http://www.webpark.cz

A freehosting server operated by Centrum. After registering, you will receive an address, http://YourName.webpark.cz, as well as www.webpark.cz/YourName. You will have 3 MB of space, access to software programs, and an automatic www template that will help you transfer your pages into HTML codes and upload it. Webpark’s specialty is providing detailed information on visitors to the website, and establishing a password for access. This server supports the placement of a visitor counter, a personal greeting, and the ability to set the date and time. You can administrate it over www interface as well as FTP protocol.

http://www.mujweb.atlas.cz/

This server is literally the grandfather of the Czech freehosting market. Today it offers 15 MB of space for free, and, of course, the tools needed for creating a site with the help of an internet browser. This service is for those who are not too demanding about the functionality and parameters of a presentation. Registration requires filling out a form and agreeing to conditions. Users must include the category of the Mujweb pages catalogue you wish to be placed in, as well as a brief description of your website. You will then receive a very long URL: www.mujweb.cz/category/yourname. One disadvantage of this server is that it is impossible to access it over FTP.

A little known webhosting server, it is the successor of www.crolink.cz.

In addition, you must register your own domain in the second level! The operator supports various tables and subjects (guest book and visitor counter), and it is possible to create surveys and use the server’s advertising system. Access is possible via FTP protocol or a browser.

http://www.sweb.cz

Another server that has reduced its free space capacity from 20 MB to 1 MB. Typical registration, and the URL format is www.sweb.cz/your_name. Pop up advertisements are rather annoying, but a positive aspect of this service is that an identical e-mail account can be linked to it. The server is very popular, so many domain names have already been taken. You can access your site over FTP and through www interface, and you can increase the size of your website at any time by paying a small fee (10 MB costs only CZK 60 per year).

word of the month:
HTML editors
– Basically, programs for creating websites. Most beginners use so-called WYSIWYG’s, with which they merely write text, copy all required pictures in this kind of document, and then save it in a file with an html suffix. The editor supplements all tags himself. There are quite a few of these simple software programs – e.g. Dreamweaver, Netscape Composer, FrontPage, etc. Even Word is capable of saving files in an html format, but the quality of the tags is debatable. An alternative is to learn the HTML programming language, like many professionals who create web presentations.
