Where to host free website? And free domain?

[BristolBrick]

I want to make a joke website called 'triangleearth.com' saying that 69 years ago scientists thought the earth was a cylinder, but they realized if that were true (since space is water, and it's sloping) we would have rolled down the water, but we are still in the same place, so the earth must be floating. And the only shape shape boyant enough to float something as heavy as the earth is a triangle, so we know the earth to be a triangle.

 

Also I'm poor, so anyone know where I can do it for free?

[The Sloth]

host it yourself 

[BristolBrick]

I have an old laptop spare, but how do I get a domain free?

[Enderman]

You won't be able to get the domain for free.

[KuJoe]

Domains should always be purchased, if you get one for free then you are not the owner of it and if by chance your website starts making money or gathering traffic you can kiss that domain goodbye.

No domain is free, nobody hosts for free.

[LtStaffel]

Ugh you all

 

Try weebly and get a .tk

Joke websites are not really worth the trouble, but get a weebly and a .tk domain

Unlikely to work and you don't want ports open to a home network

yeah but if it takes off then spend the $10 @ domain.com for a .com and if it got taken in the meanwhile then you can make your url slightly different but still relevant

There are some that are free, but are severely limited.

He said "trinagleearth.com", maybe you didn't read that part?

[manikyath]

your cheapest bet other than something like wix would be hostgator which appareantly love to advertise "hosting for a penny"

i guess he already concluded .com aint gonna happen.

[BristolBrick]

I'm using weebly, if it is good I might move to something not free that is better.

Half true, no .com domain is free but there are people that host websites for free.

He wants a .com domain, which he won't find for free.

[PeachyUwUSenpai]

Answer to both of you is this:

I did read that part; but I also know a .com is not worth it and won't happen and therefore suggested a way to at least get a domain other than site.weebly.com or whatever free websites will give you.

Go to GoDaddy and purchase a domain. Go ahead and use IIS, a program included with Windows, to host a web server. That's what I'm doing and it works great. You'll need to port forward though, and if you can't do that, then you could be out of luck.

If you chose to host yourself, either with IIS or a linux box, you'd need either a Static IP address or to use a Dynamic DNS Service. Hosting it yourself, I'd HIGHLY recommend using Cloudflare as it'll hide your actual IP address. If not, I used to use 000webhost.com until I got my Dedicated Server.
