Web hosting?

recently i recieved a domain name from a buddy, but i dont have a webhost, and i dont really want to pay for one. all i want on the site is a forum, i have a host, that i thought was good, but they disabled sending mail to free accounts, so i have my forum, but no one can register, unless i pay the host to enable the sending mail option. the domain is still my buddies, he is just forwarding it and maskign the url to the free host i use. any suggestions on good free hosts?

As with anything in this life, you get what you pay for. If you can even find a free hosting company that lets you host free forums (which tend to be very resource heavy), they will bombard your visitors with ads.





There are really a lot of cheap hosting companies out there that are pretty cheap. I have provided a link for you that has one for $8 a month.

Reply:If you are currently a paid Internet subscriber, you are entitled to a "homepage" which often contains simple navigation and editing tools. And if you use the Netscape browser, the built-in Composer feature is a superior HTML authoring tool. You can easily generate a full-blown website as a Homepage.





Nevertheless, the "homepage" URL is likely to be "http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscribe... name" and that URL can easily be overwritten via a redirection service, i.e., "mydomain.com" which allows you to link any registered domain name to "mask" another website. For example, should you type in the "domain name," you will be immediately transported to the homepage and the hompage URL of http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber... a homepage URL which will be masked by the domain name. And the charge for the redirection service [even at godaddy.com] is normally FREE.





Here's a demonstration: Type in the URL window: "www.pizzanextdoor.com" which will bring up their pizza website. Take note of the domain name. Then type in the URL window: "http://home.pacbell.net/vten/1a/pizzame... and you will see that this is the original homepage which is unmasked without the domain name.





Good luck!
