Free Web Hosting
Free hosting that is easy to set up and use.
Another one I have used for years. Reliable and no fuss.
infinityfree.com - Free Web Hosting with PHP and MySQL
[ edit Apr 2024 ] This one has changed and now only gives you 12 months of free hosting after which you have to upgrade to a paid plan - so I will leave this here for a while and then delete.
A long-standing free website provider. Has paid plans if you want to upgrade but free is adequate for most small sites.
Most free hosts will not let you use your own domain without paying for a hosting plan but 000webhost does. They provide good instructions on how to do it as well.
Their documentation is good and they don't deluge you with spam, just necessary update messages from time to time.

Googiehost.com - Free Web Hosting - easy and quick.
23 years, and my site is still there! I completely forgot about it for at least 20 years and then found a reference to it on an old drive I was checking. I was amazed to find the site still up and running.

Paid Web Hosting
Web Hosts that are not part of the Big Tech conglomerates - personal service and easy to find out what it really costs.
I am biased… This is our own hosting venture to support our charity projects. But we only deal in Bitcoin, so the other ones listed here will be better for you unless you have Bitcoin!
Satoshi Host - Bitcoin and Lightning Hosting
CrownCloud has very good prices and reliable, efficient support. They have a large range of services available to suit pretty much any requirement.
The site is easy to use, as is the ordering system. You can be up and running in minutes.

CrownCloud - VPSes, Dedicated Servers and Colocation services!
We use this one because they have some outstanding VPS deals.
Service and support is most important with a VPS, and Ethernet Servers has been consistently quick to respond and knowledgeable.
The servers we have are all thoroughly reliable and better resourced than most for similar price ranges. When the inevitable outages happen (like, one time the datacenter some of the servers were in had a complete power outage), the owner keeps us we...

Despite being a “cheap” host, the service was better than the more expensive ones I have used in the past. They responded quickly and I was never made to feel like I was opening too many tickets, though I probably was…

Easily build interactive tutorials for your site users. If there's anything that needs more than a couple of sentences to guide how to use it, then this might be a better way.
A personal account is free. Go to “More” in the top menu, then select “Resources,” and then follow the YouTube link—that's the best way to see how it works.
It's basically a tool that can record your steps as you go through something on your site (or anywhere, if you use the app), and then you can annotate it with text and audio too if you like. There's even text-to-speech if you don't want to use your o...
