How to Host a Free Website with 000WebHost

hey everyone this is tony stages tech i’m tony and in this video i’m going to show you how to make a free website with a hosting company called zero zero zero web host now with this you will also get a free sub domain name there will be some limitations which i’ll point out along the way and there will be advertisements i guess to subsidize the fact that this is a free website hosting platform um you do have the option to upgrade which i’ll show you that too uh but what i’m gonna do in this video is walk you through the step from account creation to installing wordpress to setting up wordpress just so you know.

Host My Website on This Platform I’m A

how that process looks now would i personally host my website on this platform i’m a true believer that you get what you pay for so like i said there will be some limitations it might not be for everybody especially if you have a business with a lot of traffic because of those limitations so let’s let’s go ahead and take a look at some of this so if you go to zero zero zero web host dot com you’ll see what i’m talking about here when we look at the pricing section so for free web hosting 0.00 per month you will get one website 300 megabytes of disk space limited bandwidth of 3 gigabytes per month and.

no email accounts whereas you have these other options over here where you get more disk space and more bandwidth in some cases unlimited but i’ve personally not tried out any of these hosting options what we’re going to do today is only look at the free option down here so if you just need like a basic landing page or something to show your social links a basic blog something like that this this will work perfect for you so let’s go ahead and do the free sign up i’m going to type in my email and i’m going to type in a password and repeat my password and sign up now i think what happens here is that.

they’ll send you a verification email before you can get started so it’s going and creating the account yep we sent you a confirmation email so let’s go ahead and verify that i have an email inbox over here let’s see there it is so we’ll click here to verify my email that takes us back over to zero00webhost.com and i think it’ll send us another email at some point once it’s through the okay so there are emails verified let’s see get started um what would you like to do uh what happened over here let’s create some magic oh right okay so uh here we go on the original page or on the new page that you clicked.

Screen I’m Going to Get Out of Here

on you can either go through this wizard as you see on the screen i’m going to get out of here because i i have a lot of familiarity with hosting websites and wordpress and all that stuff there is this option down here if you don’t want to go through that wizard that says it’s not my first radio take me to the panel okay the panel that they’re talking about is cpanel you might or might not be familiar with that but what we’re going to do is set up cpanel at this point so i’m going to have a password over here that i already picked out i’m going to paste in that password like comment subscribe.

123 exclamation point and you can you can or cannot type in a password or a website name at this point i’m going to leave that blank and click on submit in order to set up my cpanel which cpanel control panel it’s a you’ll see what i’m talking about in a second here it allows you to interact with different aspects of your web hosting for your website so the website itself maybe some domain names sometimes you have access to terminal inside of the cpanel and all that stuff but like i said you’ll see what i’m talking about in a second okay so what do we want to do do we want to use the website builder.

that they give us zero zero zero web host do we wanna install wordpress or upload a site you can feel free to do either one of these but what i’m gonna do is install wordpress so i’m gonna select that option and type in the wordpress credentials so this is a new wordpress website so we’re going to say my admin username is going to be tony teaches tech my admin password smash the like button one time and the language is going to be english so we’ll install that and uh from my experience this takes a bit to install so we’ll just fast forward through this part all right guys as you can see here that has.

Uh We’re Going to Log in with Our

finished it says congratulations it’s ready your wordpress is now ready for configuration so let’s go to the configuration page and uh we’re going to log in with our wordpress credentials which we typed in earlier so do that and that login and there we go so we are in our wordpress dashboard um as you can see there is a big advertisement here uh self-promoting for uh hosting with zero zero zero web host um see if we can get out of that yeah we can get rid of that uh you got um what what happens here is this is not a vanilla install of wordpress there’s a lot of plugins in what i consider to be bloat.

that they add to your website so what i recommend doing right off the bat is to go into the plug-in section and getting rid of um yeah pretty much all of these plugins so what we’re going to do is click on the check box at the top and deactivate them and that’ll deactivate them from being active on your website and then we can delete them uh completely so that’ll get rid of a lot of these pop-ups not the advertisement but a lot of these you know welcome to shapley that’ll go away next time um what does our website look like uh let’s click on this and uh we have some type of theme going on.

here um the theme color lib theme we can change the theme i’ll show you how to do that real quick these are basic wordpress things now at this point because you you you have your your free wordpress website at this point at this url i’ll show you how to change that url in a second but if we go to appearance and themes you can pick another theme one of the popular themes is the default theme wordpress 2021 so we can activate that and once that’s active you can go back to your website and see that the complete theme of your website has changed now like i promised let’s go back to our tools uh set.

Domain Name I’m Sorry Oh This Is For

a web address so here um instead of the url what’s our url now in i don’t even know how to say that kapachi and yeah something dashcapacity.000.webhost we can get a different subdomain name or you can connect your own domain name if you already have it or buy one so let’s add a domain name and uh we will do this one hit next and the domain name i’m sorry oh this is for uh i’m misguiding you here uh that’s for a uh a new domain name um actually give me a second here okay guys sorry um it looks like things have changed since the last time i was in here so um yeah if you.

go back here to website settings and click on general you’ll see that the website name has been assigned to you whereas before uh you were able to pick this this sub domain name um so that’s different but uh again if you wanted to put a more professional domain name on it this is just going to link us back here if you click on the here button the hear link it’s going to ask you to either purchase a new domain name or bring one in that you purchase somewhere else so so yeah around here let’s see what else we got we got on the general page ftp information if you need to interact with the actual.

files of your website you can connect to the ftp server there changing your password changing your php version some stuff about sending mail you can send up to 50 emails per day from within your wordpress website [Music] yeah a bunch of a bunch of settings that you can configure here you have some statistics as far as how much uh bandwidth you’re using you there’s your 300 megabytes bandwidth quota um cron jobs this is more advanced things redirects stuff like that so uh yeah this this you can play around in here and uh change some of those settings but if you want to go back to your wordpress website that’s always available in your website settings.

Your WordPress Website Uh What Uh I Will

general and then you can click on that link to go to your wordpress website uh what uh i will show you quickly is how to write a blog post so if you go into your wordpress admin dashboard by clicking on this panel up here or if that’s not for some reason not showing for you you can go to dash wp or slash wp-admin and that will take you there too and then you can go to uh blog posts and add a new blog post and what i’m going to do is just make a simple blog post like hello [Music] world from tony teaches tech and then i have some content over here that i’m just.
