.net (http://www.nocatch.net/)


The following features come standard with all free No Catch accounts:

* 500 mb diskspace
* 5,000 mb monthly bandwidth
* Free subdomain (yourname.nocatch.net)
* Ability to use your own domain if already purchased
* Custom control panel for easy site management
* Easy application installer - Install 20 popular programs (blogs, forums, shopping carts...) easily
* Awstats web tracking software (statistic updates every 90 minutes or so)
* FTP Access
* PHP 5
* 3 MySQL databases / 5 MySQL users
* phpMyAdmin
* 24/7 priority ticket support
* 24/7 hardware and software monitoring

* NO forced ads anywhere (not even a single link in the footer!). No forum posting required. No signing up for other offers (either free or paid) required either. This is as free as gratis gets.

* BEST OF ALL: You can request PHP Safemode to be disabled for your account entirely (for FREE, and it's accepted for nearly everyone who just asks via a simple, free ticket submitting!!! Change usually done under 12 hours or so). Getting Safemode OFF is a major reason why people get attracted to paid hosting.

Their website is apparently safely hosted in renowned datacenters with 100mbit uplinks, with servers backed up daily.



Comment: How can they afford all that? Some answers can be answered in their FAQ page (http://www.nocatch.net/faq.jsp). Of course, they also have paid hosting packages, and upgrades available (differences between them listed HERE (http://www.nocatch.net/hgupgrade.jsp))


From their FAQ
How are you able to offer all of this hosting for free?
We are able to support No Catch and all of its hosted customers through advertisements on our main website, donations from satisfied users, and from our partnership with HostGator. This is not enough money to brag about, but it is plenty to keep your websites up and running, and that's all that matters.

Why don't you offer as much space as other free hosts?
At No Catch, our focus is on quality, not quantity. Instead of providing resources that we can barely afford to offer, we choose to offer the perfect amount of resources in order to maintain total quality. Don't be fooled by free hosts offering large amounts of diskspace and bandwidth, because they cannot meet the quality of our service at No Catch. The truth of the matter is that most people seeking free hosts never even need more resources than what we offer, so why unnecessarily over-exert ourselves?


I hope you too like No Catch as much I did, and you find it nice for your first sites ;) . With confirmed friendly support added on top of it, what could one ask for more, from a free host, after all ? ;) I tried, too :p

[Xtreme2damax]

Well I signed with quotaless only to find some filetypes are restricted which means bye bye Mybb mods, some themes and a host of other mods/themes. I put in a support ticket and haven't heard anything yet, the support ticket hasn't even been viewed.

I'm looking for a free Webhost which doesn't have restrictions on filetypes. They need to have PHP/MySQL so I can use Forum Software/CMS on my website. They need to offer a choice of subdomains and the ability to add your own.

Preferably I'm looking for a host that offers between 500 MB - 1 Gig or more of space and 5 - 10 or more gigs of bandwidth a month. Ad free preferred, Don't mind Ads as long as they are unobtrusive and not in your face.

Also I looked through the offers posted in this thread, I don't think some are available anymore and others don't suit my needs. I don't have a job atm so I can't afford paid hosting for the time being but will be looking for paid hosting as soon as I get accepted for a job and have the necessary funds to get or keep a paid account.

I want to open an emulation website which offers emulation news, updates, legal non-copyrighted downloads, software/game news, tech support for emulation and PC/Electronics/Hardware, software where everyone can gather to help others who need help and discuss world events as well.

Also the host has to be pretty lenient on what they allow, freephphosting and quotaless impose a draconian TOS. Not to mention I can't use certain useful mods for Mybb on quotaless or freephphosting because of a
filetype restriction they impose.

Also I can't get the confirmation email to arrive in my inbox for freephphosting as it never arrives to my inbox nor my spam folder.

Thanks if anyone can help.;)

[FLaRe85]

That's usually the norm with free webhosting. It's unreasonable to expect much more.

[Xtreme2damax]

That's usually the norm with free webhosting. It's unreasonable to expect much more.

Well freephphosting and quotaless offer pretty good free packages except some filetypes are restricted which are critical to Mybb Mods and Themes.

