Let's say you've created your site with useful or entertaining content and want to host it on the internet. In order for your site to have round-the-clock access, as well as for it to have a memorable short name on a popular domain, you will have to contact paid hosting services that charge a small fee for storing your data on servers. However, such services can be found without a monthly fee.

Instructions
Step 1
Open your browser and enter the words "Free hosting" in the search bar. The search engine will offer you many links. To register, go through them and select the hosting you like, having read all the terms of placement in full.
Step 2
Register on the site of the selected hosting. Read carefully the terms of use of hosting and the agreement with the user - that is, with you. All further problems with the site or questions about the server will be governed by this agreement. It is also worth paying attention to the privileges provided by the hoster. Disk space and online support usually play the biggest role.
Step 3
Choose a name for your site. You will most likely be presented with several options during the registration process. Please note that the full name of your site will contain the hosting domain name. In the future, you can change it to a second-level domain name. However, consider whether it is worth it? You will have to go through a rather complicated domain transfer procedure.
Step 4
After completing the registration procedure, go to the section of the site reserved for you and familiarize yourself with the management tools. Upload the content of your site to the server and make the necessary settings. This is done using special upload forms or through ftp access programs.
Step 5
Free hosting services have their own limitations: a small amount of memory for hosting your site, the inability to use some scripts (which means that it will not be possible to make a chat, forum, voting or guestbook) and, which is often found, the mandatory placement of advertising banners. So think carefully. You may save some money, but a good website deserves a good hosting.
