Hey all,

Long title, I know. As many of you know I've recently gotten into web development/creation. I've gotten fairly good at HTML, but am having difficulty with CSS (practice makes perfect!). Anyway, that's not really the point of the thread.

I'm asking if anybody knows of any free hosting sites that will let you upload your own HTML documents, besides Yahoo Geocities? My teacher said I should look into one for good practice at uploading documents to the actual web via an FTP client (which I will also be looking into shortly).

If anybody knows of any [good] ones then please tell me!

Thanks in advance!

I'll host your stuff. Send me an email and I'll set you up with unlimited hosting on my server. tyler.conlee at moltenbytedesign.com

It'll be something like yoursubdomain.moltenbytedesign.com, if that's alright.

Yeah, I would have used Geocities if it weren't closing. I've used it before (and hate it), but it would have worked for doing test websites.

Well, I googled for free web hosting sites (but didn't find anything I liked), and I didn't see any Google hosting site thingy.

I'm using webs.com right now, but it doesn't let you upload your own HTML documents, unless you pay them...

You mean though FTP? Because you can upload them using the upload tools on your main editing page, just not with FTP.

I do mean through FTP. My 'teacher' wants me to do it that way, because that's the more proper way (or whatever).

I disagree with your teacher. If you have a website with lots of files and have a host that supports FTP (and you have access to it) then FTP is obviously a good idea. If your website is small and getting access to FTP is difficult then there's nothing wrong with using a website's uploading tool. Your teacher sounds a bit old fashioned to me

Well, he's not really an official teacher, he's just helping me learn a few things and giving me advice (which I appreciate a lot!).

The fact of the matter is I want to learn the absolute correct way of making and developing websites, and that involves knowledge of FTP. I'm not going to build my own application that builds websites by drag n' drop (is webs.com considered that...?), I'm too lazy. Besides, I'd rather code. It's in my blood.
