I need a place that offers free hosting. Any ideas?

An index page of a large number of free hosting offers can be found at:
Freewebspace.net


Other places we know of who offer free hosting include:
Geocities
Tripod
Angelfire


Most of the free sites have pop-up ads, which I'd like to avoid. Do you know of low-cost hosts?

Wed recommend researching this matter thoroughly. There are many excellent Internet hosting providers who offer low-cost packages that can be increased in size and services over time. Some fansites are self-financed, others accept donations, and others still look into advertiser support for funding.


If I find an advertiser, does ArenaNet get involved in the financial deal in any way?

No, we sure don't. Any arrangement you make with an advertiser or advertisers is your business (as long as they are not adult sites or others barred by our Fansite Program Rules). If you want to do a hobby site and dont need advertiser support at all, thats just fine. If you want to make just a bit through advertiser support perhaps enough to purchase better tools for building your site, thats your business, too. And if you can make a fantastic profit off your fansite, and start flying private jets to all the posh resorts, were delighted to hear it. (Can we come, too?


Can I get hosting directly from ArenaNet?

At this point, we cannot offer fansite hosting on our servers. We will be offering guild support as a fully-integrated feature of the game, but independent fansites intended to reach the broader public need to investigate their own hosting and server space. With so many free and low-cost sources for hosting, we believe its possible for fansites to operate for little or no money, and of course you are free to investigate advertiser support of all kinds.


Is there a way I can get exclusive material that is released to my fansite only?

We have set up the Guild Wars Community Fansite Program and qualifying fansites will be granted exclusive materials from time to time. Of course, most of our releases will be prioritized towards gaming media outlets such as gamer magazines and major game sites as well as non-gaming press outlets such as newspapers, magazines and television.


What font do you use for the Guild Wars logo?

It is a custom designed font, and cannot be provided as a useable font for fansites.


Can I use the art from your official site on my fansite?

We have a Fansite Kit for your use, but the use of anything outside of items offered in the kit requires approval by ArenaNet. For instance, our navigation bar, borders, customized game images, or section headings are intended for use exclusively on the official Guild Wars site.
