Where to Get Free Web Space
Once you have made your site you will
need a space to put it on a "server" that is connected to the
net. You can get server space sufficient for most sites for free.
- Your University ---
Your college/university may already have server space assigned to your
department or to your faculty without having bothered to tell you.
Most colleges will assign space to you merely by request, just contact
the Computing Services office on your campus.
- Your ISP --- If you pay
for internet access outside your job you may also be entitled to 5-50MB
of server space for making your own page. Check with your service
provider, most do give customers space on request.
- Free Online Providers ---
If your college is in the computing dark ages, and you don't pay for
your internet access, you can still find a free server. There are
about 100 companies that offer free web space, and many offer additional
free services, mostly in exchange for putting advertising banners on
your pages. The best known of these are Tripod, theglobe,
GeoCities, Angelfire, and X O O M, but there are many
other good free providers. The down side to free servers are pop up
windows and other annoyances. You can also pay for services
without these annoyances at a very minimal rate (see banner at top).
