Smile I need a website...


Hello!

I have decided to make myself a website. Have you got any ideas or recommendations where I can get a free website? About 15-100MB should be enough.

Thanks!

I use 50webs and they haven't failed me yet! You'll end up getting a url like http://yourchoice.5u.com or something to that effect, which isn't too bad!

http://100webspace.com/ is a great site for basic hosting, it offers 100MB data, 3GB/mo transfer, MySQL, PHP, cron jobs, and more.

CJB does not offer hosting though as far as I know.

If you have a friend who has a server, you could do that.

If you make an account...then login on the home and then select "Web Hosting" from the drop down menu. This will then give you the upload form.

http://100webspace.com/ says "we do not accept signups from your country."

What kind of nonsense is that? Are we from a different planet or what? Or are we second class citizens. I fail to understand this kind of blanket discrimination. No explanations, no apologies, just a blanket ban.

Makes me sick.

Truthfully and to be honest, it only takes one person to ruin it for the rest. Perhaps since they just blocked a whole country cause some weasels abused it, they should place better monitoring programs so not everyone is targeted and viewed the same, such a shame but it is however their website. You'd think though they could come up with a statement that doesn't come off as so prejudicial though.

Yes. I felt that they could have explained in more words or perhaps offered some explanation.

Just the one statement:

we do not accept signups from your country.

was quite jarring on my nerves. Probably because I found that their hosting was pretty decent and I wanted to try it out myself.

It's a pity but I have found this discriminination in many places on the web if they find that you're not from a first world country.

There are also sites where they simply reject credit card payments just by checking which country you're from.

They're within their rights to do all that, of course, but it simply goes against the borderless nature and the spirit of the internet and the community of internet users.

The web hosting services are provided by 100WebSpace.com, orders paid through 2Checkout.com will be sold by 2CheckOut.com Inc. (Ohio, USA).

This is the message on the site. Looks like a padi service.

If its only a personal website, your not expecting much traffic and you have broadband you can easily run a webserver from your own machine, thats what I do anyway
