Can I Get Free Hosting If I Paid For A Domain Name?

Category: FAQ   Time: 2009-09-03   Tags: , , , ,

I already bought a domain name, so can I use something like Google’s free website or Microsoft’s? I have about 5 domain names already and do I have to host each at $10 or less a month? It would add up pretty fast.
I will be using the site eventually, but I don’t want it to just sit there when I could have some ads on it.
Thanks in advance!

    You could host it with Google but it wouldn’t work so well. But you don’t need to get a separate host for each of your domains. Just get a hosting plan which allows hosting of unlimited domains.
    I recommend one of these: http://www.hosttell.com/
    Powweb is on a 50% sale – $3.88/month ($46.56/year), and you get another free domain from them. They allow hosting of unlimited domains at the same hosting plan. What this means is that you can host all 5 domains you already have, plus more, for $46.56/year. Each additional domain you want to add would cost you just the price of a domain name registration.
    P.S. Since you didn’t use this option earlier here’s how to set it up. You just need to add your existing domains in your Powweb control panel, set the path to them and create the subfolders to each one in your root folder. You don’t have to transfer your 5 domains. You just need to enter your new host’s nameservers in your domains control panel. For example if you’ve registered your 5 domains with Godaddy, log in to your Godaddyaccount and enter NS1.powweb.com and NS2.powweb.com for your new nameservers. They will connect to your hosting account and will be totally separate websites. (after you enter the new nameservers it might take up to 24 hours for DNS records to propagate, but usually it doesn’t even take an hour). Now, whenever you want to add a new website (something.com):
    1. just register a domain name (wherever you want)
    2. enter: NS1.powweb.com and NS2.powweb.com as nameservers
    3. add the domain name in your hosting control panel
    4. and create the subfolder (with the same name) like something.com (you can name it anything you want, but it’s easier to manage them if you name it the same as your domain)

    try this:www.godaddy.com. I bought a domain name from it and I got a free hosting also.

    Yes, you can. I use 000webhost.com and I’m hosting my domain: http://dragosstanciu.com
