Free Webspace

There are a number of places on the internet where you can upload your GEDCOM files to share your family tree research. Of course, Ancestry, My Family, and its RootsWeb World Connect are three of the most popular on the net. There are others! This site is hosted by several free internet webspace providers. One of those is 100webspace.net. They have much to offer including FTP access. The Genealogy Box on 100webspace.net offers a forum. You can even host your own Word Press blog on 100webspace.net. Webs.com also offers a free website with an easy online creator, memberships, communities, webrings, and forums. Angelfire, and Tripod are a few of the other sites that offer cgi for mail forms, but they do not offer free FTP access. Fortune City and Top Cites offer free FTP, but there are many adverstisments. 100webspace.net is one of my favorites that offer applications like WordPress, databases, and more. WebRing.com has recently offered FREE Webspace and blog, too. If you have a Geocities site or even a FortuneCity or Angelfire website, you may have your site transferred for free to WebRing.com. WebRing is offering free ad-free webspace and blogs. There is even a WebRing.com site, Genealogy Webspaces on WebRing.com. CWahi.Net is another free web hosting provider as is WebNG. WebNG offers applications like Joomla, WordPress and PhpBB forums. You may gain more webspace on WebNG through referrals. There is also a new free web hosting provider, X10hosting. This site is well worth a look. X10hosting offers FTP, PHP, MySQL, Email, and a host of other applications. The Genealogy Box Joomla is hosted on X10hosting.com. Freewebsites offers FTP access, and a choice of domain, but they do not offer an online HTML editor, php or cgi.

I have previously recommended OurFamily.com - Not any longer. The Ourfamily.com domain is no longer operated by MySite.com or Freeservers.com both under United Online. The domain ourfamily.com was "cleaned" and "deleted" without ANY notice to its free webspace subscribers. I cannot suggest nor recommend MySite.com or Freeservers.com for this reason. If you had a website on ourfamily.com AND an email from your domain, you may still be able to glean your contacts from your online email at this domain. The last time I checked my email on ourfamily.com, it still worked. The rest of my site was deleted and redirected to GoDaddy.com.
