hey guys i have a pretty simple question...

first off u know how most of those free web hosting sites have ur link as like "www.freewebs.com/MY PAGE" or whatever...

are there any free web hosting sites that let me make my link more of just www.MY PAGE.com ...i really dont like having all the other parts in the link so i was just wondering if any sites do this...(googling sadly hasnt gotten me far enough this time :( )

You wont be able to get a .com for free. However you can host your site on something like freewebs...then use a url redirecting service like http://www.freedomain.co.nr/. Your website will then read "www.yoursite.co.nr" . :)
 
Or if you really want .com, you could register with something like godaddy(I think that's right) or other services. It's not free, but less than $20 a year, I do beleive.

I use godaddy and pay $8 for my .org (.com is the same price) and $8 to make it unlisted (I think they are having a special where it only costs $2 to make it unlisted)...
 
if i had adds or something on the page would i be able to make that 8 bucks back (i just need an excuse for letting this by my mom :D )

Wow... tell her it's an investment in her son. Tell her that you want to learn how to create webpages because maybe you could become a web designer...

I did not read your post completely. To purchase the domain name it is $8 a year. But, the lowest "economy" web hosting plan at godaddy is around $3 - $4 a month. (not the cheapest... but I trust them, they have a great interface and a lot of add-ons..)

so how much do u think this would all be total each month
 
Economy Plan:
• 5 GB Space • 250 GB Transfer
• 500 Email Accounts • FREE! Software
• 10 MySQL Databases • 50 Email Forwards
• Forums, Blogging, Photo Galleries • No ads
2 months:Just $3.99/mo
12 months: Just $3.59/mo SAVE 10%!
24 months: Just $3.19/mo SAVE 20%!

Domain name is $2 if you buy hosting as well with Godaddy. (www.godaddy.com)
 
Of course, there's nothing preventing you from using a free webhosting service (there are plenty of them out there), and paying for the domain name through a different company like godaddy. It would be your cheapest option.
 
I found 1 and 1 to have a cheap hosting. I pay 4.99 a month and have 50,000mb. 2 free domain name are included in the package.Also 10 ftp accounts and wow tons of email accounts. Domain names .net'.com and others. Give it a look at 1and1.com and check out the prices.There is also web site building tools included.
 
You can have something like

yourdomain.theirdomain.com
www.yourdomain.com.their domain. something . something

So in short, if you want just your domain.. you pretty much just have to pay for it. It's a good investment if you are planning to make profit off your site.. So its good for you and for them...
 
Dreamhsot is very chep for hsting, and you get a free domain, and loads and loads of features, if you pay 2 years up front you get a 20% discount, which brings the total to $190.8 , then if you use max97 as a discount code you get 97 $ off, which takes it down to $93.8, divide that between the 24 mothns (2 years) hosting you get $3.91 a month, for loads of storage, bandwidth and a domain

Lee :)
 
Domain names are your choice for instance my name is Paul Giglia so I went for paulygigs.net and now that is my domain name. If you went to that site you would see my site which is far from complete. As long as the name is not already registered then it is yours.It's your domain name .com or .net Be creative with the name and then tell everybody your name so everybody could visit your site. No matter who does the hosting have fun. That's what is all about.
 
you can get .info just for less than $2. not just godaddy, almost domain sellers sell .info in this price.. just googling to find it.
