WEBSPACE
|
|
| TopCities.com
gives you a generous 150 megs of space, your own
sub-domain, FTP, guest book, message board, form
mail, and counter. What we really like is the
space they give you. None of the other web hosts
out there seem to be offering this much space.
Another good thing is their online EZ-Upload
utility. Using this applet, you can select an
entire directory, click upload, and watch the
progress indicator as all of your files are
uploaded instantly. Also, as part of our
assessment, we tested the network performance,
and have found this site to be one of the
fastest in terms of page loading. |

|
|
| A
nice offering of 2 MB of space for anyone who
understands Danish. They also provide a complete
listing of their member sites so you can take a
look to see what the Danish culture is all
about. |
|
|
|
|
|
| They
give you 2 megs of space. In the past when I've
used this service, it was rather slow and not
very intuitive. They are also rather restrictive
in terms of content as they do not allow you to
place your own banner ads. They also won't allow
adult material or other offensive writing at
their discretion. |
|
|
|
|
|
| This
company provides you with 12 megs of space and
some additional features such as guest book and
message board. There's also a 24 hour support
forum where you can ask questions about your
site. |
|
|
 |
|
|
| They
provide you with 6 megs of space, online file
manager, your own guest book, and your own
message board. The service is quite fast and
recommended. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Web
Spawner provides you with templates to edit your
own page. However, you are only allowed one page
and must go through their online template
manager. In the body of your page, you are
allowed only 25k of space to write your content. |
|
|
|
|
|
| You
are given 5 megs of space. Not much more is
known about this site right now as it is
upgrading its backend servers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| This
site reminds me of the old Geocities, where you
pick a theme/neighborhood, and then start
creating your site. No FTP is allowed though,
but the site looks promising. |
|
|
|
|
|
| They
give you 20 megs of space in return for a pop-up
ad on all your pages. They also host domain
names and sub-domain names. They claim to have
lots of other features as well, but I've signed
up for an account, and the whole thing was like
a maze for me. Things are a bit un-organized and
it was hard for me to just set up a guest book. |
|
|
|
|
|
| This
company gives your 25 megs of free space and
gives you unlimited bandwidth. However, they do
not allow you to download your files once you
upload them. Their reasoning is: to prevent
warez trading and piracy. This sounds rather
restrictive and could mean lots of trouble if
you lost some local files and would like to
re-download them again. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Offers
10 mb of space to anyone who wants to build a
web site. They offer an online file manager,
guest book, and your own message board.
Performance is above average and is recommended
to everyone, especially girls (hint: web site
name). |
|
|
|
|
|
| A
site geared toward non-profit organizations,
Deaf vision gives free web space for
non-business/non-personal sites. If you do get
accepted, you will receive 5 MB of space and no
ads on your pages! Some things in life are
indeed free. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Free
Town is a place for personal pages. At 5 MB per
account, it is more than sufficient for most
people. You are allowed to place 3rd-party ads
and get your site hosted in the neighborhood
that you choose. Ftp is not supported and there
is a per-file size restriction of 35Kb. |
|
|
|
|
|
| To
get your own personal web space here, you must
first sign up for their Worldnet service, which
costs $21.95 per month. Once you become a
member, you will get your own web space to
upload your files and/or build your site using
their online editor. |
|
|
|
|
|
| If
you've ever wanted to create a fun personal
site, then this can be the one for you. 2 MB is
what they give you, along with ftp access. No
3rd-party ads are allowed on your pages, so if
you plan on making money, you'd better find
another home. |
|
|
|
|
|
| You
are given 25 mb of space and some additional
webmaster tools. Like GeoCities, however, you
are not allowed to place 3rd-party ad banners on
your pages. Your site will be in the form of:
members.dencity.com/membername. |
|
|
|
|
|
| These
folks give you a nice 3 MB, FTP access, online
file manager, and counters to get you started in
your web publishing. They also give you a free
guest book and message board (*update* their
message board is no longer available) |
|
|
|
|
|
| Despite
the strange name for their site, this provider
does give you a whopping 5 MB of space and a
nice online editing tool. There is not FTP
access currently, so you will have to do
everything with their browser interface. |
|
|
|
|
|
| This
WB-themed provider gives you 20 MB of space and
access to many pictures of WB television shows
for use in your web site. It is great for fan
sites, but don't expect to make money through
them, though... They don't allow you to have ad
banners on your pages. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30
MB of space with no per-file size limit sounds
quite attractive. Also provided with your free
account are a personal guest book, message
board, counter, and form mail. They even have an
online support forum where most
questions/problems can be solved in a short
amount of time. Give them a shot. |
|
|
|
|
|
| A
whopping 10 MB of space is what they give you in
return for an ad on top of all your pages and a
link back at the bottom of your pages. They also
give you subdomain support. One common
complaint, however, is that their Flash-enabled
site is a bit distracting at times. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 11
MB of space, Ftp, online file manager, and other
clip art goodies make this a worthy provider.
