[studio:cmd]

wha?

title to get you in here is all.

listen, have searched thru some of the threads looking for the answer, but do you have any clue how many are archived?

am teaching a web design class next week, and want to start these people off on the right foot. Meaning? well, lets worry about aestetics and design and building a portfolio, BEFORE we worry about going whoo hoo with code....

so, need to know of free hosting, bannerless. I realize there's beer.com and lycos and geocities and tripod and blah blah blah blah....

but I want these people to be able to build an online portfolio of all their knoweldge to be able to present to employers when they are finished their education...

so, a bannerless hosting site that will support html, java, flash and all that there - would be appreciated.

c'monm people

We're in Canada, so it needs to be easily accessible from here if possible.

I use http://www.tbns.net they've worked pretty great thus far and are fully banner free- however there's no ftp or cgi support.

20 megs of ad free web space

Easy to use file manager

Fast, secure, & easy to maintain


* There is no FTP or CGI Support at this time.

I had been using http://www.crosswinds.net but they just added banners unfortunately.

Good luck in your search
