The big news is that I found a truly free webhost this Saturday. The company is called 1and1 and I think for now, the offer is limited to US and Canada residents only. This is not free for life, but for 3 years and offers 500MB of disk space, 5GB of monthly data transfer rate, one MySQL database, CGI/Perl and pretty much everything a regular hosting account offers. I read about this in eWeek and tried to sign up and it seemed to work.
Not one to leave a free offer unused, I have started a photolog there and I think I will also make a backup of this blog there in case Hosting Matters goes down again. Anyways, here is the link to my photolog - http://www.dancingwithdogs.com/photolog/ - Enjoy!

Good for you, Wolf! I think they even have some great rates on domains - atleast they are cheaper than other places I have seen them at :)

Do you have to commit for anytime beyond the free three years and wat abt the “fine print” ?? If none!, its just seems too good to be true!

I think you can cancel anytime you would like, Raj. They didn’t even take any credit card numbers, so I am not sure they can charge me for anything if I decide to opt out.
I thought it was too good to be true too, which is why I signed up (I know it is kinda backwards) to check it out. So far, no problems.

Good for you, IA - it is an ioncredible believe and I still cannot believe they are giving it away for 3 years.
