Every Web page needs a home, and finding free Web space for your home page is very easy.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer Mice
  • Modems
  • Internet Service Providers
  • E-mail Software
  • Search Engines
  1. Step 1

    Check with your Internet service provider (ISP). Most ISPs offer 2 to 10 MB of Web space with your account.

  2. Step 2

    Visit Web sites that offer directory listings of free Web space. These sites typically allow you to select the options you need and display a list of providers meeting those needs.

  3. Step 3

    Determine the amount of space you need. In Internet Explorer, find the file for one of the pages on your Web site; right-click on the file with your mouse and select Properties. Multiply this number by the number of Web pages you plan to add.

  4. Step 4

    Read the provider's terms and conditions before agreeing to use its site. Some providers require banners or other ads to be placed on users' Web pages.

  5. Step 5

    Print out the instructions for uploading your site to the provider's site. Read the FAQ (frequently asked questions) or send an e-mail message to technical support if you have any questions.

  6. Step 6

    Upload the site following the printed instructions.

  7. Step 7

    Type the address you were assigned into your Web browser to view your uploaded Web pages.

  8. Step 8

    Send an e-mail announcing your new Web site.

Tips & Warnings
  • You can also find free space by typing "free Web space" into any search engine.
  • Some Web providers offer "domain hosting," which means you get your own Web domain name at a nominal charge. So your Web site address would be, for example, www.mysite.com, as opposed to www.WebSpaceProviderName/Mysite.
  • Some free providers host personal pages, while others are geared toward business pages.
