How to create a website with free hosting in this step by step tutorial, I'm going to be showing you
0:04
one or two things that are going to be really really helpful for your first website totally
0:08
for free. So as you can see I'm into one of two available stuff that you can use totally for free
0:14
and this one is called Pantheon. Now Pantheon is going to be helping us to host our WordPress
0:20
website totally free and we don't have to spend absolutely anything. But let's say if you want
0:24
to have a custom URL it's going to be taking a little bit of algebra budget. So first of all
0:31
what I want to do if I want to do totally for free I want to go and get started and here's
0:35
going to be asking me for a first last name of course my company and my work email as well as
0:41
internet passcode and what I want to do is to choose the country I'm currently living. I want
0:44
to create the Pantheon tab so use and after that I'm going to hit into sign up and just like that
0:50
as you can see now I'm into the dashboard of the Pantheon. So what I can do is to create a new site
0:55
so it's going to be setting up a server a database and development environment so we can focus into
1:00
building only our site and once again totally for free. So I'm going to hit into create a site down
1:06
in here and it's going to be asking for the actual CMS site so you can choose a Drupal you can choose
1:14
Drupal number 7 you can choose WordPress if you wanted to in my case I want to stick around with
1:20
WordPress and then what I want to do is to customize my WordPress in order to access WordPress
1:25
totally for free. So for example let's say name your Pantheon site let's go for Express Tech and
1:32
choose a region let's go for United States upstream hit into continue and just like that the actual
1:38
site is going to be created in a very easy and easy way. So just wait a few seconds until your
1:43
site is going to be created and then what you want to do is to focus into the left part where
1:47
it says site I'm going to click into sites. Now that our server has finally stopped I'm going to
1:53
go and look out for basic development site so this one is going to be sending me into WordPress so
1:58
what you want to do is to choose your language hit into continue and then what I want to do is to
2:04
import the actual information of my site title my username passcode and my email once again in order
2:11
to enter specifically speaking about WordPress. So I'm going to go into logged in here's my username
2:17
and this is my passcode I'm going to hit into logged in and what I want to do is to import my email as
2:22
well as my passcode and then what I want to do is to type it into logged in so as just as easy as
2:29
that Pantheon is going to be giving me the server of WordPress. Why didn't I do this directly from
2:35
WordPress because if you want to do this in a very free way and I go for plugins into the left part
2:41
you might see that there's a lot of stuff that you need to have if you wanted to download
2:47
applications you could have a plan of WordPress but in our case it says compatible with your
2:51
version of WordPress so we can add as much plugins as you want to totally for free so I can go into
2:58
classic editor install now and installing has been installed so I just need to activate it and then
3:02
you're actually good to go. Now here into WordPress I do love to work with a actual editor which is
3:09
called the Elementor so if I go into the add new plugins let's focus into search plugins and let's
3:15
go for Elementor. Elementor is going to be helping us to create almost any kind of website I just need
3:21
to drag and drop a lot of stuff and to install now really really easy to create your actual website
3:28
totally for free so as you can see we have a host we have a server of the Pantheon we have a
3:34
WordPress already been created and we have plugins we can use totally for free so that's
3:40
the reason why I told you guys really really easy to have this. The second way that you can have a
3:46
free hosting and a free website is called Wix. There's a lot of application of course there's a
3:52
lot of website builders that offers to you some free website builder but you must be told that
3:59
if you want to use that website if you want to enable and publish that you need to have a plan
4:03
so you only have a trial version but not with Wix.com. Wix actually helps you to create your
4:09
website totally for free but if you want to connect in custom domain you need to have of
4:14
course a plan into Wix but if you don't want to use that you still want to use this totally for
4:18
free you must use a free URL website provided by Wix. So if you're going to manage that Wix.com
4:25
after you created your account you want to go into create your new site and what I want to do is to
4:30
get started with my site so first of all what I wanted to do is to type the actual stuff let's say
4:36
that I wanted to create a simple blog I'm going to go for entertainment blog here into next and
4:42
then it's going to be asking for the actual name of our website so let's go for textpress
4:48
blogging section or landing page landing page here into next and then it's going to be asking like
4:54
what are the elements would you like to add into your website you can add a chat section you can
4:59
add some poems I just want to go for let's say some videos music and choose some table reservations
5:07
and I'm going to leave it like that file share hit into next and lastly it's going to be asking how
5:12
do you want to decide your site whether you want to choose a template or you want to Wix create
5:17
something for you I can strongly suggest you to use a template since there are actually thousands
5:22
of templates you can use it totally for free so if I choose entertainment blog it's going to be
5:27
telling me like what are the most recommended apps that I can choose that where I can actually
5:32
get started so if you find one that is truly let's say interesting for you you want to go into view
5:38
so you can see how it's going to be looking your personal blog if you kind of like what you're
5:42
seeing here just go into edit this site and then you can just get started into wix.com so as you
5:48
can see into the left part we can see all our tools we have elements section pages size design
5:54
and much more so with that being said I can just utilize all of these elements so I can start
6:00
customizing my website since I am using in a specific let's say a template I just need to
6:07
double click into the elements that I want to edit and let's say this is now my blog
6:12
personal including this blog I just delete this and I want to impose the name of my brand
6:18
and I just need to customize this as I'm just filling all my information and on and on if I
6:24
feel that I need something else I can go into add elements and I can focus into let's say I want to
6:30
add like a photo or like a video I want to choose this option and I can import a video from youtube
6:35
for example and I just click them and I can just drag and drop the actual image that I want to
6:41
show into my website and the last thing that I can give you if you still wanted to let's say not pay
6:47
absolutely anything is called the google site so this three application is going to be helping you
6:52
to get started with your customed url if I go for example here into the dashboard of my pantheon
6:59
the name of my actual website is going to be up in here into elements we're going to go back
7:06
and I want to go into my home section into my dashboard and I want to scroll a little bit down
7:11
so I can take a look into how it's going to be looking my actual website and this is the name
7:16
of my website dev slash express tech dot pantheon site dot io and this is my sample page
7:23
if I go into wix I can go into my editor hit into edit this site and here I want to publish
7:30
and here's going to be appearing the name of my wix domain so my case is going to be this one
7:35
that wixsite.com fast forward slash textpress and lp and hit into save and continue and boom
7:42
it's going to be created like really right away but in since we're using a free domain since we're
7:47
using a free tool it's going to appear into this actual website builder design so if you don't
7:52
mind to have this into the upper and into the down part we can just continue with our website
7:58
and here to google site it's exactly the same process go into start a new site you can go into
8:03
the template gallery and you can choose whatever option you wanted to see for example this one
8:08
and then it's going to be sending you into the customizable section of google site so you can
8:12
start to add your own elements as you are working here and lastly you want to go into published
8:19
and it's going to be period a custom website down in here site.google.com fast forward slash view
8:25
fast forward slash let's go for textpress and if it's available it's going to be appearing in green
8:31
if it's not you can choose something else let's say for example one two eight well or something
8:35
like that and we have a plus so those are just like a few elements a few ways you can create
8:40
your website totally for free with the hosting and we didn't have to spend absolutely anything
8:44
