It’s easier than you think to start, & you don’t need to be a code expert.

Perhaps the biggest obstacle to getting a website up and running is just getting started. Sure, you’ve got an idea now and content and know exactly how you want your site to look – but how do you actually get things going?

It’s WAY easier than you might imagine. First, you can feel free to shop around for what hosting provider works best, but I’ve already done all that for you and have determined decidedly that for free hosting, you should use Doteasy.com.

Doteasy.com is great for is for free hosting (actually free, as in $0/mth, $0/yr, etc. – I hope you get the idea) You do have to pay for your domain name – $25 USD gets you a year.

With Doteasy.com, you can:

• Host up to 10 domains for free
• Get 10 email accounts (like you@yourdomain.com)
• Host a Blog
• Host a Forum
• Host a Photo/Video gallery
• Get Great customer support
• AND HAVE NO WEBHOST ADS ON YOUR SITE!

(Many if not most ‘free’ webhost sites place ads everywhere on your content, making it look very unprofessional if your website represents a business. Also, they’re just annoying if all you want is a personal site, and stealing away from your own profits if you have your own ads you want to place)

The only limitations of doteasy.com’s free webhosting are that you can’t use anything that requires PHP or MySQL support, like a WordPress blog, Content Management System (CMS), or shopping cart. So if all you’re looking for is a ‘brochure’ type website – look no further than doteasy.com’s free hosting.

To Get Started Free Hosting with Doteasy.com:

Search to see if your domain is available

Choose your hosting package (Again, free hosting works perfect here – feel free to opt out of all the extra’s too, they’re totally optional and won’t ever effect the functionality of your site by not opting in, though some of the services they offer are worthwhile for the price)

Fill in your info and pay for your domain. Again, $25 USD gets you started. After that you’ll receive an email with login details to your very own control panel, where you can launch a free website creator.
