100% Free WebSite - From Domain To Hosting To Scripts..... And To Contents?

    Creating a website can be very easy and affordable! It can even be FREE! Setting up a website usually takes three steps:


  1. Having A Domain Name
  2. Choosing A Hosting Service
  3. Building the Website
Steps 2 and 3 can actually be interchanged.


Step 1: Having A Domain Name

     Most Domain Names can be obtained by hosting providers. Most hosting providers offer total website creation service, from domain name registration up to website building. Some of them offer free domain names in exchange of monthly charges for hosting; while some offer free hosting with paid monthly domain name. An example this kind of sevice is VodaHost hosting.

     To have a complete free website do not commonly involve obtaining a domain name and a hosting service at only one provider. It requires getting a free domain first from a certain site that offers it. List of sites that offer a free domain name are listed below:

CO.CC:Free Domain
 Co.Cc give co.cc and cc.cc domains for free without forced ads to be displayed on your finished site. It offers web forwarding, Zone Records and own DNS service. Domain expires after a year and charges renewal fee if the domain is used for commercial purposes. $0.00 renewal fee if it is used personally. Up to four domain registrations per account.


dot.tk
 Probably the shortest domain you would ever get for free! It has the same capabilities of co.cc, only that it shows ads if you use their DNS so it's better to use your own DNS. DNS can be obtained from hosting providers. You'll see where you can get free hosting below. There is no limit on the number of domains that can be registered as long as you can maintain 25 visitors per 90 days to your .tk site.

DomainLagoon
Domain LagoonA site where you can earn a free .com,.net, info, .mobi, .org and the most common domain suffixes through completing offers (some offers are free, some are paid), playing games and clicking ads. Free hosting can also be earned!




Step 2: Choosing a Hosting Service
     
     After having a free domain name, the next thing to do is to have a free hosting service that will store the contents of your website for viewing purposes. Some free hosting services offers website building for free with lots of scripting features while others don't so it is important to choose what's complementing your expectations. I compiled some free hosting services below and it's up to you to check and choose the one that fits your requirements:


000webhost
Free Website Hosting By signing up for a free hosting account, you may first be given with a subdomain which can be changed to your own domain after registration and verification. It offers 150MB disk space and data transfer of 10GB/month.


AwardSpace
AwardSpace offers an eco-friendly hosting that includes a lot of scripting features. Faster verification of sites! It allows 200MB diskspace and 5GB data transfer per month






PingHoster.net
     It's worth to mention this hosting service cause it offers features that other paid hosting services use. It offers unlimited diskspace and data transfer. However, it allows a Co.Cc domain upon availing of the hosting service.



Other free hosting I know are: x10hosting, heliohost, doteasy, byethosting, 000space, freehostia, and Bryansoft. Why hosting services offers free hosting? To gain competitive advantage over other paid hosting like popularity and profitability (when people sign-up for free hosting, they would later on need some larger storage and more advanced features that are paid through the hosting provider) It is only Pinghoster and Bryansoft that I know are really offering free unlimited hosting with no other paid plans.


Step 3: Build your Website for Free
    
     The last step in setting-up a website is to build it which usually includes installing scripts and adding some contents and designs. Almost all paid hosting providers offer free website building while for free hosting providers, it is only some; unless you'll pay for it! 


     A script is like a skeleton of a website. Some are used for blogging, music, videos, ad serving, content managing, forums, and many more. A very known example is the wordpress. Almost all hosting providers that allows installing scripts on a website use softwares such as Softaculous and Fantastico Deluxe which can be found on the hosting control panel.


     Instead of scripting, you can have the option of using website authoring and designing softwares that can be acquired for sale or for free. Voda's website deign software called BlueVoda can be acquired for free whether you are using their service or not! There are also free website building services online such as Webs, Weebly, Webstarts and BlinkWeb. There are even themes that can be downloaded online by searching Google!


Free Website Contents
     If you are lazy about putting contents on your website, just search online and you'll find contents that can be put on your site. Just make sure you are authorized to copy or else you can be accused of plagiarism. 
  • Put some ads and make money through Google Adsense! Banned? Use other alternatives such as Adclickmedia for text ads and Selling PPP for audio ads!
  • If you are writing a blog get an automatic posting articles in SEOLinkVine or get articles from Article Trader (include author).
  • Add music videos, documents, slides...
What more?...
