There used to be a place or 2 that hosted muds for free, however I think they either went down or in the extreme where they actually lasted, they have so many applications there could be a long waiting list from what I recall when I looked into this about 7 years ago. Your best bet, is if you have a local ISP you could try to contact the person in charge, and try to work out an arrangment, and if you're already a customer, some isp's even offer shell access. Just make sure you run it by the systems admin. before you go and drain the servers resources, they seem to frown upon that. What I did was I called a local isp manager and said I had an advertising opprotunity, I couldn't make any guarantees to him, but I would advertise his ISP on my mud as long as he would host it amazingly he agreed, maybe I just caught him in a charitable mood, or maybe it was because he was one of my old players *shrug* Either way its worth a shot. Other than that your best bet is to go out and mow a couple of lawns and spring the 10-150 dollars a month on a host depending where you go. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
