Need good free web hosting

[Asamin]

Can someone tell me where i could find a good free web hosting site?

[Lenny]

I would do... but my host has gone and put banner ads at the bottom of pages. At the moment I'm searching around for a free host with no ads.

[Atnas]

I got mine from an acquaintance across the pond, farther up the bank than Lenny, though...

Generally no one will ever give decent web hosting to anyone without something in return. Thats how I got stuck spriting all original graphics for the aforementioned acquaintance's game. :p

[Lenny]

Saying that, there do seem to be quite a few good, free hosts, who stay free and ad-free because of their forums, but you've got to have ten posts a month.

[Atnas]

Zelaron Should offer 1GB hosting to anyone with over 1000 posts. Either that or 100% activity, seeing as to how people wouldn't, no, can't spam to cheat that system.

[Lenny]

You can spam to cheat both systems - 4 spams a day for 28 days gets you 100%, or 10 spams a day for 100 days for 1000 posts.

If you were going to go by posts, then something like 5000 should be the minimum, I'd say. 1000 is far too easy to get too.

In fact... there's a question - what happened to the ads that used to be at the bottom of the main page? The little text links...

[Sovereign]

I vote 10,000 + only :P

[Lenny]

In that case, I really will be there by the end of the year. :rolleyes:

[MightyJoe]

Grats on posting a lot.

[Asamin]

I say 1500 because otherwise it would just get too hard to meet the requierments

[Atnas]

Lenny posts on a rounded average of 8 posts a day. ;) It won't take him very long to reach 10,000. Nor would anyone posting at his rate have a hard time to 1500.

[Lenny]

Yeah, well, I have nothing better to do, you see. :p

[Grav]

He is also a crazy guy.

The server is actually close to out of HD space at most times, and our bandwidth sucks, so any hosting offer would be on the contingency that you get kicked off if you actually generate any traffic :p
Now, processing power, on the other hand, we have in abundance...

[Asamin]

And there is no way to get around these restrictions and move the web site to somewhere with more HD space and better bandwidth?

[WetWired]

To fix the HD space, I'd have to upgrade my server, which would be a pain. As for the bandwidth, there's no need, and I'd rather not switch hosts.

I still have an old free Brinkster account, I don't know if they still offer them but it was decent enough for a small info website. Wasn't really good for offering downloads though, for obvious reasons.

Just keep looking I guess...or pay up lol.

[Asamin]

I can't pay because i'm a 14 year old kid! I don't have a cridit card!

[Atnas]

So your parents don't have a credit card or bank account either?

I just give the cash to my sister, and then she pays with her paypal account. :p

[Grav]

Do what I do: MOOCH!

[Asamin]

My mom isn't like that...
I can't mooch or get her to pay.

[Atnas]

Didn't you say you had somthing resembling $800 on our way from lunch? :)

[Asamin]

Ya but thats for my new comp I'm getting so I don't have to use this piece of junk that my faminly uses.
