How to make a website for free?

Posted at: 2015-03-04 
How do you make your own website for free? I know some website have like a 30 days thing but I mean a website that will exist for as long as I want it to.

There are many ways to create permanent online content that is almost (not 100%) guaranteed to be under your control for eternity. But all of these options have limitations. Sometimes your free website or blog will be served ads by whoever is giving you the free website service. Other times, there will be restrictions on content and off course, you can never know if your content will be up there forever.

Some options for free Website are:

http://www.wix.com/

http://www.wordpress.com

http://www.weebly.com/

You could also try hosting it yourself but that will require you to keep a computer running 24 hours a day and it will make your computer a playground for hackers-in-training as it takes quite a bit of computer knowledge to set up the security precautions for a website.

Conclusion: Forget about free hosting. A domain name costs no more than $10 a year and the best hosting is about $100 a year. I am sure there are billions of people in the world who cannot afford to spend an extra $100 a year but anyone who can afford a laptop and an internet connection can also spare that sum if serious about having a website.

WordPress.com works well or even blogger. Make sure you do buy a domain name and connect it with that service so that you start to build a brand. Also check the terms and conditions of those websites and find out if you own the content you upload there or if they do. In many cases, they do.

If you're serious about a business website, then don't go the free route and get it professionally made. You'll then get your own hosting and you'll own the content you create and put on that website.

There are some websites such as weebly.com, webs.com, etc. that will host your website for an indefinite period of time completely free of cost! The only thing is that you have to use their templates and there are some limits on what you put in the website. The website URL also has to be "nameofyourwebsite.weebly.com" or "nameofyourwebsite.webs.com", depending on the website. You can pay a fee to remove the .weebly or .webs or etc.

This is what I did because I wanted to do the same thing. So I looked for a free hosting (this was the one I picked, https://www.x10hosting.com/). Once you opened an account with them, I went to control panel and downloaded wordpress and set it up (record all info while setting up wordpress like user name, password and database name) and that's it. In the control panel you can pick up open sources according to your needs. Here is my web site http://dilema.x10.mx.
