Free Hosting?

Domains are not free, hosting is not free. If you're looking for a free service, expect a limited experience.

 

You can use a free TLD like .tk, but you do not have legal rights to the domain. You can also get a year of free hosting from Amazon AWS EC2, but you need to know your way around a Linux terminal. Note that domains are very cheap, you can get most TLDs for under $10/year from registrars like NameSilo.

I am looking for a free hosting service. There are things like blogspot,wix,weebly and wordpress. But they add their name after the domain, I dont want that. So any free hosting + domain service?

You could try Netlify for free hosting and they let you use a custom domain although you will have to pay for the domain name but usually that is really cheap eg £10 a year for most .com domains from google domains or namecheap. I use google domains and netlify for my website and it works great.

My Laptop: A MacBook Air 

My Desktop: Don’t have one 

My Phone: An Honor 8s (although I don’t recommend it)

My Favourite OS: Linux

My Console: A Regular PS4

My Tablet: A Huawei Mediapad m5

Netlify requires you to be a bit "techy" to set it up.

it looks like OP is looking for a WYSIWYG website builder which Netlify most definitely is not

 

But, otherwise, yes I'd highly recommend Netlify, it's excellent.

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

You just need to know some html and css and how to make a GitHub account.

which is what made me think you wanted something along those lines.

 

If you're happy to build your site by hand then go ahead and set up Netlify.
