    I have a .net domain, i need free hosting for it. What services should I use? I need a couple of gigs of space(at least 3) and a couple of gigs of bandwith(at least 50). I need wordpress to work on it.

    Also i have another question: how do i set my website that if my primary hosting fails working, it will automatically switch to another hosting that I have, and show a page like : "We are sorry this website is in maintenance"?

    No free host would give you 3GB space, at max you may get is 250 MB at pubwebhost.com

    For 3GB or above space - suggest you opt for paid webhosting. Free hosting is not reliable to hold data worth 3GB, one crash - and you are done :(

    Free host especially when you need php and mysql is really bad idea...

    If you are going to need so much disk space and bandwidth, you should be prepared to pay for it. Those things do not come cheap and free usually just gives you a lot of limitations.

    There are a lot of cheap web hosts around which you should be able to afford. Just give up a packet or two of fries a weeks and you would be able to afford it.

    I hadn't noticed OP said 3 GB...I thought it was just GB.
    Yes, I agree with many of the posts...if you need that much free space,
    you're better off searching for reliable paid hosting.
