Publishing Your Site For Free You've made yourself a site to be proud of, but how and where to strut your stuff? Finding free hosting is relatively simple, though the host will more than likely want you to advertise for him in exchange for his services. Besides a hosting service, you'll need file transfer software to get your files to the server. Then, once on the Web, you'll want to submit your site to the search engines to let the world know you're here.
