Well if you are reading this post and following the procedures and instructions I have given it simply means your search is over.
My dot tk is a free domain name provider without any hidden charges or ads which makes it the perfect choice for new web owners and bloggers.
Let's start with the basics
to register your domain name and host it, you need
- A laptop(preferably)
- A tablet or an Android device
- An iPhone or whatever device you browse with...
STEP ONE
registering your domain name
The first step is to register your domain name. To do this you are going to need an e-mail address (you can get one of these from companies like Google or Yahoo [other email providers are available], click Here or Here to set one up) as we need you to register our domain.
To register a domain, first, open a new tab in your browser and go to www.dot.tk, after choosing the domain of your choice you would see something like this
As you can see, I am registering Napkins.tk (as there is a napkin on my desk for some reason).
If you don't, and it says "Domain Name Already Taken," or if it says
something about it being a special domain, choose a different one.You want to sign up, so enter all of the required information. Where it says "Use your new domain," simply find a random image on Google images and copy-paste the image location into the redirect, then register as we are going to change the DNS of the domain later on.
To register, click "Sign Up" and click the service you want to sign up with, such as Facebook, Twitter, or Google.
Next login to your social network account, don't worry none of your credentials will be exploited. You can sign up using your e-mail account and password as shown below
After that you should see something like this:
And that's your domain registered. Please note: it may take a while
before you can actually go to your domain (up to 2 days or so).STEP TWO
hosting your web
Now, do not close the initial page. Instead, open another tab and navigate to hourb.com or www.000webhost.com(but can't discuss this one now).
When on that page, click sign up
Fill out the required information. When you are done with the process, check back here with the next step.
We want to select "Free Hosting" as opposed to Super Freemium with ads as shown below:
After filling out all the required information and creating the site, press "Switch" on your domain in the control panel.
You will then get this message:
This means that you have to point your .tk domain to the nameservers of your WebHost.Therefore, you need to go to accounts and click "Details" (both are circled in the image below):
You should end up with this:
So you need to go back to our .dot.tk tab and modify our domain.
We need to enter in the Name Servers like so:
And press "Save Changes."Now, we should be able to go to our domain and see the result:
Again, it may take up to 2 days to actually get the domain working. Don't worry though; in the meantime, you can build your website using HTML, PHP or if you don't know any of those languages, use a package like WordPress or Joomla.
It's really that simple.
Enjoy your new domain and unlimited webspace!
Social networking sites like Facebook have a spam filter in place to try to reduce the number of phishing sites, so you may need to enter a code into Facebook to share your new site.
