Web sites; how to?

What's the best way to go about getting a relatively cheap, mostly ad-free website with quite a lot of web space? I know nothing about this sort of stuff, so any help would be appreciated.

I'm looking to start up a website of hockey clips (nothing professional), but I don't really know how to go about it. :huh:

There are some communities around that require you to post so many posts in their forums before having a free home page. I can't remember what they call those.

For about 10 bucks a month Canadian you can get 500 MB of space, and the first 6 months free. PM me if you want the host address.

100 mb of space
300 mb bandwidth/month

absolutely free
no ads

swear to god

it's what I use

--------------------------

only thing I'd worry about is bandwidth with you. If you're gonna have clips being downloaded, that'll suck up bandwidth dry.
Might be better suited to pay for something....

You might want to look into this free one. Bandwidth and server space can be increased by participating in their affiliate program.

Thanks all..

I've never understood what bandwith actually is. Does 500mb a month mean that say a 50 mb file can be downloaded 10 times a month?

These guys like pretty good, from my uneducated view point. This isn't free, but I don't mind paying a a couple of bucks a month. What would you lot recommend? :help:

Yes, and the upload counts against your bandwidth usage too. If you upload ten 50mB files to your server, you've used 500mB bandwidth. Also, whenever someone clicks one of your pages bandwidth is used to load it. If the page is 100KB, you'll use 100KB per click, which can add up fast if your site is popular.

I recommend reading the TOS very carefully with regard to acting as a file-server and to licensed or copyrighted content. You don't want to go to all the trouble setting it up only to have the host pull the plug on you.
