Step 1: Choose a Free Website Builder
Here are some platforms that offer free website hosting (some with free subdomains):
- WordPress.com (Free Plan)
- Free subdomain:
yoursite.wordpress.com
- Limited customization but includes free themes.
- Wix (Free Plan)
- Free subdomain:
yoursite.wixsite.com
- Drag-and-drop builder with free templates.
- Weebly (Free Plan)
- Free subdomain:
yoursite.weebly.com
- Simple drag-and-drop editor.
- Blogger (by Google)
- Free subdomain:
yoursite.blogspot.com
- Simple blogging platform.
- InfinityFree (Free Hosting + Free Subdomain)
- Free hosting with a free subdomain (e.g.,
yoursite.epizy.com
). - Supports WordPress installation.
- 000WebHost (by Hostinger)
- Free hosting with a free subdomain.
- Supports WordPress.
Step 2: Get a Free Domain (Optional)
If you want a custom free domain (not a subdomain), try:
- Freenom (offers free domains like
.tk
,.ml
,.ga
,.cf
,.gq
) - Visit: https://www.freenom.com
- Search for a free domain and register it.
- Link it to your hosting (if using InfinityFree or 000WebHost).
⚠️ Note: Free domains may have limitations (e.g., ownership issues). For long-term use, consider a paid domain later.
Step 3: Install a Free Premium Theme
If you’re using WordPress (via InfinityFree, 000WebHost, or WordPress.com), you can install free “premium-like” themes:
- Go to WordPress Dashboard → Appearance → Themes → Add New.
- Search for free premium themes like:
- Astra
- OceanWP
- Neve
- Hestia
- Sydney
- GeneratePress (free version)
- For Extra Premium Themes:
- Websites like ThemeGrill, Colorlib, and JustFreeThemes offer free versions of premium themes.
Step 4: Publish Your Website
- Customize your theme, add content, and publish.
- If using a free domain from Freenom, connect it to your hosting via DNS settings.
Bonus: Free SSL (HTTPS Security)
- Cloudflare (free plan) offers SSL.
- Some free hosts (InfinityFree, 000WebHost) provide free SSL.
Limitations of Free Plans
- Ads may appear on your site (on Wix, Weebly, etc.).
- Limited storage & bandwidth (upgrade later if needed).
- Free domains may not be reliable long-term.
Final Recommendation
For a completely free setup, use:
- Hosting: InfinityFree or 000WebHost
- Domain: Freenom (
.tk
,.ml
, etc.) - CMS: WordPress (with free premium theme)
