How to make a page...

I want to make my own site to put my AMVs on. Does anyone know where I can make a free one? Geocites maybe? Is this even the right place to ask this?

google "HTML Tutorial" . Start their.

Free web hosting isnt going to be good for amv's unless you dont mind extremely low quality vids.

If you want to make it for free, you won't have enough space to host any AMVs...

Spend about $10-15 a month and get some cheap hosting with a good amount of bandwidth. If you can afford to make amv's (errr, without pirating, bootleging and breaking into computer stores) then $10 a month shouldnt be a problem.

For beginners you could get your hands on Macromedia's Dreamweaver or even Microsoft's FrontPage, both programs are D&D (drag and drop), but dreamweaver is a lot more advanced, also netscape composer is a good free one, comes with the browser (7Mg download).

You can't get free hosting with enough space to host AMV's (A low quality beta maybe, but not a full video.) What you can do is make a website and have links to your video profiles at the org (assuming they qualify to be hosted localy.) That way you can use just about any free webpage service.

Well, I guess that depends on the perspective. Angelfire allows 20 megs; I'm sure a well-done H264 or XviD encode would fit, but the resolution would probably have to be lower than standard - unless the video was only 1 to 1½ minutes long (like a trailer).

Generally, though, yes; free hosting is better for betas.

But that's for shared hosting, which will provide shitty DL speeds more often than not (compare the .org to geocities. Is there even a comparison?). Dedicated servers are much more expensive, but if you say, I don't know, join a studio you can split the cost and be much more efficient. Werd.

This is most likely the origin of the larger studios as we know them

Or you could do what I do, and use the hosting space that your university provides, sucking part of that oh-so-nice Internet2 connection.
