Sorry if their's a similar thread (I did a search) but I'm currently thinking about making a website but i don't really know much about domain names or even about hosting. Can anyone name some good free domains and/or hosts as this would be much appreciated.

Hey will909,

There aren't really any good free domain names out there, its probably worth buying one. I personally use Godaddy.com (their signup process is a little frustrating for the first time, but once you've signed up it's a lot easier to buy more domains and such after the initial signup process), but recently used MyDomain.com and have found them very good also.

Hosting wise, there are a couple of decent hosts out there. I know the guy who runs a website superfreehost.info, I recommend signing up with him - his hosting is advert funded (as are a lot of free hosts) but if you ask him nicely and tell him you know me (just say you know/were told about it sam hulse) he'll take them off (might ask you for a one off payment of $1 for it, but it's better than paying £5 a month or more.) There are a couple of other free hosts that might be worth a look at 110mb.com, or a quick google should find you a couple of others.

Hope that helps.
