Where can I get free or cheap web hosting?

The solution of the previous user has limitations, your home internet upload capacity.

Most of the time you'll be able to download WAY faster than upload. In your case, people need to see your work, hence you need to send (via your webpage) the pictures to them, your upload speed is probably 100x slower than you download speed and will be pretty slow for them.

plus, you may not have a spare computer to leave on 24/7...

anywyay, to get back to your question: I'd try this:

it's free, why not try it out!

Don’t use free services to set up your website. Free services offer a sub-domain, not a real domain name. This means your site address will be something like http://yoursite.freewebs.com,/ not www.yoursite.com. This way your website doesn’t look professional. On the other hand, there are some limitations with free web hosting services. In a word, if you want to have a serious presence on the web, you must pay for it. I recommend get a reliable company to do that in return for a few dollars.

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: www.yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

As an experienced webmaster I recommend BH web hosting which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

Hope this helps.

download ubuntu server edition. install it on a computer( during the install make sure to select "LAMP" as the software package, this will give you everything you need for a webserver). and buy a domain name for 10 bucks a year at godaddy.com

naturally you'll need a static IP address, and if you don't then you can sign up for DNS (usually for free) and use something like a perl script to every 10 minutes or so update the DNS as to what your current IP address is. (some DNS service providers are even kind enough to write the script for you, and have it available for download at there site.)

your webpage(s) go into the /www folder

your costs total, time to set up, secure and manage the server. electricity costs, and the 10 dollar per year fee at godaddy for a domain name.

also, the computer, does not have to be really powerful. i have hosted several sites on pentium 3 550 MHz machines with less then 300 MB of system memory.

so basically if you have a "junker" or pull one out of someone's trash, there is your free hardware.

Check out http://buywebspacetoday.com/recommended-web-hosts/ for a list of affordable, reliable web hosts. Once you've signed up with a web host, I would recommend you use http://wordpress.org/ to showcase your art work. Most web hosts have application installers that will allow you to install Wordpress in a few clicks. There are lots of free and premium portfolio themes available for Wordpress that can get you started right away. When you design your own theme later, you can just change the theme; the content will be up and ready.

Only thing is that there is some premium back grounds you can't get, but plenty of free ones! But say i registered with the web dress www.example.com, if you want it free, you have to let them put in their name like this: www.example.webs.com! have fun and let me no your website whn you are done! i wanna see it!

I moved my Geocities website to 000webhost.com. They offer both free and paid hosting, and plenty of storage

I used directnic.com for several years and never had any problems. Word of advice on creating a site. Don't use frontpage, it has huge performance impact on the servers and really doesn't work that well to begin with.
