Perhaps you meant php, not css. I can’t see how a site could not support CSS. Perhaps you need to log in with Netscape Navigator 1.

I don’t know exactly what

I don’t know exactly what part of css/perl/whatever it doesn’t support. Just that my backends wouldn’t work. But I used them for several years while my websites were still just simple flash and html. They were really great. Cheap and good customer service.

And I owned the names. Which I have since switched over to my own dedicated server.

How can you not support CSS?

How can you not support CSS? It’s essentially a file the browser reads.

wooloo.org is completely free and can be self-edited on the fly, but it’s visual material only with work captions, not blogs, I believe. Mine is.

they don’t support CSS? I’d be worried about that.

Also beware of web hosts that ’include’ domain registration. Some of them will register the domain in THEIR name, not yours, so you don’t actually own it.

doteasy.com has nice hosting

doteasy.com has nice hosting packages for around $25 a year. You get your domain name registration, email and hosting space for that (with no ads). They don’t support any of the more intense coding languages like css or anything though.

A domain will cost you

A domain will cost you around $8 per year.

Hosting can range from free to many thousands. ;o)

I’d say anywhere from a free WordPress account on up to around a $10 per month shared LAMP hosting package would likely meet your needs.

Cost in terms of what? Hiring it out? Buying software? Getting training? Hosting?
