Free Hosts
I don't really have the money right now to buy a domain and I really want to get a domain but I need a free one. So I was wondering what you guys think is the best free Web Host. I'm okay if it is "www.(their site0.com/(my site) becuase I know a good place to get a free Top Level Domain. |

dot.tk domains used to be good, until they added those damn gateways to the domains. Just check out my old domain, http://www.videogamerc.tk to see what I mean. It's a good thing I got a real domain when I did.
I've used quite a few free web hosts (for about 3 1/2 years, I've been jumping across different hosts) and I can safely say that 150m.com was the best. They only had one ad, and it was a banner ad across the top of the page that didn't really do anything to the layout; just pushed it down the page. Plus, if I can remember correctly, it was 100mb of space and 1.2gb of bandwidth. However, the site seems to be down. |

The only problem with a ot of those "no ads" free hosting is that they don't remain ad free for very long. A long time ago I used to use Host Ultra, and it was great at first because they didn't have any ads at all. But over time, the ads appeared, and after a while they got so bad I even had a couple of complaints from my visitors about them. Ever since switching to paid hosting, I've never looked back.
I agree that Dot TK is totally annoying with their gateway page. Is there an option to turn it off? They used to have a banner ad but you could turn that off if you wanted. I have my own .com but I still get a lot of visitors from my old .tk address. I recently set up a silly webpage using .vze.com (which is accessed through shorturl.com). They put a tiny little thing down the very bottom saying "Powered by Short URL .com".

I've noticed that too Lysia. I suppose it's mainly because there are so many people desperate for free hosts, that as soon as a good one comes up, everyone dives in for it.
