Free Domain names

Now domain names with .com, .org, .net, .in, .us is what you can't get absolutely free. Maybe you can get them free with some paid webhosting plans or something like that.
Instead there are several other domain names which can be grabbed absolutely free. This are like .co.cc, .co.nr, .tk and many more. Many of this does not exactly offer a domain name but instead a sub-domain name. For example in yourname.co.nr, nr is the TLD and co is a domain and yourname is its sub-domain. But since it does not appear as a sub-domain, so its absolutely fine.
Some of these are:
1. DotTK providing .tk

2. CO.CC providing .co.cc

3. CO.NR providin .co.nr

4. CYDOTS providing .net.ms and more

5. JOYNIC providing .it.tt and more

How to choose any webhost

OK Now you know about some webhosts which provide free webhosting services. Get list of more at:
Free Webhosts Power Search

But how to judge which is the best for your purpose? The question "Which is the best?" depends on your usage and skill levels.

Before signing up for a Free Webhost look for following services in the same order as given (High priority to low priority):

1. Should provide sufficient webspace (above 100 MB).

2. Should have PHP or ASP. Though PHP is preferred since almost all Open Source Content Management Systems (CMS) are build for PHP.

3. Should hava a Database Management System. Preferrably MySQL for PHP and MSSQL for ASP. This will required if you use any CMS or Catalogue applications.

4. It will be good if it provides emails since this will create emails like yourname@yourdomain.com which looks more professional with regard to the usage of that domain.

5. It will be an added advantage if it supports Custom Error Pages, Script Installer (Elefante or Fantastico).

Also the Power Search at Free-Webhosts.com give a proper rating of the services provided by and Free Web Host. Visit how they are rated on Free-Webhosts.com for more information.

Free webhost discussion

Lets today discuss about the various free webhosts available on the internet.

Normally webhosts charge a considerable amount against their services. Creating a webhosting company needs much money. This webhosts earn their money by charging you for it.

But there are some webhosts which offer their services for free. They have alternative ways of making income out of your webhosting. Like some add advertisements on your website, some ask you to link back to their site and some give advertisements on Error 404 page. They better know how they are earning and so let them handle that part.

Some of the webhosts I found good are:
1. Free Hostia

2. Awardspace

3. x10hosting

4. Qupis

5. 110mb

Essentials for a website

So what are the necessary things required to have a website up and working. Leaving the most two important thing which is your interest and content of the website they are:

1. Webspace
2. Domain name (or a sub-domain name)

Webspace is some sort of online land where you build your building (read website). This webspace can be taken on rent from webhosts. Though some webhosts provide webspace for free since they have their own ways of making money from the service. Maybe possible some can give ads on your site in a popup or banner form.

Domain name is the name of your website, the name by which it is uniquely identified by the Internet Service Providers (ISP) of your users. For example getfreeweb.blogspot.com has .com as the TLD (Top Level Domain), blogspot as the Domain name and getfreeweb as the Sub-domain name. Domain names are not available for free but there are some free alternatives to them. For example the famous dot tk domain names. Dot tk gives you free domains like example.tk, where .tk is the TLD identifying the country Tokelau, a country in South Pacific.

With this two in hand you can have your own website.
