Want to make a website all with just coding? Well, using 1FreeHosting, now you can!
Steps
Method 1 Registering the tk Domain
- 1Get a domain name that you can connect with another CPanel's Nameservers. In this case, we are using a .tk domain. Go to www.tk for the domain.
- 2Sign in via a social media or email account on the .tk website. (You would want to sign in so you can renew the domain later.)
- 3Click "Domain Panel" at the top.
- 4Click "Add Domain" right below "Domain Panel".
- 5Choose a domain. In this case, wikihowarticlecode.tk will be chosen. Select "Free Domain", and then click "Next".
- 6Enter a random referer URL like http://www.google.com which I did. Set the registration length to 12 months, and do the captcha. (The box where you type in what you see in the image.) "Then click Next".
Method 2 Registering the CPanel
- 1Go to http://www.1freehosting.com. They have great features. You can read about all the features they give you for free. Read about them here: http://www.1freehosting.com/free-website-and-hosting.html.
- 2Sign up for an account.
- 3Create a new domain account. Then choose the 1FreeHosting plan. Select Domain, and type in the domain you registered. After that, enter a password that is easy to remember. (Don't use your account password!) And then type it again. (Don't generate a password unless you're going to right it down!) Now enter the Captcha code. Finally click "Create".
- 4Wait for the domain account to process and then refresh the page.
- 5Click Switch next to the Domain and you're in the CPanel. Now we have to connect the domain and the CPanel's Nameservers.
Method 3 Connect the Domain and CPanel's Nameservers
- 1In the CPanel, click "Details". Then copy the Nameservers. In this case, they are: ns1.1freehosting.com, ns2.1freehosting.com, ns3.1freehosting.com, and ns4.1freehosting.com. They might be different!
- 2Open back the .tk site and go into the "Domain Panel". Click modify next to the domain you are using.
- 3Switch to "Custom DNS" and paste the 4 Nameservers you copied. Then click "Save Changes".
- 4Go back to the CPanel and click Home. If there is no message as shown above, or something close to that message, you have successfully connected the Nameservers! Now comes the best part! Making the website!
Method 4 Make the Website with the File Manager!
- 1Click "Details" on the CPanel. Scroll down until you see "File Manager 2" on the side bar. Click it. (File Manager 2 doesn't show up on the CPanel, but the regular File Manager does. The regular File Manager is not as good and you need to download it into your website. The second one also has more features.)
- 2A new tab pops up. This is your website's internal. Click "public_html".
- 3You see "Default.php", delete it by selecting the box and clicking delete and then clicking the green check. To go back click the blue arrow. It is best to code off of the website as it is the easiest, so start coding. The author created a small html document with Notepad++.
