I was skeptical at first, and so I did a lot of looking
into this. It seems to be legit. If you have your own domain
name you don't have to transfer it over, just point it to
their servers.

This is a HUGE deal. Totally freaking free.

Free hosting!

The catch: You have to answer a phone call to get a pin
number.

Solution: Use a pay phone or a phone you don't use

You never have to enter credit card information!!

Make sure to set your max chargable amount to 1.00 just in
case somebody hotlinks your site, you can do this in the
control panel

If you need to get a domain name check out Rackshack
which will do it for 7 bucks or Namecheap which is 9

Oh, and deal expires on January 14th, so you have two weeks
to jump on this

still skeptical, but it doesn't matter i already have
hosting :)

It's free, if you have any questions I'll answer... this is
a very well established company breaking into the American
market trying to get customer base

Looks good but I have no clue about this sort of thing
either??

Would this be a good solution for just an artist page with
some music on etc or should I just stick to free hosting
sites like Wire.fm etc?

How long would it take to get it up & running (taking into
account I know nothing)

Would it need constant upkeep?

Very good for artist hosting

You just need to put up a very basic web page and upload
your files, put up links to them, and you're done (sort of
like my current homepage)

Or you could just set it up as an ftp site and do the same
thing

The tech support is good, most questions are answered, and
it's really not that hard to get it up and running,
especially if you know basic HTML

I'd be willing to answer questions or direct you to a good
place to look

I don't know HTML & what is a ftp site?

I would really appreciate some help with this, I'll have a
look at some sites if you post up the links, cheers Sanguine

Check out Webmonkey too

It will take you a while to understand how to do everything,
but it will be worth it in the end I think. It's not really
hard to learn

did you read the fine print, after 3 years it gets pretty
costly. 500mg/5gig transfer is okay for a single artist who
just wants to host his tracks, but for my label, I have 1gig
of space, 50gigs transfer for 10 bucks a month, which is a
wicked deal. I'm using milescape like spoonz. And if you are
putting a ton of stuff on your site (like an album a month)
1gig will get filled up pretty quick.

Definitly, if you're going to be getting a lot of hits
you'll need more transfer and it isn't a good deal.

But if you're just hosting something basic, you really can't
beat it
