is this right move?, hosting Options

[xtsk]

well there's a website called orangesarecool.com
they host for free only for fan site's
but i dont want to make a fan site
i want to make a website for myself
they told me to make a layout and code a layout with advertisement.
then if they like my layout for a fansite
they would give me host but without my credit of what i made
i dont think its fair?
and there asking how much disk space/bandwidth i need but i never
own a website.
what do yall guys think?
any help here? really need help?
what a reasonable disk space/bandwidth i need?
im doing kinda of blog with videos.
thanks.

i'm not sure i understand what you mean by not giving you credit. if you're making a layout for yourself, no one needs to give you credit, because you did it for yourself.

i wouldn't get to teary eyed over this place, though. it's nothing amazing. there are plenty of free hosts out there (that allow you to host any type of site--not just a fan site) that don't require advertisements. usually all they ask for is a link back to their site.

as for the space & bandwidth, do you plan on hosting the videos on your site, or just putting on a youtube code? how popular do you plan on making it? if you're hosting the videos elsewhere (like on youtube), then you don't need very much at all. text takes up very little space, and you can fit a well-developed blog in less than 100MB. most blogs, even semi-popular ones, don't use much more than 100GB or so of bandwidth. if you're just starting out, you'll need much, much less than that.
