    Hi,
    I have registered a .com domain for myself and don;t want to pay hosting charges as they seem to be a tenner a month minimum.

    I only want to have it live for a year or less


    Any good sites that host with little or no banners?

    I guess I just ring my .com registering company and give them my hosting details?

    Cheers

    Yeah, just give the registrar the hostnames of the DNS servers of the host where your site will be hosted.

    [Edit:
    Didn't read the full post as usual....

    What blacknight says below is key. You can redirect usually to free webspace, but you get what you pay for]

    it is also possible to redirect the domain to an eircom.net or similar free (but crappy URL) account.

    have you nothing better to do??

    An apology would be nice!!!

    i found www.frihost.com to be really good,
    you get PHP, perl, mySQL, FTP, unlimited subdomains and email accounts
    but you hav to keep an active account on their forums, which means making a few posts per week/month which is a smile price to pay really
