Premium Web Hosting for $14.95/mo.

We recommend paid hosting for most business web sites. You'll look more professional without toting that banner around, and you'll get more features, like pop mail and your own cgi-bin.

You don't have to pay twenty dollars or up every month to get basic hosting either. Speedy, reliable, virtual hosting with 24 hour customer service can be gotten for a lot less. Sometimes, like with iPowerweb, you get an even better deal when you pay for more than a month at a time.

Free Hosts

Most free hosts will give you plenty of webspace and bandwidth in return for the placement of a banner ad at the tops of your pages, a pop-up ad, or both. The obvious plus is the fact that it doesn't cost you a dime. The drawback is that some consider the ads unprofessional. Also, with the free hosts we recommend for their reliability and features, you will need to sign up for domain forwarding (as in a Domain Direct personal identity account) when you register your domain name. All of the following, except iVillage, offer paid plans for those who don't want banner ads.

Bravenet: Personal & biz sites. Banner ad.
Angelfire: Personal & biz sites, customizable ad.
iVillage: For women. Personal & biz sites, banner ad on each page. Very fast.
GeoCities: Personal sites, very small ad square.
Tripod: Personal sites, customizable ad.
