Two websites come to my mind. Yahoo jeosities and tribot. Also i think lycos gives web hosting.
Probaply i didn't spell them right but probaply you understand what i mean. These are the most popular i think.

How much space and bandwidth are you after? There are so many kids in the hosting business that its hard to just say one good host.
What i mean is i can give you one that gives you unlimited space and bandwidth, but you should see a fault with that streight away.
You should consider going paid, or atleast your long term goal should be that.
I use jlhost, who also have a free hosting site, think its freepowered.com.
hth, ben.

A good site is
Free web space
If this link didn't work, it is www.freewebspace.com
It is pretty good, and I use it.

Portland communications (www.portland.co.uk) isn't bad, if you only need 15 MB of space.

Thanks for you're help. I got an account with 741.com or something like that. The problem is my games are over 1 mb and that's the file limit on there.
What I may have to do is distribute them through email or something until I find something better.

What games are you making? If you want beta testers you can contact me. I would be glad to test them.
But sorry this is out of the main subject.

Just simple ones at the moment. I have rock paper scissors, a slot machine, and a number guessing game, but I'm currently planning out more.

I use Bravenet to host my podcast's home page. There are free and payed hosting options and a whole bunch of tools such as a guestbook, blog, FAQ page, Contact forms, and more. Don't know how it would handle games though, if you have HTML for them you could probably copy it on to a age yu designate.

Try www.freewebs.com the hosting is free. But like for extra stuff, I think you have to pay for it. I have an account wiht free webs.

o dear, 2 really rubbish hosting companies mensioned in this topic so far.
Could you post how much space you need? I for one could probly point you in the direction of a host, and some people do have servers on here, or atleast shared hosting accounts, so if you really nice...
BEN.

Hi.
For space, I really can't say at the moment, probably about 30 or so mb probably, but maybe a little less. That's just an estimation right at the moment.
All of my games are about 1 to 3 megs in size when I finnish with them.
I also want a host that lets people download them a good bit if anyone wants them. Ripway only gives 10 meg a day of transfer usage.
The space on it was good, though.
Thanks for all the suggestions, and hope I can find a good one soon.
Bryan