I also have been unable to receive a confirmation email from freephphosting.

Like I said a host that is lenient on what kind of content is allowed would be preferred. Can have a bin (Hidden Forum) or topless/partially nude pictures of chicks as it goes against most free hosts No Adult Content rule, so no Boobs/Ass/Babes thread.

The reason I'm looking for a Free package whith at least 500 MB - 1 Gig of space is incase my forum grows quickly I have some time to get a new (Paid Host) lined up to move

[Hard core Rikki]

there's always zendurl and x10hosting for everyone's random FULLY 100% LEGAL sites, but their terms are sooo hostile even linking to ngemu or to a site that links to ngemu is not allowed, IIRC (even in sigs, I think).
Also, they pretty much throw your contact info to your local enforcement agencies at the drop of a hat.

Given such superhostile terms, no way these could have been recommended by anyone sane...

[krissgjeng]

two good file hosting sites:

4shared.com - free file sharing and storage (http://www.4shared.com/)
a good site with a windows like filebrowser, 100MB file limit and up to 5 GB storage with a multi uploader.

Box.net - Free Online File Storage, Internet File Sharing, Online Storage, Access Documents & Files Anywhere, Backup Data, Send Files (http://box.net/)
is another great site but max file size is 10 MB and max storage is 1 GB
they have many great features like you can play music directly, and preview the images, and edit the word documents on the web.

[Brightside]

Is there a free hoster where icould put up my music and listen to it from there and not have t odownload it? cause i cant realy download at work...

gmail allows you to attach an mp3 to an email and listen to it without having to download it

[Xtreme2damax]

I'm still looking for hosting. Due to some things that came up I can only afford free hosting at this time.

I'm looking for as mentioned above, a host that provides C-Panel and anywheres between 500MB - 1 or 5 gigs of space for my forums. I don't mind ads as long as they are unobtrusive.

I've already been to FreeWebHostingTalk and back, most of the offers there are from newish or never heard of hosts, offers appear to be too good to be true and likely overselling.

I don't want to trust putting my forums on something that'll wind up shut down quickly since I trusted addyour.net and the admins went awol without server fees being accounted for leading to the demise of that hosting provider.

Thanks if anyone can list some free hosts you use, are more well known support C-Panel, PHP, MySQL with decent storage space.

I also decided not to use Flares service (Sorry Flare, nothing against you) so I need some suggetions for free hosting.:)

[Xtreme2damax]

Can anyone recommend anything? I found a few good hosts with decent space but their damn activation email is not reaching my inbox.:mad:

I found this other host called AwesomeWebSpace.com, but their website is extremely slow and my FTP client keeps disconnecting from their servers or timing out.

I'm looking for a host that offers 1 - 3 gigs (I know there are some out there) with no forced ads or ads which are fairly unobtrusive.

They must allow discussion on emulation, however nothing illegal will be on the website and it will conform to Ngemu's and General Emulations code of conduct. So they must be lenient enough to allow discussions pertaining to emulation, links to other emulation websites like Ngemu, Emutalk, DCemu and General Emulation.

My website is going to be a hardware, emulation and software support forum with emulation news with discussions on emulation.

I'm going to try to offer different things so I'm not labeled a copycat of Ngemu or General Emulation.

Thank You if anyone can give me any recommendations.:)

[FLaRe85]

I really don't know what else to say other than you are unfortunately NOT going to find a reliable free host that offers that much storage space, supports PHP/MySQL let alone CPanel, AND does it all without ads or without horribly gaudy and prevalent ads. You're just going to keep running into this same situation over and over.

I may not be able to convince you, but you should talk to Kellan, Thorgal, n_w95482, hushy, Razor Blade, Rand Linden, cd, Lord Kane, mikeshoup, Reich, zenogais, Dgurion, Yeloazn, fluffy, Maximun, moomoomoo, etc... They're either currently using or have used the hosting or another service offered by me at some point in the past. They'll vouch for how solid the service is and how dedicated I am to perfecting what I offer or at least trying to come as close as possible to that goal.

