Looking For Free ----- Web Site Hosting

**mlauzon** · January 21st, 2008, 11:28

I am looking for free ----- web hosting, as I am doing a site for an ------. It's fine if it has the following for her site:

------Name.someDomain.domainSuffix

Also, need CGI, PHP, MySQL, good amount of web space & bandwidth as she may want a video or two -- besides gallery images -- to be put up, etc.

Does your ------ provide her services for free? No?

I doubt any host would want to provide a subdomain for that service unless it's their normal clientell

I have the web site almost done, as it was supposed to be for another ------ who was going to pay me for it, unfortunately she's up and disappeard -- probably got pinched -- so I offered it out, am essentially going to give it away semi-free, may put affiliate ads on it to generate revenue for me.

And you've just commited the cardinal sin when asking for free hosting too

Stating you want free hosting to make money for yourself.

I would suggest just facing up to it and going for paid, buy a cheapo domain name, etc. Or try one of those hosts that cover your site with ads and pop ups till they find out what you do and kill the account.

Yes they should, especially before posting their own downfall, sheesh!

Looks like you got an offer - grab it before they read the post.

Decker I don't particularly like ----- sites either, but why are you harassing this member over them? unless you have evidence of illegal activity (which you don't), all you're doing is trolling.

PS: due to the nature of the site, I doubt many, if any, US hosts will offer their services - and that makes up the majority of the free hosts here.

**Decker** · January 22nd, 2008, 07:06

Advice to look elsewhere and for hosts to be wary of offering for this type of service due to legalities involved no matter how the 'site' is worded.

As said a 'paid ------' and free hosting do not go together, paid hosting which explicitly allows this is the only real alternative.

Throwing in your 2 cents by being accusational and repeating a previous comment (in differient words) is not being constructive, even if the constructive posts aren't wrapped in cotton wool

**Meksilon** · January 22nd, 2008, 07:26

Decker - what legalities? p.o.r.n. is illegal in as many places as e.s.c.o.r.t. services are, quit trolling.

**Decker** · January 22nd, 2008, 07:34

Right to reply = trolling? No.

Reading = understanding? No.

End of....
