I'm looking for a place to host a website. Right now, we have space at gwunderground.com, but their main site seems to always go down because of bandwidth issues.

I'm looking for a free webhost, preferably one meant for guild/clan websites, and that has none of that pop-up/banner advertising going on.

What I'm also looking for:
- full contol over HTML (not templates)
- FTP access
- decent amount of webspace (mostly, our large files will probably include screenshots and possibly forums, since right now we're just using proboards)
- decent bandwidth (as in, website accessible for more than 1-2 days)

Any suggestions?

Actually, I'm using ezboard.com for a guild forum. Not a full on webpage, though.

so if a place were to host all this for free how would they pay for their servers and bandwidth?

there are many places that sell webspace for as little as $3 (and some places even less) a month.. though webspace is limited limited emails etc to make up for low cost.

Actually, some people are quite generous and give out space. I had hosting at gwunderground and it worked decently until after the game was released, then their main site started getting hits. I had come across another place but can no longer find it.

cjb.com (or .net? i forget, haven't used in a long time) is a pretty good host. They're free, have no annoying ads(just a small line of text at top), and give 100 mb of space. However, they will delete the site if your page isn't visited for 90 days lol.

We use (well my guildies haven't actually used the site very much, but ....) www.guilduniverse.com .

It's FREE and super simple to use. It provides everything you need in a guild web page including news, forums, and calendar. You can peek at our page here, www.guilduniverse.com/sdrawkcab

This is a hosting place my friends and I have been using for our site:
www.gwtrade.net and we have set up our guild CEE on the forums there.

Feel free to take a look, or come by gwtrade forums and one of the mods there can get you set up.

Hey thanks for that link Chuck. I've now set up a new site there too . They're basic, but as you say, simple to use and convenient - and you can't complain about the price .

I recommend www.astahosting.com, they have a free program. You actively post on their forums to earn "hosting credits". Which lead to free hosting. You can host your site, forums, etc
