I remember seeing one in a magazine a couple of years ago. Something like 3 years free using a .edu domain name.

Hostgator Complaints
No web hosting service is perfect. Some complaints about Hostgator plans include:
- No free domain name included – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
- You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost. It is like they say, you get what you pay for.
If you are still not sure if HG is right for you, or you have specific query about anything at all, try the Live Chat at HG. They are fast and knowledgeable. Just ask and you shall receive.

.edu domains are handled by educational organizations, like colleges and universities. The only way to get a yourname.edu domain would be to create your own school and use it, as the .edu TLD is restricted.
If you’re currently attending college or a university, chances are that they offer some free hosting (your "site" will be something like schooname.edu/~yourname). Check up with your school’s staff to see what they can offer for you.

I own a web hosting company, eVentureBiz.
I’d be willing to give you a 30% student discount for 1 year web hosting. Basically it would work out to $58.38 for the year (= $4.87/mo rate).

I would not choose free web hosts as they are not reliable and once I used free host, but all my data lost and they didn’t have back up and I had to do all over again, very frustrating.
If you look for web hosting, don’t rush into it. Read reviews about web hosting and decide properly before going ahead with web hosting.
I personally will recommend you a web hosting which many people find it very reliable. It is hostmonster.
Before deciding to sign up hostmonster, read the reviews and stats about hostmonster at the following website.

If you are serious about websites either for personal or your business, don’t go to free web hosting as they are usually not reliable and you may end up losing all your hard work. Free web hosts usually put advertisements on your websites and it could be annoying.
If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months’ time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account.
I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.
