It is possible to find a free web host for OOTP. But the thing is, you get what you pay for. Most free services often have downtime and no urge to fix things. Your site could go down for 3-4 days without warning. That would piss off a lot of GM's.

You could turn your PC into a web host but I would not recommend it. For starters you'd have to leave it on 24 hours a day and you'd be exposing yourself to all kinds of security issues.

Your best bet is to just pay for a decent host. Our league uses All Sim Baseball. They have plans for $7- $10 a month. They'll help you set things up and everything. If the money is too much then just code in some google ads to the reports template(like maybe one in the footer). As long as it's an active league it should generate enough to cover most of your costs. You can also solicit donations from league members.
