Free domain? Lol, good luck in finding one ;) I'd suggest you go with .INFO domains, you can find some registrar that sell you one for only $0.99.

And I never heard of frihost.

Chinmoy, please reconsider your decision. You should really try and find non free hosting, and non free domain name, because its much, much better, and cheap too.

I agree. Before I used to run from free host to another, every free host either had too much restrictions, or the site is always down, or little space etc.... now I started paying for hosting and it was a very good idea, costs me only a few bucks monthly but it's worth it.

I host with toastedpenguin.com btw.

Server Intellectis a great web hosting company. We have been extremely happy with its services. They can help you with everything you need, as to web hosting. They were one of the first Windows Web Hosts and Microsoft Gold Certified Partners to offer Windows Server 2008 'Longhorn' on all Dedicated Servers, with the most substantial upgrade since Windows 2000. The upgrades have been very beneficial to our business.

I strongly advice against Windows web hosts. PHP works horrible with it (using IIS or Apache), they are unreliable and difficult for end users (clients) to manager their own web space.

It's actually free, but you don't get the free domain name. You can still access your blog from a URL, but it isn't as intuitive as a real domain name.

Well if you want the real thing you gotta invest, that's all I can say. A few bucks will not hurt you.. at first I wanted anything for free.. for example today I just spent like $19.55 for 2 domains (renewal for another year) but I'm quite happy with them.. they render much more than that. So if want to do something.. just do it good!

1&1 Hosting is very cheap, though I have never used it myself. I have just relized that they are doing a limited time special offer for a free three months of hosting. Check out this page, 1&1 Internet Inc.

linode seems pretty stable. Cost depends upon bandwidth and storage.

As Jordan said, PHP is a bit of flakey.