They've been around for a while, and generate
revenue with ad banners placed automatically
near the top of your pages. Speed used to be a
real problem with them, but recent performance
has been much better. |
|
|
|
|
|
| These
folks provide you with an unheard-of unlimited
amount of space. This sounds too good to be true
for some, but does appear to be real. However,
there is skepticism because nothing in life
every comes for free, but... If anyone has any
input we'd appreciate it. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Netline
gives you 10 MB of space in exchange for a logo
display on all of your pages. Their server speed
is quite fast and support seems to be pretty
good. |
|
|
|
|
|
| A
humorous-sounding theme for teens to vent their
frustrations about school. Now of course your
site can be used for any subject (except the
usual pornography, harassment, etc...) but the
domain name speaks for itself. 10 MB is what
they provide. |
|
|
|
|
|
| They
allow both for-profit and non-profit
organizations/companies to open a 10 MB web site
account in exchange for top-of-the-page banner
ads. Their real business is in paid hosting, so
if you want to test the waters and gradually
migrate to such an account, this host is for
you. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10
MB is what they give you. What's unique about
this provider is the ability for you to create
your own shopping cart. If you have something to
sell online and don't want to spend any money
with top-notch hosting, this host is for you. A
word of caution though: If you are serious about
doing e-commerce online, it's better to go with
a paid host. |
|
|
|
|
|
| A
Chinese-based web provider, this site gives you
10 MB of space along with your very own email
account and online file manager in return for
banner ads on your pages. There are broken links
on their site, so be careful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5
MB is what you get from Bat Cave dot Net. They
also provider subdomain support and IRC access.
This is a really cool feature indeed because not
many other free hosts provide IRC support. |
|
|
|
|
|
| A
user-friendly file manager and a humous domain
name says it all. 10 MB, free support, and a
guest book are what you get with Duno. Server
speed is abover average. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Fiberia
provides you with 11 MB of web space and
promises of cgi access. However, many complaints
from users about the slowness of their servers
and errors with cgi scripts have made us change
our minds about them. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 15
MB of space, the promise of FTP access, and your
own free e-mail address is what you will get
with this provider. They also provide an online
library of images for you to use on your pages.
Note: Your site must become active within 30
days of sign-up or they will delete your
account. |
|
|
|
|
|
| This
site offers 25 MB of space and an online editor.
They also place an ad at the top of all member
pages to help pay for their overhead costs.
There have been a few complaints though, about
cgi errors. |
|
|
|
|
|
| A
nicely-designed site, these folks give you 5 MB
of space and a browser uploading utility for all
your file management. Ads are automatically
placed in your pages. The drawback, however, is
that you are not allowed to place ad banners of
your own. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Conk
has recently increased their free web space from
1 to 5 MB. You are also no longer required to
place their ads on your pages. However, their
sign-up pages are currently offline for some
reason, but we expect them to be up-and-running
shortly. |
|
|
|
|
|
| If
you are a non-profit organization, Arrow Web has
the solution for you. Web space and other
features will be available upon sign-up. |
|
|
|
|
|
| A
funny site with some monkeys as their spokesmen,
this is a place where you can reserver a
"room" of your own, which includes 3
MB of space for your own free home page. Ads are
not allowed. |
|
|
|
|
|
| You
get 2 MB of space at this place, with FTP access
to manager your files online. |
|
|
|
|
|
| With
5 MB of space, you will be able to upload your
site about your favorite music group, interests,
and any other music-related topic. You also get
a counter and guest book with your site. |
|
|
|
|
|
| A
company based in Singapore, this site
provides you with 2 MB web space to
create your own home page. They also
give you FTP access and an online editor
to modify your pages. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Here
is a top-notch free personal home page provider.
They give you 15 megs of space. There's also an
online html editor for beginners and a bunch of
drag-and-drop goodies, such as counters, guest
books, message boards, polls, etc... This is by
far the best host for beginners and intermediate
users who want to get right down to content
rather than hardcore html coding. For advanced
users, there is also direct ftp, so it's for
everyone. |
|
|
|
|
|
| A
multilingual community, Vavo promises you with
unlimited space, guest book, chat, and message
board. They also have tons of clipart, including
photographs, cartoons, and icons for you to use
in your pages. This host is great for beginners
who aren't ready to go knee-deep in html
authoring. For the advanced user, however, it is
a bit less useful as direct uploading of files
via ftp isn't supported. |
|
|
|
|
|
| A
free host whos main strength is in the generous
50 MB of space offered. It's main weaknesses are
the lack of a good online site-building tool and
the long url imposed on you:
egao.com/neighborhood/username |
|
|
|
|
Graffiti
|
| A
good 25 MB of space is what you'll get with
Graffiti.net. All uploading is done via ftp and
you also get to have your own mailing list,
message board, and email. There's only one
drawback, their logon system. We've had much
trouble logging on at times, which made us angry
and frustrated. |
|
|
|
|
|
| This
host offers you the most basic of free space:
ftp. There are no online file managers nor site
building editors. Also, your address contains
the much-dreaded "~" character. This
might be quite acceptable to experienced
webmasters, however. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30
MB of space, browser uploading, free email, and
your own message board are what The Burgh
Network Solutions offers. There is currently no
support for ftp so you'll have to do everything
through the browser. |
|
|
|
|
|
| To
host your site here, you will have to register a
domain name through them for $15/year or
transfer your existing one over for a one-time
fee of $35. Ad banners on your pages are taken
out in exchange for email newsletters sent to
you regularly. You get 20 MB of space. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 25
MB of space and ftp access are the main selling
point of this host. They are a top-notch
provider and have an easy online site builder
that allows beginners and experienced users the
ability to edit their files without having to
work on them offline and go through the
complicated procedure of uploading and
refreshing. |
|
|
|
|
|
| As
the name suggests (indirectly), this is the
place to put your family photos online in
personal galleries. 5 MB of space is given and
all uploading is done via the browser. If your
site will be something other than a family
album, then this will not be suitable for you. |
|
|
|
|
|
| They
give you 3 mb of disk space, a help message
board, and free tips. They currently don't
insert ads intomember pages so it'd be great if
you're looking for a ad-free host. |
