Free/cheap host for just a single splash page? - HTML Forums

JohnnyScience · 11-01-2009, 05:34 PM

Hello, I am trying to hose just a single splash page with a background image, a logo & a couple of links.

I only need this free/cheap hosting for 1-2 months.

Any ideas who would work for this?

I'd prefer free.

There may be a lot of traffic at some point to the splash page, but the only thing they will be able to do from that page is email or go to the myspace page.

So I dont think I need a lot of disc space, but not sure how the bandwidth will be used since there techincally isnt anything there but a logo and a couple of links?

No nudity will be on this particular splash page, so I assume I can host the file(s) any where.

Hello Johnny,
For no more space than you will need for such a site, you can pretty much go with any basic plan from any host and will not have any issues.
If you are interested, my company is running a special where you get 50% off for the first 6 months. Our normal price for basic hosting is 5.95 monthly. If you will use the promo code 6Months when you checkout, the price will be less than 3 dollars a month.
Basic Hosting is going to give you:
# 2000 MB Disk Space
# 10000 MB Bandwidth Monthly
# 5 FTP Accounts
# 5 e-mail accounts
# 5 MySql Databases
# 5 Sub Domains
# 5 Add On Domains

The problem that I see is getting the domain name pointed to the right servers. You'll need to have that for the splash page and then later on, for the complete site.

Pegasus is right in her post above. You are going to need to update your DNS with your registrar when you arrange hosting. Depending on who the domain name is registered with, you are going to need to know the nameservers and most likely the IP address of the server.
