How can I host websites for free?

Are there good free sites? I have found one or two... but they only allow you to host one site for free and I have about 10 sites I would like to host.

I know I can get Apache, and I think this is my only option... but are there any sites that would do this for free without me having to get Apache?

PS: I already got Apache.
 
Apache is probably a lost cause since a lot of ISP block inbound 80 and 443.

Usually you'd get a business connection that allows those inbound or some kind of cheap vps
 
So what ISN'T a lost cause?

I've used Apache before successfully, but this was in 2008 and I have since forgotten how to configure it and can't figure it out again....

I can't even figure out how to download it!!!
 
You don't sound very versed in Internet stuff. 10 websites? Free hosters won't let you do that and even a payed shared host at most will allow up to 3 addon domains. Which can be a pain in the ass to get working since you have to use code in your htaccess file.

sudo apt-get install apache2 is a Linux command to install Apache. Or you could opt for Ubuntu Server LTS which has LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP) That is if you need lamp. You could read about Xampp and secure that to host a site. It's really meant for local test install only.

You're better off getting a VPS with a host. I've heard good things with Stablehost. And for your DNS Namesilo is pretty good. I use them myself.

Well what's the Windows command to install Apache?

Do I need LAMP? You tell me.

Is there a need to download XAMPP if I get Apache?
