To have a website running you will need two different things:

  1. Domain name
  2. Hosting service


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:

  1. Choose your domain name and hosting service providers. For the example, we'll use:
  2. Make sure that www.yourdomain.tk is not registered in www.dot.tk.
  3. 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.
  4. Take note of the DNS names of the hosting service (something like ns01.000webhost.com and ns02.000webhost.com).
  5. 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.

Finally, create your own web page with your name, a picture, etc.
