Web Hosting
I am totally out of space on my current sites and I am about to start up a new 14'ers site. Anyone know of any good resources for free storage space. I currently use talk city and just started an account with homestead.

RE: Web Hosting
I use 50megs.com. That's right, 50 megs of free server space. I actually have 4 different sites allowing for 200 megs of crap if I ever need it. It does come with banners and the occassion pop-up though.

RE: Web Hosting
I just started using www.freewebz.com which gives 100 megs and doesn't have banners, just a "This site is hosted for free by FreeWebz.com. Click here to get your own free website." on the bottom of the page.

RE: Web Hosting
Do any of those have a problem with you linking to message boards? I was setting up on geocities so I could post photos here and I got a message saying my page was unavailable because I linked to a message board and was using it primarily for photos. BASTARDS!

No charge web host's are very restrictive in their programming,

RE: Web Hosting
I thought Geocites had pulled the plug. I had a website there and they told me to remove everything, because they were defunct.

RE: Web Hosting
I received a nice email with plenty of notification when Geocities was bought out. They didn't just pull the plug like I was a criminal or something.

RE: Web Hosting
What's weird is if I paste the address, it works, but not in the window that I tried the direct link through.

RE: Web Hosting
It is not weird. It is called good business practices. Stealing bandwidth is a crime!!!

Well maybe not, but it probably will be in the near future
