Hi.

Can anyone recomend a free web hosting service for a basic website please? I dont need anything flash but if it has a built in page builder that would be great.

I know theres lots via google but it would be good to use a recomendation

Thanks

Google Sites is quite popular.

http://host-ed.net/web-design-details.php (free has some limitations but will get you started)

i would upload a CMS (content management system) via ftp and then use a template to get started.

If you want to be found on google then its really worth getting a domain name. i use freeparking it

costs about £5 to register a .co.uk .Then make sure you optimise the site for search engines. there

are some good guides online.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. Google sites looks like my thing. Easy to use and I already have a gmail account etc.

Probably the best hosting company out there is TSO Host. (www.tsohost.co.uk)

£15/year for a basic package, but their support is superb and their service exceptional.

If you go with something like 1&1 with a site builder option you'll manage to make a site, but if you don't stick with them then all of your work will be lost. They use their own system which means you can't easily move your site elsewhere.

If you want something that will get you up and running without such a restriction you might like to try Wordpress. It's a CMS as mentioned above, and it fact it's probably the world's #1. TSO Host offer a 1-click install for Wordpress and with millions of free templates out there you should have no trouble producing something good.

I'd go with Wordpress for a lot of reasons.
