I need advice... I've built websites before but I'm trying to build a good one for my music. Right now I've got a Geocities (sic) site that I link to through .tk (www.jackmaisiejr.tk).

Geocities sucks; I'll admit that. So I can't upload my music onto Geocities. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for free FTP sites I could use to upload my music.

Also, if you know of any free website hosts with minimal popup or banner ads, let me know. Because again, Geocities sucks.

Thanks,
Jack

for my site, I use geocities, but it doenst bother me that bad...

Anyway, for a host for music, i use http://www.soundclick.com to upload mine.

For a host though, I dont know about cheap, but http://www.hostbaby.com gives you a ton of stuff for 10 dollars a year and 20 a month.

Hi Maisie.

Try using two sites. I would say definetley go with FREEWEBS, and use something like Tripod which, I think you can store 25 megs of tunes on, and just link from your Freewebs site.

Just an idea.

I like the fact that UBW give you all the stats on who downloaded, when etc...+ they give the option to stream audio at low quality for the many without a fast internet connection. I reckon a UBW link hidden behind your song name is the coup. Unless you are an internet wizard and sneer at my ignorance...in which case I am truly sorry your eminance. Please don't ping pong flame scuzzle me. I meant not to upset thee. Wink

I know this topic is old but www.netcolony.con doesn't have any pop-ups or banners. But you can't upload music.
