In this tutorial I'm going to show you some easy steps on how to setup your own website project without buying a web host and domain. All you need is a computer and internet connection.

Step #1: Find a free web hosting services

There are many website providers that offer free web hosting services. I will only tackle two (2) web hosting sites which I used in my website projects before.

1. 000webhost.com is a great platform for starters. With its user friendly environment you can start building your website project easily.
2.  Sourceforge.net  is mainly for open source projects. Although we cannot say that it is a website provider but by creating a project in this website, you are given a privilege to own a sub domain and access to control (read, edit and delete) the source files.

Step #2: Register a free website domain

Freenom.com offers free domain for your website with a ".TK / .ML / .GA / .CF / .GQ" extentions. You just have to signup in order to avail and start using their website services.


Step #3: Putting them together

Web host and domain when avail together creates a website capable of being accessed in any browser.

Let's start with 000webhost.com. For example you registered freetorials.tk at freenom.com and you want to park the domain in your webhosting site. 000webhost.com gives you two name servers which you are going to use in freenom.com so that your domain will points to it.

Sample 000webhost name servers
ns01.000webhost.com
ns02.000webhost.com

Configuring your domain management tools for name servers. Here's how it looks (see image below).


Once done with this step, you can now park your domain at 000webhost.com. Note that changes in freenom.com name servers takes up to 24 hours to propagate.


On the other hand, sourceforge.net servers rely on DNS providers.

Using the tools provided by your DNS provider, configure the following:




You can also try to park your domain in blogger.com, wordpress.com and any other blogging sites supported by freenom.com.

And there you have it, you can now start developing your own website project.
