I need somewhere free to host my website (Not anything professional just a little one about me) Can anyone reccomend anywhere?
I wouldn't recommend that for three reasons:x704 said:Your own computer![]()

Personally, I use NearlyFreeSpeech to host my private domain. It's a pay-as-you-go service, except for the $7/year fee for having your own domain. If you choose to host exclusively off their NSF domain, I don't think you even need to pay that.

AmbitiousLemon said:But I would second the recommendation for NearlyFreeSpeech. They have a unique way of charging where you pay a retainer then get charged only for what you use (rather than purchasing a plan that is much larger than what you expect to use). A small site such as yours would likely cost less than a penny a day, perhaps even as low as a penny a month.
This wouldn't really matter for a low traffic personal site.theappleguy said:I wouldn't recommend that for three reasons:

While many have policies, some don't. I would even venture to guess that most don't even care unless you are maxing out the pipe on a shared Cable connection.theappleguy said:3) Many ISPs do not allow you to run servers on their connections.

If your savvy and have lots of spare time, it doesn't hurt to run your own webserver. If not, I would recommend Surpass Hosting - although their rates have climbed recently, the service was outstanding and fast!

I don't think hosting from your own computer is as feasible for laptop users as it is for desktop users, for obvious reasons![]()
