So I want to create a small personal website just to learn how to do so (i know some html and css). I don't really want to pay for webhosting/domain so do you guys know any good free webhosting websites that come with free domain or subdomains?

So far I've found Xtreemhost but it doesn't come with a subdomain, and Biz.ly that comes with a subdomain but doesn't give much "webspace" (would 50mb be enough?).

 

Or is there another way create a website? As much information about website creation would be helpful! Thanks!

Don't worry so much about the domain. You can code with HTML and CSS on your own w/o a domain, and everything will show up just fine in your browser. 

yea but i want to see it live :D

 

I use Weebly for all of my websites now.

I've used weebly and google sites before but i want to build one from scratch this time

cool 000webhost looks pretty good, thanks! Just one question, does it provide a sub-domain? (i don't have my own domain) EDIT: I just got a free domain! But they also have sub-domains if anyone else is interested.

And i'm not really at the stage of getting a paid hosting service, but ill remember the offer ;) .

ewww!!! 000webhost!!! gross!!! whenever I use 000webhost and get 100 users a day they end up terminating my account for using up to much bandwidth. I think using a service such as host1free's free vps and setting up your own web server would be allot more efficient

I used them before going professional and I had thousands of users connect every hour and they didn't complain. You probably just fucked up your scripts somewhere causing them to unnecessarily hog resources :P For a free service they're very decent!

Send me a PM and I will set you up a small account on my server which will give you a great test bed - CPanel, MySQL, Postgres, SQLite and all the bells and whistles and I'll just stick a random domain on it.

Well I don't expect many visitors on this website as its just going to be a personal website. At the max 10 views in a day, so it should be fine.

Well i got a domain and hosting site set up but thanks for the offer!

github.io can have your own subdomain, eg pixelpips.github.io, as well as full control over files. Github.io is meant for developing websites, not managing things with cpanel.

I might be wrong.
