Angry Sort of OT: %*#@!!!!! Need a new free web host. Help!


Well, I knew this day was coming. The email just came in from the inept, poo-for-brains staff at NBCi.com. My web site, which many of you frequent, looks like it is going to lose its hosting soon. As reported by ****edcompany.com, the assets of nbci.com were purchased back by NBC earlier this year, yet another victim in a long list of dotcom failures!!!

I need the following:
-FREE hosting
-unlimited storage (or at least a few hundred mb)
-company that will continue to exist for the forseeable future!!!!
-reliable server

I DON'T need:
-BS idiot user aids. I know how to FTP and write HTML.
-a personalized domain name

Anyone out there know a server (they're all dying out, aren't they!!!) or willing to host me?? I don't get tons of traffic!!! ie 1500-2000 hits in an entire year. That's only around 4 or 5 hits a day.

Best of luck finding a host that will meet all of your requirements. The New Motto of the New Economy is "Revenue, Revenue, Revenue".


webpipe.net is reliable and inexpensive, but not free.

I think the odds you'll find a free host that'll give you a few hundred megs are pretty slim these days.

If you have DSL or cable modem service, your ISP for that also most likely offers web hosting, and you could probably pay a piddly sum to procure more storage.

Depending on your particular lashup, you could also host it yourself, which is what I do.
