Have 2 domains but no hosting

Hello,
I have 2 domains in my ownership and I have an account on hostgator but I'm not able to purchase their service anymore because PayPal has been disabled in my country and I don't have a credit card either. When I apply for a credit card, they ask for the appointment letter (if you are employed) or 2 year tax return statements (if you're an entrepreneur). I've been in IM for the past 1 year and have reached this dead end and don't know what to do from here. Can anyone provide me with a solution or at least suggest a reliable free host.

  • what type website your are planning to start ?
    • [1] reply
    • The general site, offering quality content and collecting email addresses to build a list.

      I can receive payments via paypal, I can't shop online with it.
  • You can use your domains with free hosts, I am not involved in these, but I know Google's Blogger is one example where it seems as long as you have worthwhile content and don't run an outright store they tolerate you activity.

    I see people using that 000hosting?

    With the right affiliate or CPA offer you could advertise with flyers or billboards, when people type in your domain it could foward to the offer with your affiliate link.
  • My question is are you planning on making a profit from the site?? if so how are you going to get paid...

    I think I would work on the paypal thing and try to find a solution, so when and if you start making money you can "get" it....
  • I love hostgator and recommend it highly expecially to newbies. Once you have a system and it works, you just have to reproduce it and scale it up to make more money.

    Can you get a prepaid credit card in your country? Then you could just put what you need on the card to pay hostgator each month.

    Also, you can get a debit card via paypal for your account and then once you have it, use your paypal card as your payment card for hostgator.

    Good luck.
  • Couldn't you host the domains on a server in your home country? That way, it wouldn't matter if PayPal had been disabled.

    Yes.

    I can tell you a little about 5 reliable, professional free hosts.

    Please excuse my not typing it out again: it's in this thread, and if you use the forum's search function to look up "Byethost", "000webhost", "Weebly" and so on, you'll find plenty of further discussion and recommendations.

    Don't listen to people telling you that all free hosting is necessarily unreliable and unprofessional: many other threads discussing this matter are full of that, but they're just repeating urban myths of internet marketing. The reality is that (because of the way many of these companies promote their other, paid-for services, using the quality and reliability their free services as a promotion-tool) some free hosting is actually considerably more reliable and professional than quite a lot of low-priced paid hosting.

  • Apart from the ones mentioned above by Alexa, there is also Wix, Webs and Lifeyo. There are many other similar services on the web. You are at an advantage with the fact that you already have a domain.

  • Payment mode is a problem with some countries, being offshore hosting we generally don't face any problems as we have 5-6 payment gateway option for web hosting customers. Check my contact Info for our website name.
