=====================================
Way back in the nice old days of the Net
(mid to late
'Nineties), you could find all sorts of free "stuff"
online.
Everything from website hosting and email, to computer code and
long distance phone calls came free of charge.
Some of the free services survived, spell others used their
venture capital to pay for the mansions and yachts of their
CEO's and then closed up shop inside
a few months - effort
investors high and dry.
A few free services still exist on the 'Net in today's much
realistic dot-com economy and now rates as nice time as
any to take a closer look.
** Free Email **
Log on to HotMail.com and get yourself a free email account
you can access from anyplace
on the planet you can find an
Internet connection.
HotMail.com and http://mail.Yahoo.com (with doubly the free
storage space of HotMail) rate as two of the most
successful and long-lived no cost services left over from
the "free" glory days of a few years ago.
** Free File Storage **
http://briefcase.Yahoo.com still ranks as the number 1 free
remote file storage service on the Internet.
Store up to 30 MB of files remotely for access and sharing
from any Net
connection anyplace
in the world.
Instead of lugging floppy disks about between office,
home, and laptop, you can store them online in your own
password-protected case
on the Yahoo high-speed
servers.
A great way to back up and share files worldwide.
** Free Website Hosting **
Tripod.com allows you to set up your own website utterly
free.
They keep their service with third party banner ads at
the top of every page you display.
A great way to get started, but any serious businessperson
will eventually want to get their own low-cost hosting
account cost accounting
as little as $5 a month.
DotEasy.com presents an superior
alternative to Tripod.com
if you want your own domain name and a year's hosting for
only $25 a year.
Other free hosting services include: GeoCities.com,
gurlpages.com, and myfamily.com.
** Free Computer code **
Freeware and shareware, two route computer code developers
distribute their creations, either in a "try before you
buy" mode, or as truly free software.
Many developers about the earth create computer code for their
own personal use but, lacking a large purchasing market or the
skills to sell the software, several of them simply give it away
or sell it for a nominal fee after you try it.
If you cognize wherever
to look, you can get everything from
graphics programs and website builders, to FTP programs and
recipe books.
Log on to Download.com and Zdnet.com for two of the most
popular places online to find computer code before paying full
retail.
NOTE: do sure your anti-virus program is up-to-date and
backup all your important files before commencement any
software.
Free stuff online wish ne'er
disappear because, once
appropriate, it represents the perfect way to start and
develop a relationship with customers. Unfortunately, the
"boom" days of the truly free online "lunch" seem gone
forever. Sigh.
