In this article i'm going to show you how to create a static website for completely free. These are below steps.Basically when I say free it means i'm using free hosting space and free domain name. Please refer this link if  you don't know what is domain name & hosting. For Hosting : Create a blogspot with  https://www.blogger.com .  By default blogspot provide some templates but also you can upload templates from site like this  Link . For Domain Name : For free domain name we can use .tk domain . BUT I NEVER SUGGEST TO USE .TK domains as you can use this domain at max for 6 months . after this if you want to use the same one you have to pay alot. so if you planning for a website for your own NEVER EVER use .tk domain . its better pay around 600 rupees for a domain for your own profile. Once you are done with above two you can refer this link   to link Hosting & Domain Space. A sample site which is created out of this method : www.vaneeswaran.com

To create a website you need two things, ·                           Domain Name ·                          Hosting Space Domain Name: ·        In a nut shell domain name is similar your house address / phone number, its an unique entry where people use it to reach you. Eg : www.vaneeswaran.com .To can purchase a domain from a domain name service   (DNS) provider like godaddy , bigrock paying around 500 rupees (may change based on time / service provide / offer).Yearly once you have to renew your site. ·          You can even buy domain name for free but the extension will be ending in .tk.               Link : http://www.dot.tk/     But I will never ever recommend this .tk domain’s as you can hold only these domain for at max 6 months after that you have to pay a lot to renew. So only use .tk domains if you are planning for a site for within 1 or 2 months and NEVER use that site anymore. Also if you use .tk then you cannot use google Ad Sense. Hosting Space:

Once you have the both mentioned below you can follow the below steps: ·        A domain name ( www.vaneeswaran.com ) ·        A blog spot  ( www.vaneeswaran.blogspot.com ) Refer : This Link if you don't know what is domain name / DNS or hosting space Step 1: Enabling Redirect in blogger: ·        Go to blogger and choose your blog Settings -> Basic -> Publishing -> Setup a third-party URL for your blog. Add your domain name and save it : ·        Once you click Save you can see the below error , don’t close the window Step 2: Update CNAME in DNS Provider eg: Godaddy ·        Login to your Go daddy account -> Select your domain -> DNS Manager : ·        Check if there is any existing CNAME (Type) with www (Name) entry if so then edit the value, else add a new entry with the data you have noted in blog spot and save it.
