Hi there,
Greetings!
Is there any free hosting that can give your uploaded site a .com specially found at the end of your address (no fee).
Thanks.

well 20 minutes isn't long to wait for an answer, but essentially no. Companies have to pay for domains, servers, and transfer (amongst a hundred other things). Unless you get sponsered then you're pretty well out of luck I would think.

The free world that we saw a couple of years ago during the dot-com boom has changed. Even the biggest companies have cut down what they offer for free; sometimes it's just not worth going with a free host when they give you only 500MB of transfer a month....:rolleyes:

Yes, free hosting no longer exist but if you really want one check the Web Hosting Special Offers forum frequently. There're some hosts sometimes give away free hosting as promotion but just a few accounts so you must be one of the first to win.

*There's no such thing as a free lunch*
Having said that, you will quite often find free offers in the Web Hosting Special Offers forum (as Networks Data has told you)

(sorry.... hit enter too soon :)
But whenever you find *free offers*, there's always some way that the company will make money, otherwise they wouldn't be in business. So whether it's offering free domain names to sell hosting, or offering free hosting to sell domain names, OR.... offering free everything in the hopes of acquiring customers that spread the word..... whatever it is, there will be a way to profit from it or there's no point.
Cheers!

TO be honest, we don't have tons of free web users here (not the main topic), so you might be better off looking at http://www.freewebspace.net and http://www.freewebspace.net/forums and asking there as well. Yes, I mod there too, but I don't know of any other places to suggest.
