Trying to help out few non-techie people, but I'm also interested personally...
How do you make few *static HTML* files available online for *free?*
I looked at
* Google Site -- you can't upload html file * Dropbox -- it shows you the text content of HTML files. * GitHub -- same thing.
Failing that, I'm considering
* Put the files on USB stick, and plug it into router. It has web/file server. I would have to register DDNS, though. * Set up web server on a Linux computer. But, I don't want to be "tech support".
Look at your wishlist. DDNS costs me $60/year. Hosting it out of your home, besides making you "tech support", requires DDNS. Meanwhile, the web host I use, Shockhosting.Com, has a price of $2.24/month (that's $27/year) if you pay multiple months up front. You can host one domain and get unlimited email accounts. $27/year: Just have one less Old Spaghetti Factory dinner per year, and your hosting and DNS are covered. Four less packs of cigarettes per year. Four less trips to Tim Hortons per year. 200 less kilometers of driving per year. Four less beers at a "sports bar". The price people end up paying for "free" is usually obscene, and professional web hosting is one of today's few remaining bargains. SteveT Steve Litt http://444domains.com
