Hello I might buy a .com name for my site but Im not sure if i want to pay for the hosting. Does anyone know a host that would let me use my own .com? one thats has a decent amount of space (50+mb) thanks.Nigel IP: Logged |

Hee hee, if that existed, we'd all be on it. I'm afraid the simplest you can get without paying is to go for .homestead.com or .tripod.com or .angelfire.com, etc...IP: Logged |

Yes, but they will insert their name into it.My site is the Tomb Raider Library
My URL is http://TRLibrary.tripod.com I chose the TRlibrary part, but
Tripod.com, where my site is stored, stuck
the tripod part on the end. So my .com is partially my own, and partially tripod's. This is as close as you can get without paying, as far as I know. [This message has been edited by Raider of Tombs (edited 10-10-2001).] IP: Logged |

Now I know it isn't much use at the moment because they are down, but once they are up you could have a look...the Url is http://home.zeroth.net/ and they are free. Here are some features... Features:
o Domain Hosting only - you must own a domain
o Windows 2000 Advanced Server OS (NT 5)
o Internet Information Services 5.0 webserver (Fully protected from the Code Red virus and variations)
o Support for any Perl or PHP scripts that run under Win32 (Windows NT)
o ASP, PHP, CGI (Perl, Python, TCL), and Front Page Extensions
o Microsoft .NET ready
o mySQL
o Server-Side Includes using .htm or .html extensions (this means no renaming your pages and links to use SSI, however .stm, .shtm and .shtml will work, too) Use customized error pages (error pages do not support SSI)
o Specify any document name as a default document
o Simple text banners can be made for you for free (like everything from us) 
o IndigoStar Sendmail
o Full featured SMTP/POP mailserver
o POP AND web-based email (user@yourdomain.com) with 5 accounts (more if absolutely necessary)
o Free email forwarding (if preferred)
o Free installed forum (if requested)!
o DNS services
o Up to 5 free subdomains!
o Unlimited space (within reason, no 2 GB sites)
o Password protected directories available
o HTML help
o 24/7 FTP access that supports downloading (unlike Webjump)
o UNLIMITED TRANSFER
o Free installed lite stats that do not require code on your pages. Sample
o Free comprehensive stats that require code put on your pages (it's worth it).
o There will never be ads or pop-up windows added to your site (your surfers should not be directed away from your site to make someone else money!) We encourage you to place a small text link to home.zeroth.net on the bottom of your pages, but we do not require it
o Super fast primary server with backup server.
o Unparalleled support via ICQ, email, phone, or forum You might want to look into it.
