    (From: http://www.irishwebmasterforum.com )

    If you have an email with any irish college / uni , - have a look at this:

    Digiwebs exclusive hosting offer to students ! Free Website + Hosting package

    The Good:

    - It's Free!
    - 2 Gigs webspace
    - 15 Gigs transfer
    - PHP, MySQL, the usual.. - don't know how many SQL DBs you get. Most likely 1
    - .com /.net /.org domain free for 1 year (i think you can change nameservers though).


    The Bad:

    - Only lasts a year, but should be enough time to establish a good site if you have the time.
    - You can only host 1 domain. blah.
    - No commercial stuff. (don't know about ads?)
    - Probably crappy overloaded servers
    - They can cancel everything with 3 months notice...
    - All your terms are belong to Digiweb

    Someone may want to put a link to this in one of the college/uni forums...

    you can always find a student that has no interest in a domain etc and ask them to register for you...

    A year down the line, you'd need to be able to access the registration email account for renewing the domain.

    Maybe best to leave it to students :)
