The web hosting services being offered today are either paid or free. The paid version is basically where you pay for specified space on a web server for some fixed time.
In the free servers, the user has to register on one of the free service provider's site. After receiving a username and password, you can upload your files to the server either directly using site upload or by using FTP.
The major free server providers are
Yahoo Geocities
Net firms
Domaindlx
Tripod
These sites usually have very long domain names, like in the case of Geocities, it is of the form http://www.geocities.com/username/ which is obviously to long and difficult to remember. Hence you must go for free URL redirection services. The major providers are
Dot TK
co.nr
shortURL
8m
cjb.net
