How do I create my own website for free?!?

Question

No free trials.

Answer 1

You should learn HTML and you can for free at http://www.w3schools.com/

You will also need an HTML editor, Adobe Dreamweaver is the best and comes with a 30 day trial.

The best free one is NVU
http://www.nvu.com/index.php

Then you need to find a host, I have several of the most popular free hosts listed below. If you need your own domain and you are willing to pay a nominal fee then http://www.godaddy.com would be your best option.

Microsoft Office Live offers a free domain http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officelive/FX101534261033.aspx but it will include their logo and link to their service on your site. They are hoping to snag a large share of the market by offering a free domain, hosting and 500MB of storage. It will require a credit card to verify your age.

You can also visit http://www.dot.tk/ and register a free domain but it will end in .tk rather than .com.

Answer 2

Begin with setting up your own webpage as your current internet provider will provide free hosting as discussed below.

If you are currently a paid Internet subscriber, you are entitled to a "homepage" which often contains simple navigation and editing tools. And if you use the Netscape browser, the built-in Composer feature is a superior HTML authoring tool which is totally free. You can easily generate a full-blown website as a Homepage.

Nevertheless, the "homepage" URL is likely to be "http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber... name" and that URL can easily be overwritten via a redirection service, i.e., "mydomain.com" which allows you to link any registered domain name to "mask" another website. For example, should you type in the "domain name," you will be immediately transported to the homepage and the hompage URL of http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber... a homepage URL which will be masked by the domain name. And the charge for the redirection service [even at godaddy.com] is normally FREE.

When you acquire a domain name, connect it using a redirection service [as discussed above] and submit/publish the domain name on major search engines/directories in order for Net surfers to find your website.

Good luck!

Answer 3

I require my students to design a Web site for a class project. For this project, I recommend Bravenet (http://www.bravenet.com) or Tripod (http://www.tripod.lycos.com). The best sites are usually completed on one of these sites (though some still insist on using Geocities). Bravenet and Tripod both have easy Web site building tools that let you design a professional looking multi-page site without knowing any HTML!

The free sites have restrictions on bandwidth, they place advertising banners on your site, and your Web address is @bravenet.com). Bravenet at least will extend the "free" hosting package to include your own domain name (e.g., www.yoursitename.com) for $8.95 per year (you have to pay extra fees to buy and register a name from the source).

If you find yourself needing more, their professional package is only about $9 per month.

Freewebs offers an all free, no free trial, great website creator! make sure you make your login name, the same name as you want as your URL.
