Does anyone know a free hosting place for my anti commie website?
Mandingo Republican

Posted on 02/15/2003 1:41:13 PM PST by mandingo republican

I am finished designing the website to expose the National Council of Churches. I need to find a free hosting service. Yahoo Geocities is not free for folks who use Frontpage 2002 as I do.

Please help with any ideas!

Thanks

The best thing to do, if you have broad-band, is set up Apache on your computer and just host it yourself.

All it will cost you then is the domain name registration (and you have to pay that anyway).

Even if you are using Windows, you can download the Win32 binaries at http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

Your website is NOT going to get thousands of hits per day (much as that might disappoint you), and the few hits you DO get are going to be inconsequential in terms of the drain on your computer resources.

Like I said: this is the ABSOLUTELY FREE solution.

The best thing to do, if you have broad-band, is set up Apache on your computer and just host it yourself.

Some broadband providers (ATTBI for instance) strictly forbid such activities and will cancel your account if they find you running a web server. ATTBI scans port 80 and others looking for them. There are ways around that, but it is still risky.

It is worth reading your ISP's Terms of Service Agreement (TOS) to find out.

Also with that come some technical problems. Not all broadband providers use static IP addressing. Mine uses some variant of DHCP. If I were to try to establish a web server, my IP address would (and does) change from time to time- making it virtually impossible to marry a domain name to. (Well I guess I could, but I'd be filling out a lot of DNS change orders to try to keep my site findeable.)

You also need to have some web admin saavy. Hackers leave most websites alone, but that isn't any guarantee that they will. Your site has to be secured against intrusion and against being used (for example) as a mail relay or a storage site foe Warez (illegally copied licensed software).

Your ISP may already provide you with some space for a web page. Some ISPs also support Front Page extensions. I'd look at that first- you don't have to do any real technical administration, it isn't jeopardising your account, security for the FTP space is your ISP's problem, and you are probably already paying for the space.

Brinkster.com is free with no popups. And for the number of hits you are going to get it is the best solution. No domain name though, it adds your name to the end of theirs (e.g. www3.brinkster.com/commiesite). The site is dependable and gives plenty of free webspace.

(slaps forehead) Two of the forums that I administer are on Brinkster- of course! I have been quite pleased with it overall. Only minor criticisms are that it is a bit slow at times, and with the Free Solution you cannot use your own FTP client- you have to use their Java based uploader and upload your site five files at a time. I don't think that you'd be able to use Front Page's internal upload utilities with it, but it would be sweet if you could get it to work!

What ever you do, you better hurry to get the site up before the NCC goes away and you have to re-do it for "Christian Churches Together in the U.S.A.".

While it is ostensibly broadly ecumenical, Christian Churches Together also is an attempt by the National Council of Churches to shore up its sagging revenues and, perhaps, rescue it from pending bankruptcy. Since auditors revealed in 1999 that the NCC had plunged deeply into deficit spending, the organization has been whittled down to one-fourth of its size and has lost one of its principal funding sources, Church World Service.

You get what you pay for. A site that gives you a domain name and has frontpage ext, allows ftp transfers to upload files, mail accounts, cgi scripts, and is cheap is FreeHostingWeb - $49.95 a year.

Quite correct. I am happy with the service overall and it does pretty well for what I use it for.

That might be, but it is not my experience. Typically they don't really care.

I've used SBC (ADSL--and I got the 'Enhanced' package with multiple static IPs), StarBand (satellite provider) and Time-Warner/Earthlink (Cable).
