Havenʼt you ever wanted to get your own blog or web page, but remained passive because of its costs? We at AppleLunch are happy to tell you how to get free web hosting, so you can easily start writing your own blog, and publish it. We have established a partnership with Doteasy, who we want to tell you about.
Doteasy has existed since 2000. In the same year they introduced a free web hosting plan as one of the very first, without any hidden charges, gimmicks, and without annoying banner ads. Today, Doteasy is still a premier web host, and trusted by more than 160,000 customers.
When you become a Doteasy web hosting member, you can take advantage of following tools and applications:
- forum
- website creator
- guestbook
- e-mail form
- hit counter
- web poll
- mailing list
- FAQ
- tell-a-friend
- web directory
Together with the completely free hosting service, you can choose to make use of their current promotion, which allow you to register .COM/.NET/.ORG for only USD 4.95. All you have to do is go to Doteasy.com, choose an unused domain and then just follow the instructions. To claim your discount, enter the coupon code 0910FWH when signing up.
Now you have a domain registered and we consider that you also want content. To create content, you can use e.g. iWeb which is a part of the iLife package, and soon you can read a guide to make your own web site, using iWeb, here at AppleLunch. Until then, you can use Doteasyʼs free website builder to create content to your web site.

We have recently heard many rumors that a Google product focusing on music is about be launched within short time. The first sources claimed it to be a direct iTunes competitor, however as more information is revealed, it is more likely a centralized music store system, which simply directs people to places where specific songs and albums can be purchased.
Microsoft’s tablet differs from others in some ways, since it hasn’t got any of the usual tablet OS integrations (yeah, not even Windows), but a tailored one made only for this product (so far). The PC Tablet is foldable, just as ordinary notebooks, and features a 7-inch display and is codenamed Courier.

This includes handwriting, clip and paste, copying, address book integrations and much more, everything in smooth graphics and with enabled multi-touch. In other words, the tablet is simply an advanced electronic notebook -- just with integrated address book, internet, photo sharing, camera etc. We have embedded the following video, which previews the device:
