Wait, do you want free hosting or a site where it will help build the site as well?


Do you have any requirements of Space / Bandwidth?
Use of ASP, PHP, MySQL?

There are a lot of free hosts out there, just depends what needs you have.

Since sterling is fairly strong right now, you can get a very very good deal from some of the american companies. I paid something like £10 a year on a promotional offer and I get more space than I know what to do with!

I want free hosting as i have software to build the site, I want to show pictures and reports I wrote about Concorde's last days and my flight on it, all this will take up a lot of room.

Space = as much as i can get

What is ASP, PHP ?

Don't know if i need mySQL.

In time i want to learn HTML as well so i can program my own site, but for the time being i want to keep it simple and build it up over time.

£10 a year is a good deal but whats the company name and how much space can you have ?
