How I made my first web page - starting with free web hosting

Ranked #1,072 in Internet, #58,829 overall

About two years ago...

About two years ago when I got more and more involved in internet, I had no idea how to make a web page or something.

Luckily a friend told me a little bit about web, web hosting, domains and so on.

So, first of all I needed a place to work on. For beginning I thought it would be best to get some free space on internet.

Free Web Hosting - Directory guide listing free web space providers with user ratings, reviews, and searchable database of free website hosts, as well as free image hosting and file hosting services. Updated daily.

I tried a few of them and decided on one that suited me most, logged in and started.

Free space on internet means I had to find free web hosting. Free web hosting basically means a place to put my page on.

Here I found a lot of different free web hosts.

There are free hosting plans with or without cPanel® or other control panels, hosting with advertisement or without advertisement, different amount of web space and so on.

When I had free web hosting, I registered with subdomain, simply because I didn't have a clue, how I can get a domain, and the price also suited me - it was free!

Later I found out that I can get free domain, for instance domain cz.cc.

I wanted to create a website with many various articles, which could eventually grow into thousand pages or more, so I was looking for something suitable that would made my job easier. I installed different scripts with Softaculus in cPanel® and tried one after another to find out what do they offer.



After several attempts, I decided for Joomla. On their website there is a lot of information (I still haven't read most of it), forums, ... There are also a lot of blogs about Joomla. So, mostly I got a lot of assistance online.

I still work with Joomla and my site will probably never be finished, because I like trying new things all the time. But I would like to share my experience and write about Joomla and everything else that comes along.

    I have found even cheap web hosting to be a problem so I would still worry about using it free

    Yes, free services are usually unreliable. Unfortunately paid ones are not necessary better...

    Interesting, I always use paid hosting.

    There are some really cool free hosting options out there but not suitable for everything.
