Link for .co.cc Registration: http://www.co.cc
Link for 000WebHost Registration: http://www.000webhost.com

So here is our tutorial on creating a free website domain and use a free hosting service to accompany it. So, first of all go to the co.cc website, type in your desired domain in the text box I type it in and check availibility. If on this page is says the price is 0 then you may proceed. If not, your address is to long and you must either shorten it or pay the charge. Then fill in the registration form, accept the T&C’s and click create an account now. Click set up now, and then open up a new window or tab. Here open up the 000webhost page. Scroll down the page, and click order now on the free hosting service (left column). Then fill in the registration form and in the text box at the top input the domain you previously created (mine is ngfwebsite.co.cc). Fill in the rest of the form and continue registration. Then keep refreshing until the correct page appears. Then enter the control panel, and take the nameserver addresses copy them:
ns01.000webhost.com
ns01.000webhost.com
Re-open the co.cc page, and click set up. Then, tick the update nameserver box and paste the nameservers in. Click OK, then return to 000webhost. Keep refreshing again until the reminder at the top of the screen goes away. Then it’s all set up. To upload files do the following:
Go to File Manager, leave the user name as is and input your 000webhost password
ONLY UPLOAD FILES to the Public_html folder
Delete the default.php file
Click upload and upload any files you wish. If you want to make this file your homepage, name it index.html. I pre-saved a copy of the google homepage, and used that as an example. I then show that this has worked. You will notice that the images don’t appear. To make them appear they must be uploaded to the internet. The webpage I reccomend using for uploading images is image shack. Link:
http://imageshack.us/
Then, use the link from the upload when creating the image as the file location.

Please do not be fooled by any other tutorials promising free .com websites, as they are fake as .com and .co.uk websites are always pay only

Hey guys and gals, Fred here with another tip on how you too, actually anyone, can be a web guru, without having to be a tech-geek.

Ever been a member of a forum or message board online? most have.

Forums are like online hangouts, where people with common interests share info and get to know each other.

I often visit this music forum where I get the latest info and tour dates on my favorite band. Then there’s a webmaster frum where I keep up on the web’s latest secrets.

And here’s a secret about forum hosting, a forum can actually get your more traffic to your website and higher ranking in the search engines, as they increase your number of inbound links coming to your web site.

Believe it or not, you don’t have to be a techy at all to start your own forum. There’s really just 2 simple Steps:

1. Choose some Forum software you like.
2. Choose a good Forum Host, who makes your forum accessible online.

I’ll try to make these 2 steps as basic as possible, with my own recommendations.

Step 1.

It’s important to chose forum software that has all the features you and your forum members will want, like the ability for members to share files, pictures, create opinion polls, set Calendar events, instant message and more.

One forum software that does this, and is also free, is drum roll …. Simple Machines Forums, or SMF.

The great part about Simple Machines is the creators are always improving the software, and adding new features, based on input from a whole community of cool people who have their own forums. This means Simple Machines already has most the features today’s users are looking for.

There’s a site where you can try a live demo of latest Simple Machines version, the one I link to is hosted by Online Institute.

And that brings us to the second step: getting a good host.

I mention Online Institute because they are a pioneer in forum hosting. They were around before Google and Youtube, and continue to do a reliable job installing and customizing forums. They give you a web address for your forum, so you get your own domain that starts with www. Also, unlike a lot of forum hosts, Online Institute can actually help if you have any questions along the way, because they’ve been doing it for so long. And from my experience, they’re courteous too, which is always cool.

A decent forum host is usally a lot cheaper than they typical cell phone bill, usually about 10 bucks a month, give or take, which is the only fee you need to pay if you go with free forum software like Simple Machines, But if your forum haoens to take off like many have, and become a thriving online community, maybe donate a little back over at the site who makes the free software: http://www.SimpleMachines.org.

If you feel like getting your feet wet, go on over to http://www.onlineinstitute.com and click the “Forum Hosting” link, they also have the free demo.

So that’s it. Good software, a good host who does all the technical work, and you too can start a forum, whether you use it to blog, connect with friends, family, business colleagues, or just to start your own unique and interactive home on the web. And most importantly, don’t forget to have fun. It’s your forum!

PS: Online Institute also offers private chat software you can try for free here:

Note this tutorial uses the term Forum but some people refer to them as Message Boards or Message Board hosting.

Enjoy Your Forum!
