Using a free host for your own website

Click on this link: 000WebHost to use the free hosting services.



Follow the following steps to get started with your own website:

1. Visit the site: 000WebHost (don't worry, the link opens in a new tab!)


2. Click on the sign up button  at the right hand side of the page.



3. Fill up the sign up form.

4. Check your email for a confirmation link.

5. The confirmation link forwards you to your list of domains. Click on "Go to cPanel".

(Note: If there is no such link, just refresh your page and see if your link has been activated.)

6. Here comes the fun part. You can use various services provided by this free hosting service.

Some of the important services are:

a. File Manager

 It lets you manage your files inside the server.

To get started with the file manager,

i. Login with a valid username and password (The username is provided by the host itself.)

ii. Click on "public_html" folder

iii. Create an "index.php" file and type in something, like:

<?php
     echo "Hello World";
 ?>

iv. Save it and visit your site.

b. MySql

 This feature lets you create a new database and a user to access that database. All the modern sites have databases, so this feature is very handy.

c. PhpMyAdmin

 This service lets you manage your databases. You can create, edit, delete, import and export tables inside a database.

There are plenty of other services available, but for that, it would be better if you tried them yourself.
