That might depend on who your ISP is. I get a free Geocities website with my AT&T service.

Finding the "best" web provider is like choosing a car. Everyone has a different idea of what "best" is.

Hi,
First of all you tell me how many pages do you want in your website because cost is totally depend on web pages anyway I recently came across a site called tiptopwebsite.com that provides opportunity to create own website with good packages. You can get a complete website for only $1. Hope this will help you.
Good luck!

Hi,

It depends on the content and quantity of pages ... if you are using some thing which needed data base or server sode help. than it will cause some amount. The Best I can see now is hostmysite.com they will give you much space and flexibility for your site.

But the final choice is yours.......

Have a nice time & good luck.
Regards,
Shikeb Ali

'Best' is subjective. It depends on your needs.

Paid Hosting
  • unique domain name e.g www.Hernandez.com
  • advanced technologies such as sql, php, asp, etc
  • large storage needs requiring gigabytes upon gigabytes
  • total control of content, i.e. no advertisements
  • commercial site used for selling products and/or services

Free Hosting
  • when you don't need any points mentioned above
  • a personal site about you e.g. a blog with a bio and some photos
  • to simply experiment with the idea of having your own website

A good free hosting site I use is 110mb

It, I assume you are referring to the hyperlink, is a free web hosting site. You sign up for an account and in a few minutes/hours you can add content and publish web pages to the web. There is also a forum within the website where users give advice and ask questions.

I'm looking to create my own website, so it'll be great help.


I am currently using a NetFirms Plus Account (http://www.netfirms.com/web-hosting/). It is only $4.95/month and has great features. In the past I have also used GoDaddy (https://www.godaddy.com) which I also would recommend.

There are also many others such as 1and1, HostGator, and many others but I have not specifically used them.

I never use free sites as they aren't always reliable. The old saying, "you get what you pay for" goes a long way. If you spend time creating your site why host with someone you can't guarantee it will be 99.9% of the time or more. Free sites also can have lots of adds and slow load times.

Best of luck,
Clif Bridegum
