The title says it all. I tried freewebs but they don't support them.

not many do as they really slow the server down when it is hosting hundreds of folders

You know what the dot is for, right? It makes the files hidden on a Linux system, which is why it wouldn't work on a Windows machine :-P That is probably for a Linux server.

You don't call it .htaccess in windows, create a file called temp.htaccess then upload it, then rename.

I don't think IIS webservers support .htaccess.

You might want to download and install Apache instead.

Windows Explorer won't let you rename a file to something beginning with a period, but you can easily do it from the command line (aka. the DOS prompt).

You may be able to find a free host if you hunt around, but I would recommend paying for some webspace instead. It means no advertising, a fairly speedy website, and a reasonable featureset without too many restrictions.

For my host it works out at something like £120 per year for a domain name, 2GB of webspace, 100MB MySQL database, htaccess, CGI and PHP 5 support. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some cheaper deals around.
