How To Make a Website For Free - Is It Possible?

There are many web services around that allow their members to make a website for free. Such free websites are ideal for individuals who want to host a personal website but don't want to pay for it. Also, undemanding small business owners who want the website to work as a Plain Jane visiting card also opt for such free websites. Now, here's how you can get a 100% free website:

1. Sign up with any of the following free website providers:

Webs.com

Weebly.com

UCoz.com

Membership is free and creating a website is fast and easy.

2. If you want to go 100% free, then you will have to settle for a domain name suffix. For example, if you want your website name to be MyName.com, then your free website address will typically be MyName.Com.Suffix, unless you pay for the domain name. The suffix is the extension provided by the free website provider.

3. Once you enter the membership area, you will be presented with a bouquet of tools like:

i. Template gallery - you can select a template of your choice from this section

ii. Drag-and-drop interface that you can use to upload your pictures

iii. Access to tools like picture galleries and blog-like content writing and uploading tools

iv. An area where you can write your meta tags, page title, description, etc.

v. An image editing tool.

4. The web service will run ads on your free website. You cannot escape this. The website providers have to somehow fun their free giveaways.

5. Once you make your pages and add the content and multimedia, you can upload your website and make it go live in a couple of clicks.

6. You will be allotted limited disk space and bandwidth. Some free hosts like UCoz.com are generous and give away 400 MB and unlimited bandwidth for free but when you get something for free you can't always expect the same levels of service as a paid service so you will have down time.

7. A free website is typically not allowed to operate databases. So, if you want to collect addresses and store them in databases, you have to pay for it.

Well, this is how one can make a website for free. There are many services that give away free and ad-supported websites. All you need to do is work with the sites mentioned above or Google search for a preferred free website host. Good luck.
