Free Web Page Hosting with Fortunecity
FortuneCity is one of the top providers of free web page hosting. They also offer affordable, reliable ad-free web hosting and dedicated hosting services. They also provide domain name hosting and web and email redirection services. It is a good place to host your personal or small business web page.
What You Get for Web Page Hosting
FortuneCity has been in service for a long time. With their service you know that your web site will always be available for your visitors. Web page hosting with a reliable company is essential to the success of your site even if it is a personal web site. Their offer of 25MB of space will provide all you could need for hosting your web pages. This could be a craft site or photo album which is graphic intensive. The only drawback to the free site is the banner ad at the top of your pages. They do offer additional paid hosting packages at a reasonable cost which will remove the banner ads.
All uploading is done through FTP so you will need to learn a little more than some other free hosts but having a host that has been around as long as FortuneCity can be worth the trouble.
Your account will be a free sub-domain in the form of members.forunecity.com/yourname. Domain name registration is only available for paid hosting accounts.
Web Page Hosting Restrictions
You may not use the free web space provided for online storage purposes. Only HTML web pages are allowed.
They provide 25MB of free web page hosting that is provided by the sponsorship of advertisers. In return, each web page that you host must have an advertising banner. It is automatically inserted into the page at the top of the browser window. You may not remove, resize, or otherwise block any of the banners that are inserted onto your web page(s).
Web sites that receive no visitors or are not updated during a 60 day period are considered 'inactive' and may be removed.
You may not use your web page to provide material, or links to such items, that are offensive to the community. These include: bigotry, racism, hatred, or profanity; information supporting illegal activities such as the building or use of weapons, computer viruses, or copyrighted material including music files.
Your Web pages may not contain: sex, pornography, obscene material, or tasteless images; illegal software, warez or hacked software or serial numbers; pyramid schemes; scripts which collect personal information about users; storage of large files which are only linked from other sites.
Password protection on any of your web pages is not allowed.
They do not provide any email addresses for your web site or any email forwarding. This is only provided with paid hosting accounts.
They do not allow any PHP, CGI or Server Side Include scripting so if you want to use forms you will need to use another provider for these services. This includes mail to contact or feedback forms.
