Hi Guys,


Got a question... A friend of mine is looking for free hosting. I tried to get her to sign up with IH but she can't really afford it right now.
Site will be an official site and I've asked her to ask the actor if he'd be willing to put in money but so far she is wantin to consider all options first before having him put in money for the site.:)

She has nixed my ideas to use Geocities, Tripod, Angelfire, FortuneCity and says she will not use them.

So does anyone have any recommendations for a free hosting site that has cpanel, php if possible but I'm not holding my breath for that.:)


Hope I made sense.:)

Take Care,
Kelly

You get what you pay for.....really! There are always clauses and such that you have to adhere to even if they don't put a "banner" on your site or use pop-ups or pop-unders.....

An "official" site needs to have the money invested into it just as the actor pays to have his resume sent out and all the stuff he has to pay for before, during and after auditions.....it's all part of a cost call "advertising" and if they cannot afford $60 a year for advertising, then the site is not worthing putting up........

I am not telling you that....I would hope you would know that....but I just say that since I have not, and do not, recommended free hosting to anyone.

Hi Smackdaddy,

I agree... Never again will I use free hosting.. i'd much rather stay here for the rest of my life.*LOL* Service has been awesome as well as the speed of the site.:)
I've suggested best way to go is to pay for hosting.:)
When you think about it it's not that much for a whole year paying monthly plus domain hosting.:) I'm very sure he can afford it but question is is he willing to put in the time and effort to keep it updated and keep his fans entertained... we'll wait and see.:)

Take Care,
Kelly