It's all being upgraded, re-branded, and re-done anyway. So there's a lot to look forward to. I've been doing this since 2003 and our current hosted domain count is around 153 currently (with more on the way). I don't plan on disappearing any time soon. We have multiple servers, a quad core dedicated to DB/email operations, and lots and lots of great commercial software installed on those servers. We're not your typical bargain basement host running only free software. I shoot for quality above all else and I at least hope it shows.

I don't mean for this to sound too much like an advertisement, but I just want to get the point across that, if you're even the least bit serious about your website, I would look into a serious web host.

I may not be able to convince you, but you should talk to Kellan, Thorgal, n_w95482, hushy, Razor Blade, Rand Linden, cd, Lord Kane, mikeshoup, Reich, zenogais, Dgurion, Yeloazn, fluffy, Maximun, moomoomoo, etc... They're either currently using or have used the hosting or another service offered by me at some point in the past. They'll vouch for how solid the service is and how dedicated I am to perfecting what I offer or at least trying to come as close as possible to that goal.

It's all being upgraded, re-branded, and re-done anyway. So there's a lot to look forward to. I've been doing this since 2003 and our current hosted domain count is around 153 currently (with more on the way). I don't plan on disappearing any time soon. We have multiple servers, a quad core dedicated to DB/email operations, and lots and lots of great commercial software installed on those servers. We're not your typical bargain basement host running only free software. I shoot for quality above all else and I at least hope it shows.

I don't mean for this to sound too much like an advertisement, but I just want to get the point across that, if you're even the least bit serious about your website, I would look into a serious web host.

Nevermind,

I found a few hosts as mentioned above which are ad free and gives 8 gigs of space with 3 gig bandwidth per month.

I managed to work out the bugs with AwesomeWebspace.com and am now working on setting my forums up. It appears my problem was a permissions problem.

The others hosts I didn't have a problem with other than the activation email wouldn't reach my inbox.

AwesomeWebspace and the other hosts I reviewed offer ad free on the free account because they get revenue for people who pay for upgrades and premium paid hosting.

I'm updating my sig with link to my forum.

Also AwesomeWebspace is pretty damn fast. My forum loads in a matter of seconds and I'm on satellite internet which is running fairly slow now.:D

That doesn't make sense. That's not even a business model. If they offer everything you say they do, why would people care to pay for upgrades? Also, why would the paid people continue to pay when they see all this stuff being given away for free?

The domain was registered in late May of this year, the server is only hosting 15 domains, and the server's located in the Netherlands. It's a recipe for failure if you ask me. They won't last long.

Edit: Actually...weird, the IP tracing must be off. The traceroute leads into the same datacenter I host my servers at.

Well a lot of people will upgrade for more space such if they were running a large scale website with legal downloads such as businesses.

There are cases where more than 8 gigs would be needed for a legit website. At least it's not as bad as free or some paid hosts who say they offer unlimited services and unlimited bandwidth (Which they most likely don't since theres no such thing as unlimited bandwidth and speed).

Also if the host happens to meet unfortunate doom, I'm going to have a backup performed each week in case I need to find a different host and switch.;)

Agreed. If people need anything more/better/higher, they'd usually just switch services, or ultimately go fully commercial. A lot of them usually switch to forced ads after getting noticed and registrations for something such as "no ads" or obscenely high numbers they can't even guarantee to even paid customers. Call it hypocrisy. Small hosters can be AWOL quite often too, so bummer for "quality 24/7 support"...

Well can anyone suggest anything better?

250 MB is not enough space considering the forum/CMS software can take anywheres between 2 or 3 - 5 or 15 MB. Then you have to account for the database itself as well as attachments. GE's database I believe with attachments eats up a little over a gig by checking the ACP.

1 - 3 gigs is what I need, even if they had a small or medium sized ad banner at the top, that would suffice.

A lot of these hosts use this stupid control panel software which makes me unable to upload certain mods or files since it spits a filetype is not allowed error back. Also they disable PHP Sendmail so if I am running a forum, users won't be able to activate their registration because the conformation email would never arrive.

Honestly if I had the money right now I'd pay for hosting, but since I don't I'm stuck with a pretty limited amount of.

