Free Domain Hosting
www.webjump.com

Search the Web for free hosting services, and you'll find little more than waived setup fees or a couple of months gratis. After that, the fees kick in, and you're staring at between $10 and $30 per month (at the low end of the scale) for an ISP to store your Web site.

For many businesses, that's chump change. For others, it's a waste of money. If you want to register a domain to keep others from taking it and maintain a functional site with minimal fuss, consider WebJump (www.webjump.com). The service will host up to 25MB of a Web site--more than enough for a promotional site, even with loads of graphics--either as virtual domain (yourcompany.webjump.com) or a fully qualified domain (www.yourcompany.com). Unlike other low-cost hosts, WebJump doesn't impose a so-many-megabytes-per-month data transfer cap. WebJump also provides technical support via e-mail (24-hour turnaround time), and links to sites with prefab CGI scripts for enhancing your site. Best of all, there are no setup charges or monthly fees. (Registering your domain at Network Solutions will set you back $70.)

In exchange for this service, WebJump reserves the top inch of every page on your site for a frame full of advertising. This prominent positioning is off-putting for some, but it's not objectionable, nor are any of the ads I've seen in rotation over the past few months of testing the service.

You have probably heard, at some point in your life, "There's no such thing as a free lunch." or this, "If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is."  This page explains in detail why "Free" Hosting is not free.
