alright, as i have spotted people are wandering and posting topics about where to get free hosting, i have started a topic and i will give you the best choice to have a free host.
saying that, a free host is not your best choice because payed hosting are verry relyable, mostly 99.9% uptime, better features, better support,and less errors and such.

but anyway let's go to free hosting.

there are currently 2 choices for you. and these choices are the best ones. i will asure you that if you search for 1 week in google and such, try to register and test, you will find these websites better than anything.

1:
http://www.000webhosts.com/

please visit this site.
this site will give you a good free hosting plan, 1500 meg free storage, and over 100 gb bandwidth!
also offering php scripts. fantastico installer, MYSQL, e-mail accounts, and some good features that are verry useful for an website admin (like 1-click restore, 1-click reset hosting, auto installing CMS, website stats and such)

this hosting plan will give you also free domain, yourdomain.(xxx).com that xxx can be site90, site 60, comxa, mimbo, mer, geo13, and many many things.

but, you just want to head to the
http://www.co.cc
and register for a free domain!
once you get yourdomain.co.cc, you can then set your ns servers to 000webhosts.com or whatever then people can access your site by that domain!

disadvantage of 000webhosts.com:
it will ask for captcha image for evrry log in session, without any audio assistance. so you probably need webvism (firefox) to work with your hosting control panel!


choice 2:
http://www.0000free.com

it offers 3 hosting plans, which 2 of them are free!

it is completely similar to 000webhost, but the second plan which offers more usage (2000 meg) needs you to make a forum account, and have 20 posts in a month.
the first plan has just 1000 meg of usage.
also not to mention, that the first plan includes (just 10 gigabites) bandwidth and the second plan gives you (20 gigabites)
please visit
http://0000free.com/hosting.html
to check out the first and second free plans.


also as mentioned above, you can visit
http://www.co.cc to get a cool .co.cc domain,
or alternatively
http://www.freedomain.co.nr to get yourdomain.co.nr

if you want my personal idea, 000webhosts is my favor, because it already gives you 100 gb! bandwidth, and gives 1500 megabites without needing you to do anything.

but still, you might want to use the 0000free.com, which will give you 2000 (megs) storage with 20 posts in a month, also no need to fill captcha evrrytime you log in!

but remember, heavy traffic needs more bandwidth. i don't recommend the first plan of 0000free.com that gives you 10gb if you feel that your site will be a famous one!

and remember, payed-hosting always beats the fre ones!

good luck

Oh my god! This is the best information I have gotten in a long time. Thank you! I am installing Firefox just for this. It has the Webvism thing on it for the captchas. I am going to check out the first choice.

Hi,
Sadly I have to disagree. I don't think the websites mentioned here are the best free ones. CWahi, as I mentioned in the other topic is really unlimited. Unlimited bandwidth, no adds, etc.
But then, its people's choice what to use smile

Ok so this is slightly off topic but would this site be a good place to set up a Shoutcast server? I've been wanting to do that for the longest time but don't know the first place to start.

The glass is neither half empty nor half full. It's just holding half the amount it can potentially hold.

Hi,
@gamedude, every info you would need is on their main page and/or in their feature list.
@turtlepower17, Unfortunately this is only a web host to host web pages, files, etc. While you could in theory set up a php sever which would stream music, it wouldn't be near as good as shoutcast.
For that, I'd recommend looking for a dedicated shoutcast hosting service. Unfortunately those tend to be not free.

I am going to go with CWahi, as I would like my bandwidth to be a large one!