Also if I could host it on my computer I would do that as well, but unfortunately I am unable to on satellite internet not just because of bandwidth restrictions but because of the fact my PC isn't accessible externally through the internet from a remote location because of the absence of a static ip and the fact everything through satellite is very heavily Nat's or routed and I'm on a shared ip with other subscribers.;)

The 250 MB plans were never originally designed to suport a forum. They were tailored to fit a blog or a small personal site while remaining as affordable as possible. It's supposed to be as bare bones as you can get while still qualifying as "useful" webspace.

With some of the changes we're implementing, you'll be able to get a plan with 1 GB of space starting at $6/mo. 750 GB drives are much more available to us than they were four years ago when we had originally set our servers up. This time around, we took large, redundant storage into account. All the servers are using 750 GB drives in their RAID arrays, now.

Well I am keeping you in mind for when I get some money to do so, but plan on hosting a forum on my PC once I get an apartment in the city where I can one again get real broadband either Time Warner Roadrunner or Fios.

I have a few questions though, is your host (You) making enough income to keep everything going for a while?

Like if I were to decide to pay for hosting through you I wouldn't have to worry about moving my website/forum to soon if something happens?

What's the uptime for you host?

Do you have ad's or are you an ad free host?

Also do you allow emulation discussion or website like Ngemu or General Emulation as long as anything illegal isn't hosted like roms, iso's or Bios's?

Do you accept pre-paid mastercard's? They're good for online purchases, I just don't know if they are accepted by hosting providers.

Well those are my questions, as I said I'll definitely keep you in mind once I've exhausted all my options to find a fairly decent free host and I have the income to do so.;)

Not to discourage you, but I tried this around the time I was writing my plugin manager utility. In fact, that's sort of how the whole thing started. Once word got around and it was hosted on NGEmu, which linked to my site, my connection became pretty worthless. My upload was ALWAYS exhausted. It was good practice, though. In the datacenter we host in, we have full 100 Mbit connections to the net and can upgrade to 1000 Mbit if we choose.

Flaretech.Biz was officially established in 2003, acquired by another company in 2006, and now I'm taking back all the assets and customers and the service will be re-branded and incorporated into the new company a partner and I incorporated last month. In short, I've been around for at least four years already. I don't plan to go anywhere soon.

Like if I were to decide to pay for hosting through you I wouldn't have to worry about moving my website/forum to soon if something happens?
I wouldn't anticipate that.

What's the uptime for you host?

I don't charge people to put ads on their site. :p

Also do you allow emulation discussion or website like Ngemu or General Emulation as long as anything illegal isn't hosted like roms, iso's or Bios's?
Everything but illegal content (common sense). So, yes...adult content is even allowed.

Do you accept pre-paid mastercard's? They're good for online purchases, I just don't know if they are accepted by hosting providers.
As long as it has a Visa, MasterCard, or American Express logo on it, we can run it.

Any other questions, just ask.

[Xtreme2damax]

Ok Flare as I said I'll keep you in mind for future hosting. I'm going to go with godaddy as mentioned by HCR in a PM about a month ago.

I have a couple questions:

1. How do I get a promo code for godaddy.com?

2. I chose the the next plan up from the Basic which offers 100 GB of space, 1,000 GB of bandwidth, MySQL, PHP, email etc...

That costs $6.99 per month and I chose 1 month. Will that mean my website or account will go kaput after the 1 month is up or will my website account still be up and they charge the $6.99 to my card every month as long as I have it?

I'm also going to add a domain for $2 a month, so I need an idea on a name for my emulation and tech support website. Suggestions are welcome.

Total is $9 per month not counting tax if there is any.

A promotional code will help me save some money on it, so I won't sign up unless someone can give me a promotion code or let me know where I can get one.;)

Ok I went through on the order, it says I can get a domain for $1.99 with any non-domain purchase. What do I have to do to get my $1.99 domain with my hosting account?

[Zapages]

Shame on you zapages haha. I went there thinking i could get some free hosting and in about 10 secs i seen porn banners and the site put some crap on my computer :cuss2:


No clue what happened, I think something might have hijacked my account or something. :(

Sorry for the trouble.
