To have a website running you will need two different things:
- Domain name
- Hosting service
Subscribing free domain name and free hosting service[modifica]
Most providers let you subscribe the two services at the same time. If we want to have a completely free system, we'll need to fowllow this procedure:
- Choose your domain name and hosting service providers. For the example, we'll use:
- http://www.dot.tk for free domain registration
- http://www.000webhost.com for free hosting service provider
- Make sure that www.yourdomain.tk is not registered in www.dot.tk.
- Subscribe the free hosting service (our example is www.000webhost.com).
- *In the example we can choose to set up a domain name or a subdomain. Choose your own domain name.
- Take note of the DNS names of the hosting service (something like ns01.000webhost.com and ns02.000webhost.com).
- Go to the free domain service provider and register your domain. Our example provide will be www.dot.tk so your domain must be www.yourdomain.tk (ending in .tk).
- When getting into the configuration set the DNSs to the ones indicated by your hosting service provider (something like ns01.000webhost.com and ns02.000webhost.com).
- Wait 30 minutes to have the service set up and running.
Uploading your first webpage[modifica]
Obviously you will need to create an index.html page first of all (with your name, welcome message, a picture, etc).
Finally, create your own web page with your name, a picture, etc. You'll access your hosting via FTP:
- In the hosting service, search in the account information for:
- FTP username: something like a801xxx
- Password: (the same for your account, will not be displayed)
- Servername: somehting like server32.000webhost.com
- Connect via FTP to your provider:
- In GNU/Linux: open a nautilus, do CTRL+L to set the location and put:
- ftp://<username>@<servername>
- For our case will be something like ftp://[email protected]
- In GNU/Linux: open a nautilus, do CTRL+L to set the location and put:
- Go to the public_html' folder.
- Delete the index.php .
- Upload your index.html file with your information.
