Can someone recommend some FREE Web Hosts that are safe and I could use just to debug my website?
In the old days, I think you could use Hotmail to do that, but who knows in 2011?!
Thanks,
Debbie
Debug how? What language? What editor are you using to code?
If it just uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript then you don’t need web hosting to debug it.
If you are using a server side language then the best option is to install your own web server with that language on your own computer - it will make future testing much easier.
No no…
I am looking for free web-hosting so I can upload my gazillion HTML and CSS files and have a (semi) working website so you guys can help me de-bug my HTML and CSS (versus making 10 posts in order to fit all of my code on one thread)!!
In the good ol days I could have used Geocities.

I dont think many people would sift through an entire website unless you helped ($$$$) out some. If you have quirks in a template pastebin may do…
The validators do that for you.
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
There are options there to allow you to either upload the file to be validated or to just paste the code to be validated.
Of course if you prefer to have someone else debug all your HTML and CSS for you then searching one of the sites where web designers advertise to look for one whose charges don’t exceed your budget is the best option.
If getting a webpage to work was as easy as using a validator, then SitePoint wouldn’t exist!
No need to be sarcastic or whatever it is that you’re trying to do.

Getting your page to pass the validator is one of the steps. The other main step is to learn HTML and CSS so that you know what the commands do.
That should take care of 99%+ of your issues with getting your web pages to work. Then when you have A SPECIFIC PROBLEM with a web page you come to somewhere like SitePoint to ask for help with solving that problem.
If you want someone else to debug your “gazillion HTML and CSS files” you will have to hire someone to do that for you - or don’t you believe in money and expect people to do thousands of dollars of work for you and have them get nothing in return.
SitePoint is not the somewhere to ask for help in debugging “gazillion HTML and CSS files” - sites where you can employ web designers exist for that purpose. SitePoint is somewhere to ask for help with specific individual problems that you can’t solve even though you have already learnt HTML and CSS and validated your pages.
No one responding to your requests is trying to be remotely sarcastic (unless you are in trying to suggest that others should do work for you for nothing).
I do not know exactly which web host will be able to help you but I recommend you have a look at freewebspace.net - that is belived the best free web hosting guide.
I’ll disagree with Stephen slightly. We will probably say you will probably want to adopt a CMS of some sort. We would probably help you figure out how to rip the content out, and insert it into a database. We also would probably help you get the template situated.
I never said that people on the forum wouldn’t provide that help. That is entirely different from what I was talking about.
In any case it appears that the OP only really needs somewhere to upload one of the pages in order to get assistance with a specific problem with the CSS and all the mentions of the complete site are just resulting in duscussions of totally unrelated issues.
