Hi Kaa,

If you don't want to purchase a domain name for your new site, I suggest you find a web host that offers subdomains. Usually subdomains are free, and you'll get a URL that looks something like this:

yourname.hostname.com

If you go to the Web Hosting Requests Forum, you can ask for a host that offers a free subdomain and whatever your other needs are, and you will get plenty of offers to choose from.

try www.brinkster.com they offer free hosting with no ads and they support asp and the such..the only downfall is they don't support FTP for their free service...you have to use a webbased uploader.

I'd also agree with the brinkster idea since you can get something like www.brinkster.com/(your website name here), they give you ASP support and it is ad-free. I'm not crazy on the web-based upload or that they calculate monthly bandwidth usage daily but other than that they're pretty stable.

it would be more easy Kaa to buy a domain name cheaply
.. they can be bought for about $10 - $15 (US dollars) a year .. and perhaps stay away from brinkster

I have seen sites on brinkster, let me rephrase that .. I have not seen sites on brinkster that have exceeded their bw usage
