Setting up a website help
I need to set up a website, except I don't know any free hosting websites that allow me to import my own HTML files. I tried weebly, except it didn't work. Copying the HTML files along with the javascript just put up a blank page (it worked on my localhost).
1freehosting is just confusing and requires me to have it in a zip file, in which I don't know how to do (considering it's just two files).
Any suggestions on other hosting sites, or how to put in my own HTML into the already stated sites?

Re: Setting up a website help
Many people recommend 000WebHost and 1FreeHosting, but it sometimes cancels accounts for no reason (so be sure to make backups if you use them!).
x10 Hosting is ok, but sites can be down sometimes.
For free hosting, there aren't a huge amount of good options.

Re: Setting up a website help
Try dropbox. It's the simplest, but you can't use PHP (not a problem if you just want to use HTML).
000webhost lets you use PHP, MySQL and HTML as well as JS (obviously).
Dropbox is simple and easy to setup, but 000webhost will give you a domain name.
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!

Thanks!
I just set it up on 000webhost, and it works amazing!
Now to finish the website...

If you're on a mac, I recommend CyberDuck for FTP uploading. The web based file manager on 000 is a joke.
Btw, this is Max from the scratch 2.0 chatroom when we had a discussion about multiplayer

No, 000webhost is a joke. They take down your entire website for "review" and never put it back up, sometimes.
What jvvg said about x10hosting is not entirely true, when it was used for Mod Share, the MySQL servers and Web Servers were not working very well.
