Drew explains it all.. but for further infromation... Gamehead, if you can't afford $5 a month you should get a job (you'll get atleast 5bucks/hr) save money, whatever, I'm paying for web hosting too. $5 a month, thats really it, no hidden charges. You get very fast ftp support (faster then your own connection for sure) and you get all that php/SQL/ stuff (you name it). And most of the time for $5 bucks you'll have a 5gig limit or so which is plenty. Ask anyone that has little experience with website/html that free webhosts basicly suck. They are down most of them time, and you have a great chance of loosing you're files for some stupid reason. Like they will tell you it's illegal or above a specific file limit... And, with payed hosting you also get unlimited HD space (most of the time). Hope this got you some wisdom on spending you're money wisely w00t
