Build you own website without HTML knowledge

Yes!! You read it right. You can now create a website of your own with minimun or no HTML knowledge. It doesn't get any better than this for a starter who wants to own a website without spending a penny. First of all you should know a little about webhosting and domain name before you start reading this tutorial because those are the two core things you need to run the website.

I hope you understand well about webhosting and domain now. So lets start.



Step-1: Goto free domain service of co.cc and check if the domain you want is available and register yourself there. Check the image below for reference.





One you did that, it asks you to set up the domain. Click on set up and keep that tab aside.

Step-2: You can buy a webhosting place or use free hosting services. For beginers I recommend to use a free service.
0fees.net is the best of them. So, I highly recommend you to use it. Register yourself for the free hosting service and login into you account(cpanel).
There you will see many options. I will explain all about them in my next post. You dont need to bother about them now. Click on 'Addon domains' options, there you are asked to enter your domain. Enter the domain name you just created at co.cc and click ADD DOMAIN.



What we did here is creating a folder for the website's content on the hosting site. If you check carefully, you can see DNS server names at the bottom. These are used to connected or bridge our Domain with Webhosting place. So take note of it.
For 0fees.net they are: ns1.0fees.net and ns2.0fees.net.
Each hosting site have its own DNS names.

Step-3: Now, go back to the co.cc tab where you need to set up the domain. When you click on set up, you will see some options like this:



There select Name servers and enter the DNS names(name servers) (ns1.0fees.net and ns2.0fees.net) we obtained from 0fees.net and click on save the changes.
Voila! You are done with the difficult part!

Step-4: You can close the co.cc tab and go back to your hosting place's cpanel. There click on site builder and select your domain name. You will be guided there step by step by the automatic wizard. You don't need to know anything about HTML.

Have fun. I hope this tutorial is helpful for you.
You can feel free to ask any help :)
