Your own ISP - whoever you dial up with - should be offering free web hosting... granted it'll be a URL like "http://userpages.ispname.ie/~username/" - but it's free.

Hi Pablo,

No offence intended, just offering all the options, sometimes people don;t want banners and junk, or limited access,

Hi Guys,

Point taken, just trying to be helpful, if people ask about hosting/domains, it's hard to resist the post, in most cases I do not provide our urls at all! If board policy/consensus says no advertising, (just take a scan at any of the threads for profligate use by lots of people), I'm more than happy to comply,

Stephen

PS: and in the interests of staying on-thread, we will offer free hosting to the original poster!

Fair play Stephen, but ease off the capitalism. Commercial advertising is not allowed on this and any other forum.

Pld. Enough with the spamming about your company Stephen, if I check back over your posts 99% of them are about your hosting service.

Have hosted with Geocities before (alright, not good), Angelfire (awful), and a few others. Few more
Hypermarkt.net (though I could be wrong on that URL), FortuneCity.com (they offer a lot of space), getwebeasy.net (haven't tried them myself).

stevo ,

you could just make a web page and setup a site selling your warez. then when people ask for details say post the link. i'd suggest buying a domain like something to do with your name , say http://www.hosting-36.ie/ or what not. and then tell them about your site .

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

actually from what i've heard , stevo is dead on
100% uptime
has offered more than 3 people here good hosting deals
and is always there to help

stevo i love you.

also he is doing a good job providing afforadabel hosting located in ireland , this wasn't available until recently , unless you wanted to be in a basement in crown alley in temple bar , like who would put racks in a basement which was prone to get flooded.

If you're offering free hosting, fair enough, but advertising is another thing

PaddyC, I used another free host that was really good a while back, I'll see if I can dig up their URL for you.

Whats The Charity?
If its fair game I'll pay for the domain Name for 1 year and the hosting. I'm sure the other lads who replied will cover the following years, wont ya lads. Or maybe there too busy bagging someone who offered you free hosting on the tenth post.

There's me Number

I use a FREE account with brinkster.com . They allow you to use Active server pages and some basic asp components. There baised in the US but have a VERY fast connection. If i'm downloading database files i get about 30Kbps and i'm on a 56K

Ive tried many differant hosts but they seem to be the best i've come across. They give you 30MB space.
