Hey there,

Can someone give me a quick rundown of sites to use when making your own WP site.

I need it to be completly free though. I don't expect THAT many visitors that I need hardcore hosting. I just need

-free hosting plan
-free domain option (if not included in the above)
- maybe a website builder?

I hope you see where I'm coming from and lend me a quick helping hand.

Thanks!

I of course come to you guys first because I wanna know the BEST products not googles top results

    Nothing comes free nowadays.

    You may try building it on web2.0, the CMS is free.
    or try co.cc

    Ever notice that people who spend money on WSO, memberships and courses, are always complaining about being broke and not making any money ?

    They should have bought ASSETS instead.

      Sure, but then you can't have ads up, so wouldn't do much good if you try to make some money from your site.

      To the OP. Nothing comes for free. While there is a hosting that you can get a free account, I have no idea how good it is. Do a search for byethost. A free domain name, well, that is never going to happen, at least not one with a good extension like .com, .net or .org. Either look for a coupon to get a good deal, godaddy often has .com domains for a dollar or two, or suck it up, be a marketer and invest in your business.

      Use the link I mention above, but DO NOT base your business on one, as soon as you generate some revenue, drop that domain and BUY a .Com, .Net, .Org.

      If you are thinking of trying to rank the site on Google, don't even bother with a free domain because you will lose your rank as soon as you drop it. However if your using it to forward to offers and placing it in YouTube video descriptions or similar then you can swap that out with a paid domain at any time.

      Invest in your business and get a paid domain, they are peanuts anyway.

    You get what you pay for. I mean, it's not free to run quality & reliable services. So you want free hosting, on servers that cost money to manage, a domain that costs money AND a website builder...all for free... How about support? Should it be admins that work for and has 99.999999% uptime too?
