Yo. Well it's turned into a thorough quest, sure.

All I wanted when I started was a standard webhost where you could put up a blog site or cms site, as per normal, but of course maybe with low webspace & bandwidth as you're not paying.

Sounds simple. But as yet I haven't found one. Lots of free hosts that will suit flat sites (straight HTML pages aka static sites), but nothing that looks good for any modern database site like Wordpress or Joomla.

Also you can easily get hosting if you want to go on a subdomain of theirs, like yoursitename.theirdomain.com, but that's not suitable for any kind of permanent site, just for temporary sites.

The last one I tried was x10, but although in theory they tell you their nameservers (to set up your domain with them), there's no way to get further with them, no answer in the forum etc. So that's a dud.

So far all I can find is good solutions if you have a small HTML page site that is temporary, maybe for a one-off event or something.

-sigh-
