I want to create a website for my Youtube channel, Like a type of forum, but with my videos. I do not have money so I am wondering can you make a website for free. I have seen websites like webs.com  is that a way to make a website and squarespace, but it's not free :(.

 

Can you recommend me templates to take a look at and what website to make a free website from.

You can't make websites for free if you want your own domain. The closest you can get is wordpress but that has tons of security issues

i9 25.6 GHz with NeuronThreading, 256gb 6000 MHz RAM, GTX 990 OC 3024MHz 12gb, Skeletal X99 motherboard, 1 Petabyte SSD, Fractal Design Humaniod R1 Case, Herbivore 10,000W PSU, Noctua NF16 LP Derma Cooler.

Probably the only Star Citizen player who is planning on a career in Journalism instead of piracy, mining, trading, exploration, military, station management, etc.

hmm, how is a domain? Do you need to pay monthly for it?

You usually pay for a year or you can pay for more years and get a discount. After a year then you have to renew the domain or you can lose it to someone else. Generally they are $10 a year.

look into something like blogger, or maybe even tumblr. 

Does anyone even use PCIe SSDs?

Wordpress or Blogger is good place to start. For domain its not so important yet. Unless you already have reasonable watcher base. Both Wordpress and Blogger (Google) offer domain service also. Prices of domain names depend bit from service provider but more about extension. Something like .info and .net are pretty cheap. I checked one provider which I had 2 domain few years back. There's maybe 15 extensions under $10/year.

I'm guessing you don't have any coding experience then?
If so you could use free amazon web services to host the website, a free .tk domain for the domain, but you'd have to manually code the website yourself (or use a WYSIWYG what you see is what you get website editor, but they aren't super fantastic).

I love all technology. The perfection of macs for my designer side, and the hardware and fun of tinkering on the of the pc side. We can have it all, just not at the same time.

Just remembered another way. Search for free website templates. They are usually one page but easy to customize with some knowledge of html coding. I use Komposer (if you know NVU...) to do it. You can then upload them to any ftp.
