Looking for a FREE web host
« on: March 25, 2003, 07:29:28 PM »
I decided that web hosting wasn't worth paying for while I'm in college, so I'm looking around for a good free host.  Here's what I need:

  • At LEAST 40MB of space
  • FTP Access or some reasonable form of uploading (ie: NOT 1 file at a time)


So far I've tried 50megs.com.  They've don't allow for FTP Access on the free accounts, and the alternative is their "file manager" which makes you upload files one at a time.  My web site has 509 files, so that's more than I care to deal with.

Anyone had a good or decent experience with one that'd fit the bill?  Thanks!

Damn, I didn't think I'd go for anything but free, but $24/year will get me what I need.  Wow!  Have you used them?

I think he's meeting Funked at that bar where you can't smoke, can't drink outside, and must buy drinks that come in coconut cups.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think they only give you 30MB, but it might hold you over untill you find another free one. Not sure about file transfer.

SOB did you check with your school?  Most colleges give you some webspace.
