    Hi all, I play an online game in which there is a lot of people working as a team. There are a lot of tips and tricks that can't be explained easily through the ingame chat. Some players use LINE, others use WhatsApp, others... and it is complicated to make all those tips easily available for all. I don't know the players... so I don't know if a google drive link to a PDF file is a real option for all... Would it be possible to get a domain for free, make a small web page that store the information and send them the link? If you had to do this... how would you do it? Thank you all!

      There are lots of "free hosting services" most of which will register a domain for you also for free. But ... you get what you pay for (or more usually less than you pay for); bandwidth, storage, even uptime are ... um ... generally poor, and tech support is often at a premium rate (Hey! They have to make money somewhere, right?) Google will f9ind you lots, but this may help: The 7 Best Free Web Hosting Options in 2020 | hostingfacts.com[^] Have you considered a Facebook Group[^] on the basis that Farcebok must be useful for something?

        Isn't there a forum where you can post them? Post it on the (official) forum and then just give them the link to the forum post.

                For me it would depend on whether I wanted a static page that I maintain or an interactive page with discussion and commentary. For the former, I would go with a google-hosted page and for the latter I would find a blogging site. Google might have those too but I don't know.

                  In the morning at the mid-point of my journey, I'm half-way to work. In the evening, at exactly the same location, I'm half way home. I think a glass that was half empty would be far more fun!

                    I wouldn't recommend committing to a free web-site, because I've yet to see one that provides value for money (not a joke), but you can set up a a blog on wordpress.com or blogger.com for free, and they're both stable, useful platforms. If you don't want the hassle of learning new tools that you won't use for any other purpose, though, you can do a docx (not doc) or pdf file, and share it through Dropbox.

                      read GAME, so first thing that comes to mind is Discord, I have only really used it for voice chat, but would not be surprised if not had file and wiki sections. (benifit is has a web page interface so no need to download and install yet another app) MS Teams has a wiki section - so i assume Slack has a similar.

                        I use Discord myself for a game I play. The groups I got invited to had plenty of different staff. The app logs the chats and you get a "last connected" delta when you come back. You have privileges management, private chat, voice chat, configurable bots to show different things, Interaction with Youtube and GIFs... About file sharing... I can't tell, but I can check. Anyways is not difficult to use dropbox and put the link there for others to download.

                        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                          You could create a private, invitation-only Facebook Group and post document(s) there. I know many are Facebook-averse. But it is an option.

                              Put it up on Dropbox, and share a web-based link to it.
