  Free hosting is never free

    Maybe not these days, but it used to exist. Geocities comes to mind.

      I have seen neocities and I think it is trying to do the same, haven’t looked into it a lot though

  Notice the warning icon in browser next to the domain name

  Does that mean free if you bring your own domain but $22.95/mo if you let them register a domain? Love that 2500% markup.

    I think it’s free but you have to buy or bring a domain

      Yeah but my point is, domains are typically like $5-$20 per year instead of per month.

      (To be fair, that technically just says $22.95 and doesn’t specify per year or per month, but domains aren’t a one-time purchase either and all the other listed payments are monthly.)

  so the web is free, not the hosting?

    Looks like the hosting is free, although they run ads on whatever site you show. But renting the domain name isn’t. Presumably they also keep the revenue from the ads.

  I remember using a service like that in the late 90s/early 00s and the way to get around having the ads shown on the page was to rename the .html file to .jpeg.

  If you’re signing up for free hosting with ads, you might not need a domain.
