How to put my website on the Internet?

[conch575]

Hi, in class we had to make a website for an assignment. It could be about whatever we wanted, so I decided to make a page full of random stories with my friends and I. I have decided I want to put this site on the internet for all my other friends to access, but the thing is, it's made on MS Notepad.

Where/how would I upload this website to? Are there any *free* web hosting sites? It's not a very big thing, but I'd like to keep persuing this site that I've made and share it with everyone.

Hey,

You can have space on my personal server free of charge.

Assuming you have a Mac:

In the Finder bar, click "Go", then "Connect to server"

Type the following in the box: http://conch.hhst.me/
Then click Connect

When asked:
Username: conch575
Password: (PM me for it)

Click "OK"

Drag the site files into the Finder window.
It can be accessed at http://conch.hhst.me/
(We can change conch to something else, I just chose that based on your username)

Have fun

Pass is shell575

If anyone else is reading this, that isn't the real password, so don't bother trying.

Hahah I get it, a Conch is a shell! So it's like my user name!

Yes

I was thinking conch = shell when I made the password.

(I'm only sixteen, I find it odd that I happen to own a web server collection)

what is your web server running on?

Hosts run by kids = bad idea

nice. so how did you setup the dns servers? that's the thing i need really, but i've never tried to set one up before

What internet connection does it have?

15mbps down, 2 up.

15mbps down, 2 up.

Only 2 mbps up? Why would you have less upload than download for a web host? It seems like it should be the other way around.

I'll upgrade when I see fit. I never get more than about 250 requests a day, and everything's fast enough. I don't plan to be the next Host Gator or anything.
