Web Hosting Free: How to Start Your First Website

Admin

Tippitri - While the idea of starting your own website can seem daunting, especially if you’ve never done it before, you don’t have to worry because you can get web hosting free. This doesn’t mean that you have to pay no money at all, it just means that you won’t have to pay any up-front costs and will instead pay after using the service.

Setting up your website with web hosting free is just as easy as using a paid service and saves you time and money in the long run.

Select a domain name

Once you’ve registered a web hosting free service, you need to select a domain name. Your choice may be already taken, in which case you may have no choice but to use a different name or find another provider.

Many of these services offer hundreds of available names and/or have lists of possible variants for common names (if your chosen name isn’t available). Once you select your domain, you can use tools on many websites—including Webhosting free sites—to verify that it’s not currently being used by another website owner.

Even if it's been taken by someone else, in most cases there are ways for registrars and website owners to transfer ownership between each other, usually for small fees.

Select hosting

Web hosting free is often a pretty good option for someone starting out with a website. That said, free doesn’t mean low quality. If you aren’t expecting too much from your site and are really only looking for a place to get started, opting for a web hosting free will likely be just fine. Just keep in mind that as you put more demands on your site, you’ll want to upgrade your plan.

With that said, if money is an issue and you don’t have many plans on what to do with your site yet, it might be wise to go with a web hosting free until you have some idea of where things are going.

Install WordPress

You’ll need WordPress installed on your web host to publish content, so install it as soon as you set up your account. Follow our step-by-step instructions for installing WordPress from scratch and then come back here when you’re done.

You can also use our guide to choose a website theme or editor, but there’s no rush—you don’t have any content yet! Still, if you want a head start on that aspect of things, follow these steps.

Add content

The content you add should be of high quality. Don’t just put up spam. Instead, offer something helpful to your target audiences, like tips and tricks or a guide. This is very important because it helps people trust your brand even more than they would have otherwise had they encountered you randomly through search engines.

For people to trust your brand, they need to see that you’re an expert in a particular field, which requires that you add lots of useful information related to your niche every time you post something new on your website. People don’t want bad advice, so if they find something wrong with what you are saying or writing then all trust will be lost and they will leave quickly.

Optimize SEO by using plugins

If you’re looking for web hosting free, there are a lot of alternatives out there that will cost you nothing at all. Since your first website will likely not have much traffic, as long as it’s easy to find on Google and users don’t have an issue downloading anything from your site, you won’t need to pay a cent.

The advantage is that you can use your site as a test-bed for creating different types of pages (try uploading videos or other files) before moving on to paying host. If it's free, why not make something just for fun?
