Howdy readers!

Iam Djds4rce aka Dayanand and the newest author to iTechYou. My hobbies are web devolopement and WebCMS so i’ll be mostly concentrating on tips regarding that.

When I started out as a developer the major problems i faced was of the domain and a free web host.And it is still the case in almost all start out prodigies. As I did not want to invest money so early and also did not want a subdomain for website I was in search of something proish. Here’s what I found.

Free host:Initially, when starting out on a blog/website there is no problem of bandwidth. Bandwidth is nothing but how many times your websites can be viewed(just an idea).Webhosts usually provide bandwidth/month. In the start as you have no much visitors there is no need to worry and hence go for a free host. Now which  free host do i choose? This is totally a matter of personal choice. I used freehostia.com which did not get me any problems. There are many others which you can google up or ask your webdevoloper friends. Once u have chosen a free host its time to think of the domain name.

Free Domain:A blog or a website a long link like aaa.freehostia.com or something similar is the last thing you want.What to do to get a short and sexy domain?  Head to http://www.co.cc.Now let me explain how it works.Co.cc provides domians with names like djds4rce.co.cc for free and it charges money for domains with more demand like tech.co.cc. Once registered the domain can be used to redirect to your site (which is something like aaa.freehostia.com) or you can use it as an actual domain. DO to the DNS settings in your co.cc control panel and copy the DNS server link provided by ur host and tada we have got ourself a free host +free domain short and sweet

Note:

1.Once you have gained enough traffic and you think you are ready for some investment you can either upgrade to a paid account or shift to some other paid host.

2.If any point of time you feel you need an actual domain (.com or .net) the co.cc domain can be used to redirect to your present domain so you dont lose any traffic.

Watch out for my next post i’ll write about setting up a CMS and on how to manage a proish Blog/Portal/Forum etc…
