What's the best Web free hosting service out there?

If you have a domain name and are trying to sell products, then I would recommend that you pay for a company to put your website on.(It's a business expense)(tax deductable)

If you have a business, then you can either design your own website or have someone do it for you.(another business expense)(tax deductable)

The search engines don't search the free websites. If you use a company to host your website, then they have their computer online and they usually have decent security measures.

Make your website simple. Use words more than flash objects. The crawlers can read the words. Make it load quickly. People hate to wait for a page to load.

And check your coding. Put your URL here and check for errors

Hope this helps.

I've done some work with a number of the web hostesting services....and I can clearly say... avoid 1&1. I've been trying to cancel for about 2 months and still getting charged. poor service and horrible customer service. avoid my mistake.

I use Domain Contender http://domaincontender.com. They are very helpful, and they offer Banner ads (very small), Frame ads, or Pop-ups!

Very good site!

Yahoo! Geocities is a great free web hosting and site making service. All you need is a free Yahoo! account. The free version has ads and no support for a "www.mydomain.com" site. But if you upgrade to Plus for about $5/month, you get no ads and your own domain name.
