Looking For a Free Host
My paid hosting plan will be up on 20th Nov, and I'm broke right now. I'm looking for a free webhost that hosts domains, and it will transfer all the files over. I need around 35 megs of space, and CGI.

Check out http://www.freewebspace.net and use the search feature to find a host that fits your needs. Then you can read reviews on that host. By the way, welcome back jackchen, hopefully you can again become a regular member!

Yes, I'll be coming back to TWF more often. Recently, I was having my final year examinations so I couldn't visit TWF.

Welcome back jackchen!!!
Regarding your question, it's quite difficult to find a host that offer free hosting assuming you have a domain name.
Most probably you can get sub-domain where there are plenty around.
I came across one that will host your domain name with only a link to their site(no banner), off-hand I can't remember the url. I will email you should I come across it again.
I would suggest the following:
1)Use a redirect service for your domain such as http://www.domainredirect.com to your free space. They also provide DNS(nameservers) for your domain.
2)Register with http://www.netcolony.com which offers 100mb, cgi-bin, ftp and many more or http://www.50megs.com which also offer similar features.
Hope this helps
Regards,
NSS

Here's an idea: Can you transfer your domain name to a domain management service, setup a free page somewhere then set the name server to point your TLD to the free service's URL for your page? IOW your TLD name will be a pointer to the free service's URL.
Still sounds like a lot of work though.

Jackchen, your back! I've missed you.
http://www.hypermart.net is a good free web host, not sure if they will transfer your stuff for free though..

I gotta agree with hypermart
I have 2 domains there...
Good support and all
File-transferring shouldn't be too hard.
Good luck with your new domain
