Can anyone recommend free web hosting for my domain name?

Thanks
 
the only way to do that is to direct the domain name to your own mac server, wich is unreliable because when ur computer is off, on standby, logged off, ext you cant get to your site.
 
Check out this site. Can't recommend one because I don't know what it is you're going to be doing with you website.
Do you need massive storage? Massive bandwith? FTP? Shopping carts? ...

EDIT:Have you already bought and registered a domain name?

Yeah ive already got the domain name!
 
I doubt you'll find quality hosting for free. I've heard 1and1.com is a good choice, and it's not too expensive.
 
Free hosting and quality hosting arent often used together in the same sentence, id reccomend going somewhere cheap such as www.surreal-media.com , they are a great host and you can get it ridiculously cheap ($2 a month i think), but if you really want free here is a couple of post i picked up from another forum (t-warez.com) :-
