How To Get
A Free Website
First of all, you may ask "can websites really be free"?
The answer is yes. The reason you can make a free website is because
the web host that gives away the free webpages will put some
type of sponsored advertising on the page. So when people visit
your website, they may see the ad. So the free web host
provider wants you to be successful and have a lot of
visitors.
This is a win-win
situation. You will gain computer experience and learn new
skills. It doesn't cost you a thing and the free website
provider gets ad exposure. You may even find a good use for a
free website, like sharing your photographs, publishing your
thoughts or even selling something.
Most free website providers offer free
step by step instruction. It takes very little skill, and if you
completely mess up, you can just delete it and start over, still
at no cost! The following companies offer free web hosting:
Bravenet.com
- This is my number one pick because it has the easiest to
follow instructions. It is a one-stop-shop for all the cool
add-ons for free websites like guestbooks, page counters and
more!
BigFishGames
- If you just want a quick one-page website to impress your
friends, you can make a free gaming site in about 15 minutes.
You choose the games and customize the page. You even get two
full version game downloads just for signing up!
BuiltFree.org
- A bit more advanced, but a lot more freedom to upload
different types of files than most free web hosting providers. A
tutorial is found HERE.
