Hey there,

My boss has purchased a domain name which has no host or webspace, she would like a free host, or someone very cheap, where she can make her site. Preferrably a site without banner ads.

She also needs to have her address point to this site, again hopefully free of charge.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

For listings of free providers check out
www.freewebspace.net
they list what features are included and some have reviews so you may find something there...although usually with *free* they will require some sort of banner ad or popup.
It would be worth checking into though.
Good Luck:)

Try Windows Personal Web Server

Unlimited Disk Space
You pay for only what you need, each 100 GB can be purchased for the mightly low, one-time fee of $250 (Installation cost may vary, see CompUSA for details)

Unlimited Data Transfer
You can send and receive as much as you want (restriction may be set by your ISP)

No monthly fees
You may have to pay a monthly ISP charge for the additional 56k line

Bandwidth Scalability
Upgrade to dual 56k, or even ISDN, DSL, or Cable, all at your own pace

Free DNS
Additional software may be required

SSI, PHP, CGI, Perl, MySQL, ASP, JSP, and MORE!
Additional software may be required

No Need for FTP
With Windows File and Printer Sharing, you can just file share into your www folder.

This is the best deal ever. Because basic setup is free. Simply insert your Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive (that is the thing that comes out of your computer that you put the little circles into), and install.

Additional setup may be required. See a CompUSA representative for details.
