New website domain needed - free of cost

[stephenterry]

Two day ago, I had the misfortune for my Weebly website to be closed down without notice, which was annoying. I had been using it for years on a no-fee basic basis, just posting on a blog page. Presumably, they only want subscribers.

 

Anyone know any other free website   - or even how to create one, with a no-cost domain. Note: I use the internet on a daily basis but the mechanics of the technology goes over my head!!  

 

All help appreciated.

The mechanical part is putting the plug in the wall, switching the computer on and using keyboard and mouse. I am sure you can handle all this.

 

Apart from that what's your idea? If you want a free service without technical hassle why don't you use existing services like forums, facebook, and other free services?

Obviously you could have your own domain and own hosting and that is not even expensive. But it's a lot more complicated then using existing services.

If it's just a personal blog might as well join the masses and migrate to Wordpress.

You can use Freenom for a free domain, just be careful and make sure to renew it. I think one of the ways the make money is buy selling back domains to previous users who forgot to renew.

 

With that domain, do as Salerno said and create your site using Wordpress.

Wordpress.com is free, but they put advertisements on your website if you do not pay.

Just checked my free Weebly accounts (have several). No problems.

You have to buy a domain once. then you can host your web site using trusted web hosting services. bluehosting is the one of the best hosting services in world. Usually you can buy a domain and host the site both from web hosting services. It's not a free, but I heard that it's optimal solution within paid variants

He doesn't "have" to, plenty of options have been provided. IMO he "should" but up to him. It's also not a guess of buying it once, it's an ongoing cost.

Sorry, have to disagree again, better to have separation between your domain name provider and your webhost.
