Hi all i have purchased a domain name.. and also a manage DNS service.. I wish to use some free host to host my site for now.. How can i set my site using a Domain + Free hosting service
sure..u can do it. but you must change the dns first. login to yr domain name acount - find the dns part. Fill the dns with the dns of yr hosting account. for the better understanding u cld go to this blog learntohost.blogspot.com
Most free hosts will not actually host your domain so the best way to use your domain with a free host would be to use "domain forwading." Simply forward your domain to the main page of your free site and set it for "Stealth Forwarding" or "Masking" depending on what it says in your control panel (they are both the same). When Stealth or Masking is used your domain name will show in the address bar instead of the free host URL. When you log into your control panel you should see "Domain Forwarding" as one of the options. With domain forwarding there is no need to change the name servers. One thing to think about...... you usually get what you pay for which makes free hosting not really free (-: Most free sites will have their advertisements on your page or use some other method which usually takes away from your site so they can earn their hosting fee. Best of success with your site!
thanks for your informative posts.. i am planning to buy hosting soon.. don't have balance in my paypal now.. So i just wish to set it up now.. Is there any free web hosts that will actually host my domain.
Actually domain registrar can rovide you free web hosting service. But they will put an 750X60 AD in the top of your webpages. I suggest you transfer your domain to a domain registar who can provide free web hosting service. I find powerhoster can provide $1.99 .info domain with free web hosting, also $6.99 .com domain registration with free web hosting.
