Can anyone recommend a free website provider that isn't geocities?

 

I have books on HTML, so I don't need it to be one of those one where you choose from one of five bland generic templates, etc.

 

I'd also appreciate it if you could mention why you think it's a good provider, as there seem so many to choose from, and I expect many of them to have "catches".

 

Also, out of curiosity - if the providers let you make websites for free, and they don't include any ads of their own, how do they make money?

Freewebs is good.

I don't know any *free* hosting service that has no ads at all. There are a few that have small ones, or text ads, or that require you to put a link on the bottom/top yourself so you can control how it looks, but I never heard of any "charity" provider that gives you hosting for free but doesn't expect to earn money in return

 

btw, googlepages isn't bad as well.

 

http://pages.google.com/

 

It doesn't allow ftp upload, but you can edit your HTML files online (copy/paste what you have maybe?)

hi this is ktg

 

you can go for hoemstead.com it is gr8.

I have made one web iste from that only.

I don't see an FTP option there (or any way of uploading your own files).. if they create it for you, does it work for learning HTML ?
