Im trying to make a application for a client, in which once published, he/she can automatically update it there selvs. I know how to do this XLM.

But the client does not want to pay for hosting of the XML, so does anyone know a good free XML hosting site? And this is not a internet application so it can't be put on web hosting as he has no site.

Your last sentences make no sense.  If you don't want the application on a site, then no hosting is needed at all... having hosting essentially implies having a site (or at least a place to put one)

In general, there would be no cost for xml on a site because it doesn't require anything to make it work... it is simply a text data file that gets read by an application (like Flash).

Ok sorry for my mistake, i mean im developing a android application for his small company. Which they want a page on the application that involves constant updates to what is going on in there company. So once on the store the xml sheet needs to constantly be updated, right? so the only way i could think of is through hosting. Is there a alternative?

If the data needs to be maintained in one location and made available to the world, then yes, you will need to have the data online, which means you need to arrange a host service.  I would think any host service (even a free one) would be fine since you are not looking for anything more than a home for a file that doesn't require any special services from the host server except to deliver it on request, which is the primary job of a server.

There might be some security matters you need to work out, but if you have control of the server and the app, that should be manageable.

I do not have experience creating apps though, so someone else might have good information regarding servers that are made available for storing data at low to no cost.
