How to make a site like this one for free

May 10, 2010 How To

Here is how to start a site just like this one for free, without knowing HTML or anything.

Go here, to FreeWebSpace.net’s free hosting offers forum. Find a free host that looks right for you that offers cpanel with Fantastico. Note that many hosts may require you to get a domain name first.

If you want to post on a forum in exchange for hosting, PostingForHosting.com is a good one, and gives you the option to switch to paid later once you start making money and/or if you get tired of posting.

Next, you need a domain. Try to find one at FreeWebSpace.net, use uni.cc, or (if your host allows it) google “free url redirection”. You can also find some nearly free on ebay, and (at the time I’m writing this) Yahoo has domains for $1.99 for the first year here.

Once you get everything set up, login to your cpanel (your host will have sent you instructions telling you how) and follow these instructions to install WordPress.

Make a few posts (this will tell you how) and then sign up for Google Adsense. Create an add, copy the code, and follow these instructions, but instead of a link, just put your code. Or, instead of Google Adsense, sign up for the ad program of your choice.

Now you may notice that my site does not use the default theme, and it is true that I am using a different theme that I edited using my html knowledge, but you can learn to do that later.
