FAQ: Where can I get website hosting?

Since I figured this forum could use a topic like this, here is a list of webhosts for those who need one. Feel free to add ones you know of or your own to the list, but for the love of all that is holy, no advertising or you'll be sleeping six feet under in a coffin tonight.

Very useful in the absence of file uploading, shall be stickied. Also take note, some sites like geocities.com need their filenames to be renamed to .txt before being able to use them (like my sig), sites like that don't allow off-site linking.

I use Flatface - unlimited bandwidth ahoy!

I use tripod but now I'm moving because they keep jacking up they're prices!

american tripod SUX! use the europian.. like the tripod UK, that's better... i think... well yeah, iits the same as the dutch one... yeah...

Yeah, the .uk Tripod has PHP support, but it ate the PHPBB script I uploaded! ='E

Also, Quicky, remove CrossWinds, they aren't free anymore. I lost my site when that happened. =/

Glad this is up. Finally, no more members to complain about teh uploader being down.

Tripod's Website Builder program SUCKS, so you'd better know HTML if you use Tripod.

NotePad and WordPad are still the best.

For anyone who just needs someplace to store their avatar and sig pics, try http://www.sighosting.com. You get only 3mb (for free), but it's more than enough to solve the problem of where to host forum sigs. Be sure to read the rules first.

http://www.tripod.com

If you don't know HTML, don't make web pages. Good day.

I had no html experience when I made the MFGG design.
