Kind of an odd favour to ask...
Alright, long story short I have portfolio interviews on the 16th, which caught me off guard, and would pretty much have to get my website up by then, actually by Monday. However, my brother's credit card is maxed out, and I don't have time to futz around with cheques or money-orders.

So, my question is: would someone, in theory, be willing to put up about $10-15 through a credit card to pay for very basic hosting and/or domain registration, as basic and cheap as possible, with the solemn promise that the money would be payed back in a very timely fashion accompanied by me eternal thanks.

Or, if that's not possible, would some kind soul with an existing domain (penguinbomb, swooh etc) be willing to host my stuff (in the root dir, so as to look legit) for about 2 days, between Monday the 14th and Wednsday the 16th.

Nothing definite yet, I still have to examine some other option, but considering its Firday, and it needs to be up by Monday, I just thought I'de throw it out there, just to be safe, and see what happens.

[or if someone knows where to register free domain names, I know there was something like this a while back, that would be perfect]
-hmm .tk is giving away free domain redirection. Interesting.-

The problem isn't the money Bob, I can get that in about 10 minutes. The problem is the credit card, or lack of a credit card actually. Though thanks for the thought, its nice to see that there are indeed decent people in the world.

Setekh: Just any sort of domain. Something that will look more or less professional (as opposed to hosting it on, for example, the free FTP space my ISP provides). I might go with the .tk domain, which is being offered for free by some small island nation as a way of boosting public awareness, and just have it redirect to wherever (the space isn't the problem, I can host the files in a number of places)..

I'll do one better, I'll host you if you want! :D PM if you're interested and if so what you'll be wanting by way of space.


[edit] and I have a domain that could be used if wanted/need be. :)

Thanks for the kind offers guys. In the end, I went with the .tk domain,  just to make life a little simpler, and will probably be getting a real hosting/domain solution in the near future. And now the mad rush to get everything done in time begins in earnest.
