Free and Cheap—Web Space Options for the Thrifty At Heart

There are some good deals on the internet concerning web space and hosting but you have to look to find the best deals. You should also consider how long a provider has been in business.
Finding free web space on the Internet is simple. All you have to do is use a simple Web search (Google, AltaVista or Yahoo) and the results should bring back options for free web space. There are many individuals and businesses looking for a place to put their website without having to pay for the service. These free services can provide anywhere from 5MB to 100Mb of online web space for hosting your web site.
Free sites also come with some cool stuff, such as counters, guestbooks, virtual domain names, tracking logs, blogs, copy and past scripts that are usually Java code scripts and more. These additions are good for people that have little or no knowledge into building a web site.
A free service provides benefits to all people and may sound like a good idea but the goal is to do your research to see if the deals are viable or not. Free services can also bring other unwanted things that you have to deal with when you sign up for the service. Usually, you have to submit to advertising and surveys by filling out a form before you can get your free service. Be sure that you read the user agreements that come with the free services. Here’s a great free web hosting option, that offers free web space with no advertizing. http://ronaldchaney.com/get/freehosting
You can go on the cheap and don’t want advertisements running on your site, you can get a service similar to free hosting but you would have to pay a small fee to keep your web page ad-free.  Some of these providers will offer you a service for $5.95 a month with 100MB of web space if that’s all that you need, and you can always upgrade your packages.
There’s a lot of competition for your Web site hosting dollars, and you can find some pretty good deals if you look hard enough.

To Build almost any website you will need HTML editing software or WYSIWYG(what you see is what you get). The best one that I know of for the internet marketer is

Xsitepro and again this is the software that I use to build and edit my sites. Xsitepro may be a little pricee for the newbie, and a very good free option is My Free Website Builder

This free software comes complete with very good support, including video tutorials. Its amazing to me that they give this software away for free.
