Title: web sites question
Post by: RTR on May 13, 2005, 06:13:58 PM

Not sure what forum to ask this one in, so here goes.

Say a cheap, tightfisted fella, who's wallet hasn't seen daylight since the Christmas he got it as a present, wanted to build a small website.

Is there a good, "FREE"  option?

cheers,
RTR

Like they said, you can’t beat the free space that comes with your ISP.  

If you want a ton of space for cheap, I recommend http://www.globat.com .

I got a massive amount for about $75 a year.  It may have even come down more recently and its ad free.  Beware; many cheap providers will place ads on your web pages, read the fine print.

If you are looking for a simple html editor, look no further than MS Word (if you already have it).  It’s a “what you see is what you get” editor; your existing word processing knowledge will take you far.  Html knowledge requirements are minimal.  Pros claim that it makes a very cluttered code (and it does) but it really doesn’t matter because almost all web browsers can view it flawlessly.

No ads... plenty of space, plenty of transfer... and cheap.
