Free Hosting

Unless you have a business or a good well-established site you can go for free hosting. The company that host your page is the company that is holding your page on their servers so it can be seen on the web. Their are quite a few services out there that will give you space to put up your website and will give your page an address. The only catch is they put a small advertisement on the page or they have pop-up advertisements. These companies also offer paid services which are suually very cheap and provide more features. Here are a few good ones:
