Default Re: OT - Free web hosting recommendations?

OK I will try to use shorter phrases rather than a (complaints received)long pitch. Feel free to ask.

It takes FAR less computer to server something, than it does to create it. Whether its web pages, graphics, sound, even game files.

A server is mostly a network card, CPU, and memory. The rest can be the absolute total minimum that any shop will put in and it will probably do you well.

Administrating any server for any reason is 90% find the answer online and cut&paste the answer into a file. If you are an above average user, then you can move up to admin. If you are comfortable with directorys, files, editing, moving, permissions, etc of files on windows, then you can consider windows admin. If on linux then consider linux admin.

IMPORTANT: for the statements above, admin does NOT include installs and compiles. Thats a WHOLE different headache. But it falls ABOVE admin (as in, it can be put off as the NEXT step up for you). I have no shame whatsoever in paying someone to do the installs on systems that I admin for years after that.
