My advice: Avoid Free web sites

As with free email, there are many free web site providers. Unfortunately, I must advice against using a free web site if you are serious about getting visitors to your web site. Not that you cannot develop a successful site on a free web site, but if you do become succesful why would you let someone else get the advertising revenue. Unfortunately, you also cannot easily move your succesful web site to another hosting provider if you do not own the domain name. So, investing in a professionally hosted web site with a domain name that you own is absolutely necessary if you want to succeed on the Internet. And, it does not have to be expensive. I pay only US$5 a month for this web site which can get as many as 4000 visitors per day, and for a few dollars more you can even host a web site with lots more traffic.

However, if you still want to get a free web site for some fun or to learn about web design, you can find the best providers of free web hosting here. You might also have a look at our free domains page.
