Wow, not bad, although if you want it to support scripts you might as well go buy a normal host.

DotEasy isn't free. You have to pay a domain transfer fee.

http://www.coolfreepages.com has free domain hosting.

Doesn't http://www.freewebsites.com host domains for free, or do you have to pay a transfer fee?

He said he wanted a free host, not free domains/transfers. But even if you want a domain name, they'll register for a small fee. Transfer costs $35 one time fee. The extras, like scripts do cost a little. Well, I think they're pretty good if you don't want anything fancy (what do you expect for $0?). ;)

lol, I do pay for a host, but i am not going to pay for the next month because I am moving onto my own personal server. So I just wanted to know of anything free so I could just host a couple pages letting people know what is going on during the move.

Ahh I don't know, I'll probably just end up paying the extra month, I am so cheap

If you only want it for one month, you can use http://www.discount-hosting.com for free for a month. So long as you move away once the trial month is over it shouldn't be a problem.

Exactly... other hosts do transfers for free. DotEasy isn't free, because they make their money by overcharging for the domain. $25 for a domain when you can get it for $7 elsewhere is just like paying $18/year for hosting... and you can get much better hosting for $18/year.
