Title: Mac Garden offers free web hosting - Geocities style :-)
Post by: Bolkonskij on April 02, 2020, 02:06:13 AM
Don't know if you guys saw this one before, but apparently the Mac Garden now offers free web hosting for Mac related projects (http://home.macintosh.garden/).

Tried it and it works fairly well. (check out my site (http://home.macintosh.garden/~bolkonskij/) on my Macs :D ). You can do it all on OS9 - or even older machines for that matter. All you need is BBedit (if you know HTML - otherwise something like Adobe Pagemill 3.0) and an FTP program like Transmit to set up your own website Geocities 90s style ;-)

Doesn't have to be a website though. From what I saw some folks also use it as sort of a file server.

Haven't seen this one mentioned around here so I thought I'd point it out for those of you interested. Might be a great playground to try out some ideas before signing up with one of the bigger hosts.

Hmm... anyone feeling like creating a Classilla-compatible archive of great wallpapers and textures for our machines? ;-)
