How to set up a Website for Free | Setting a Free Domain Name and Hosting

By


Free Websites

If you want to have your own website but you do not want to spend any money then you have found the information you were looking for.

There are several "free" website providers to choose from but most of them will add their own ads all over your site which is probably not what you were looking for.

The info provided by this page will allow you to set up your own website, completely free, no ads and exactly like any other website on the Internet.

Free Domain

First thing you must do is to choose your domain name.

This step is very important as it will make your site more easily found by search engines and therefore by other people.

Most of the free domain names suppliers just offer you subdomains like your-name.their-name.com and this does not look like a proper domain.

Now you can learn How to get your own Free Domain Name and start your website without spending a single $.


Just click on the link above and find out the best Free Domain Name providers.

Free Hosting services

After setting up your own Free Domain Name it is now time to find the best Free Hosting supplier to host your domain.

Next I will give you several choices but I will only recommend the one I still have been using.

I have tried other free web hosting services but $0.00 webhost was the only one who kept delivering a complete set of tools which allow you to create and control your free website just like you had paid for it.

$0.00 Webhost

Creating a Web Site: The Missing Manual
Get everything you need to plan and launch a web site, including detailed instructions and clear-headed advice on ready-to-use building blocks, powerful tools like CSS and JavaScript, and Google's Blogger.
Amazon Price: $4.49
List Price: $29.99
Head First Web Design
Want to know how to make your pages look beautiful, communicate your message effectively, guide visitors through your website with ease, and get everything approved by the accessibility and usability police at the same time? Head First Web Design is your ticket to mastering all of these complex topics
Amazon Price: $22.00
List Price: $49.99

$0.00 webhost features:

  • No Ads or Banners! You can even add your own ads!
  • Disk Space - 1500 MB
  • Bandwidth - 100,000 MB = 100 GB!
  • Domains Allowed - Unlimited
  • Control Panel - Latest cPanel
  • Unrestricted PHP and MySQL databases
  • Instant Backups
  • Web Mail with spam protection
  • Website Builder

And there is more but what makes me use $000WebHost is the fact that it never let your site become off line - 99% uptime.

And I have been positively surprised because until now I only had one problem and it was corrected by their support in a few hours.

So you will also get a full support assistance service for free!

---

Beside their own Website builder they also have lots of website templates you can use and if this is not enough you can always install WordPress and create your own unique website.

I have use WordPress because of all the themes and plugins directories available but also because of its customizing concept. This allows you to change almost every detail of your new site.

The word 'free' is a good word! I do want to do my own website - but trying it all for free makes a whole lot of sense. I'm going to use what you use - can't beat a personal recommendation from a hubber.

Yay! Bookmarked and rated up!

funride 17 months ago

It`s a great word! Free. Thanks BC, hope it works for you as well. After you use them remember to share your opinion here ;)
