it will depend on what kind of site you want to make. If you want to make a personal site..than go for it. And I will recommend wordpress over bloggers.

If you want to have more options with your website, than you can go for CMS like joomla, Drupal. (I recommend Drupal)

110mb.com is good free reliable host except few limitations like SMTP off.

why not spend few bucks and get a tension free reliable hosting, will hardly cost maximum rs. 500/- per year.

Hmmm...tht seem like quite a few damn good options.

Well, now tht thing tackled, I am also quite interested in adding those extra cool elements some of the websites have, like the link preview functionality,rolling menus(mostly javascript stuff), but i did like some sites which let u add this stuff without much hassles.

Any thoughts?

All will depend on your site script. If you dont know any script..but want them on your site, than go for blogging script or CMS. They have lots of cool Addons to offer.

Well, I meant the ones like in where u just hve to insert the code in ur html code and they work.

Btw speaking of free domain names, one of my friends suggested me www.freedomains.co.nr where u get a free .co.nr extension.

Are there ne other similar options out there??

Any reasons? I am experimenting with CMS and I have heard a lot about Joomla. Not as much about Drupal.

I tested almost all free CMS, and finally settled with drupal. It is easy to learn and customize with lots of modules. Only thing it lacks is some cool themes.


I have made most of mine site either in drupal or wordpress.

Cool then! No harm trying that too. Any specific difference between Drupal & Joomla though?

Not much.......
Drupal has a block system, which lets you put anything at any place. You can even assign on which pages that block should be shown, and what user can see. This make Drupal's all themes adsense ready
