Set Up a Website For Free!

Well, sort of. If you have a Mac, and if you have iLife, you have iWeb. Most of you have probably at least opened up iWeb to see what it was all about, and maybe you’ve even created a website, but don’t have anywhere to host it.

Steven Sande, over at TUAW, has written an interesting article to get you over that last hurdle – hosting. You can have a website, out on the Internet where everybody can see it, for free. That’s right – free hosting. The host? Dropbox.

Dropbox is a tool built to sync files between computers by using a central repository. A client loaded on each PC/Mac/whatever will keep those files synchronized. So how do you use it for hosting? You can get a public link to a file, say, index.html, and send that out.

It isn’t pretty, but it’s free, and is perfect for sharing stuff on a web page between family and friends.

You can find the article, with step-by-step instructions, here.
