How to Create a Completely Free Website

Website Development

This post demonstrates how to create a completely free website with a free domain name and a free web hosting account.

To create any type of website, following two things are required:

  1. A Domain Name ( name of the website), e.g., www.facebook.com, www.amazon.com, etc.
  2. A Web Hosting account, where a website is created and all the website data is stored, e.g., images, databases, files, etc.

Hence, first register a free domain on Freenom.com. Freenom provides free domain name registration with extensions such .gq, .ga, .ml, etc. To register a free domain on Freenom.com, follow the previous post, Free Domain Name Registration with Freenom.

Now create a free web hosting account on InfinityFree.net. InfinityFree is known for having the fastest free web hosting accounts with unlimited disk space. To create a free InfinityFree web hosting account, follow the post How to Create a Free Web Hosting cPanel Account.

After registering a free domain name and creating a free web hosting account, follow the steps in the video to create an HTML website.

Remember, free accounts are not recommended for professional website development, as these accounts are very unreliable and offer very limited functionalities and support for troubleshooting.
