How to get free hosting service for custom domain names?

Posted by FISH On Thursday, March 04, 2010

 Starting a website or a blog can be an overwhelming process not only because it can be  expensive but also because you have to deal and fish out for different services ranging from hosting service to FTP (file transfer protocol). Even if you have managed to pay for and set-up all this, the question is what are you going to do for the website?
A professionally made website cost about $100 at least, but if you plan to use a content management system such as wordpress, which is buggy at best,  it requires more than fair knowledge of HTML and CSS. A simple change in placement of sidebar content in wordpress template can be a tedious process. 



Here is a simple, cheap and effective way to start your own website. A lot of people know about this but apparently many don't.

1. Get a custom domain.
If you have decided on a name and haven't already registered it then I suggest that you go and get it done right now. http://www.godaddy.com
This article can wait, your custom domain may not be able to. There are 1.7 billion internet users around the world, in all probability he/she can easily think about the same domain name as you. This has happened to me once and to my friend thrice. Therefore, I insist. I would hate to see anybody in the same situation. 
2. Register at http://www.blogger.com and create a blog. You can choose the same blog name as your custom domain name. If the blog URL is already taken, then try to look for a similar URL as yours. Here is a quick example:

Custom domain: www.myblog.com
If you can't get www.myblog.blogspot.com, then you can try for www.my-blog.blogspot.com 

Now comes a little technical part. Follow the step by step process and everything will be as easy as eating a piece of chocolate.
