Google Cloud (2024) - Host & Setup A Free Website

Google cloud beginner tutorial 2023 host and set up a free website

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to another video. I hope you all are doing great and are

having an amazing and absolutely incredible day. In this video, we're going to be talking about, you know, how you're going to go

through all the main integrate free things of making a Google cloud

OK, and in this Google cloud, obviously, we're going to go and host and set up a free website for ourself

It's totally free. It's totally amazing and it's totally useful. So to walk ourselves through this

what we're going to do is we're going to come over to cloud. Google dot com. OK. And there's different loads of things where you can conduct an assessment

So all these options, they're paid. So and if they gave us, you know, you could say three hundred dollars free

in credit, it would be amazing. But, you know, do we actually want to go with that is the question

Now, moving on, you can also go to different Google cloud products that you can get for yourself and these feature products

You have Compute Engine and Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Cloud Run, Looker, Vertex AI Platform, you know, Kubernetes Engine

Cloud SQL, Cloud SDK, Cloud CDN, et cetera. So these are running workloads of free

credit products that you have for yourself. And it's really incredible to get these products for yourself

And the brief overview that you get of Google Cloud is pretty easy

OK, now, once you're signed in with your account, you can actually find different pricings for the Google Cloud pricing tool

OK, so if you come over to Google Cloud pricing or the Compute Engine pricing, for example

you can see over here, start running workloads for free. Three hundred dollars in free credits, 20 plus free products

only pay for what you use, save up to 57 percent on workloads

stay in control of your spending and a whole lot more. So, you know, you get used to it and the point of it

So to start things off, you're going to click on start free. And once you click on start free

it takes you to the free trial of the console, Google Cloud

OK, so basically this free trial sign up takes you over here and it asks you for these different

informations and the free program can obviously be found using non preemptible, you know, Compute Engines

So over here, you're going to choose your account, choose your country, click on agree and continue

Now, obviously, Google Cloud is allowing you to host and set up a free website with a free domain

OK, so for that, it will take a few prices. But right now it's a free trial that, you know, lasts quite a while

And here you can read, put Google Cloud to work with three hundred dollars in credit to spend over the 90 days

So it gives you three hundred dollars in credit, which you can spend. And then it gives you the payment verification

So if you have a business account, you can add your business. But if you don't, you don't need to do this

You can add a business name. Once you do that, then you need to add in your account details

OK, so when it comes to actually adding in your account details, what's going to happen in this case is

we're just going to go ahead and add all the necessary details. And once we've done that

I'm just going to go ahead to the billing address and add all the necessary things

So once I've added all the necessary details for my card, I'm going to come here

and we're going to click on start free. Once you click on start free, it's going to set up all your billing

And once you set up all the billing, everything should be good to go. Now, if the issue arises that your card

gets declined or something like that, you can just automatically go ahead and

allow your card to be activated and to activate your card. You're just going to need to tell your bank handlers that, hey

I want you to activate my card. You can call them on their helpline because most of the times when you're

accessing something like Google Cloud, because it's obviously not something that someone accesses every day

So, yeah, in this case, just go ahead. Like, let's say I'm going to come here, activate my card

Once your card is activated, just go ahead and click on start free. And now you're going to see that my thing is going to work out fine

And don't worry, even if you activate your card, this doesn't mean you're going to get scammed or anything out of it

because obviously you just need to finish your project set up. And once it's properly finished up, it's going to bring you here

You know, no money is going to be cut. And after this, immediately, you can just

go ahead and deactivate your card by telling your people at the bank

So once you've deactivated your card, it's going to say, welcome, your free trial includes three hundred dollars in credit to spend over the next

90 days, which best describes your organization or needs. OK, so in my case, you know, I could go a large company, midsize, etc

I'm going to go with startup and click on next. What brought you to Google Cloud

OK, this is also a very important question, because whatever you add in what brought you to Google Cloud is going to be used

to set up most of the things that you're going to have on your Google Cloud

OK, so in our case, you know, you could say that I came to Google Cloud for

let's say, cloud application development or to, you know, let's go with other let's go with other and I'm going to go with host website

OK, now once you do that, click on next. What are you interested in doing with Google Cloud

OK, this is also a very important question, because once you enter this, it's going to give you different things according to it

So obviously, in our case, we're here to host websites. So I'm going to do that and click on next

What best describes your role? So you could be an engineer, CEO, IT manager, developer

I'm going to go with CEO and click on done. And once you go on done

you know, things are going to be a piece of cake to work on from here on out

So just load things in. And as you load things in, it's going to bring you here

It says welcome. Obviously, you're going to be welcomed over here. And it says you're in free trial

Zero out of three hundred dollars credit are used. You can obviously activate your full account by giving the full money that you get the point

So you are welcomed into the cloud based format over here. And it says recommend based on your interest, you know, web, mobile games

storage, et cetera. You can deploy a three tier web app and create a dynamic web app with Python

and JavaScript. You can also create a serverless. You could see e-commerce platform

And this is mainly what we're here for because we want to create an e-commerce. But the main things that come around is to basically host a website for yourself

So you can host a website by basically creating a database or a Compute Engine

So to create a Compute Engine, you can just come here. What this Compute Engine will allow you to do is basically it's going to allow you

to create a host, OK, and it's going to allow you to create a website using the cloud

So once you have the Compute Engine API, it creates and runs virtual machines that run on Google Cloud Platform

And to allow yourself to do this, you're just going to enable it

And once everything is enabled, you know, there's different websites that you can host

you know, WordPress that actually runs on Compute Engine. You can deploy WordPress

a website creation and publishing platform to Google Cloud with a range of hosting options using your Compute Engine

And these different things are done using Compute Engine, like while my Compute Engine is being enabled

I can also show you this over here. So as you can see, Google Cloud Web Hosting, you're going to come down here

Cloud Web Hosting services allow you WordPress on Compute Engine. That's why I was adding Compute Engine

because you get blog, simple websites, best for low to medium traffic

open source content management. Then you have LAMP stack on Compute Engine and a whole lot of other providers

So overall, really, you know, fun and really easy stuff to get your head around

And that is basically how you're going to host websites. So all you're going to do is get Compute

Engine after getting Compute Engine, just deploy it to your WordPress in the easiest, most simplest way possible

And that is how you are going to be creating, setting up and hosting websites on your Google Cloud

Yeah, basically, that's about it. Now, if you enjoyed watching this video and you found it informational
