Hi guys .

Today we are going to see how you can make a free website using a free hosting provider .

So after watching this video , you will be able to make any kind of website just like this using drag and drop .

Your website can have any design you want and you can add your own pages and your content like this and everything is going to be completely free .

Now , before we start creating a site , first , let's see the two types of websites , we are going to build a static website or a dynamic website .

A static website is where you provide information or content to your visitors and your visitors need not log in to your website or create an account on your site .

Examples of a static website are blogs and company websites which simply have a lot of static pages which provides information to your visitors and users need not interact with the website like logging in purchasing products or creating accounts , etcetera .

On a dynamic website .

Users can create their accounts log into it and make purchases .

Examples of dynamic websites are e commerce sites , online course websites and membership websites where users can interact more closely with your website .

In this video , we're going to create a static website using a free hosting .

You can build a company website or a blog for free of cost .

If you're looking to create a dynamic website with e-commerce features , you can watch this video .

So to launch a website , we are going to do two steps .

The first step is to download a software called Bit NAMI Wordless .

This is the software which is going to allow us to run words on our computer .

So to download it , let's go to our browser and then search for Benami wordpress .

Now click the first link and it'll take you to this page .

Once we install the software wordpress will be installed on a computer .

So let's open the file we have downloaded .

Click , ok .

Now click next and again , click next , then I can click next here and you will reach this page .

Ok .

So this is the page where we are going to enter our log in details of our local worker site .

So here enter your name and your email address , then enter the user name and password for wordpress .

So this is the place where you can control your website .

Now , let's go to our site .

Just go here and like was it said here , you can see that we have launched a site locally on a computer , which means it can be seen only by you and cannot be accessed by anyone .

So now to allow everyone to access your site , you need to make your site live on the internet .

So let's go to part two of this tutorial where we see how you can make your local site into a live site .

So to make your local site into a live site .

We need to export our local site and import it on L So every time when you make the changes on your side , you need to export a file and upload it or notify only then your changes will be displayed on the live website .

So to export the file , we can now go to step two which is to install a plug in called simply static .

Once you've added a new page to your menu .

OK .

So once you've got your domain , now , how do you connect this domain with your website ?

So next , let's see how you can connect this domain with your website .

Once you have added the details , click change name servers .

Now , if you go to and click done here , you can see that the DNS has been added , which means we have not successfully connected our domain with our website .

Now , if you open a new tab and enter our domain name , which is magical builder dot com , then press enter .

You can see that we've got a website which we updated .

OK .

Now , if we go to our service page , you can see the page which we have created .

And if you go to our contact page , you can see that we have a default contact form .

Now , let's say a Vita tries to contact you , fills up this form and click , send message .

You can see that we have got an error message which says page not found .

This is because we are creating a static website which cannot collect the data of the visitors from our site .

Now , if you want to collect data from your visitors , you need to add a new contact form to your site .

So next , let's see how you can add a new contact form to your site .

So to add the new contact form , just go to your local site and go to the contact page .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

So to remove the form , let's click , edit to the element or now scroll down right , click on the blue pencil and then click delete .

Now , as you can see , the default contact form has been deleted .

Once you have deleted the form , just go here , search for HTML and then drag this element and drop it here .

Now to add a new contact form , we need to enter a code here .

So to get the code , just go to the video you're watching right now and click this link and it will take you to this page here .

You can see that we have given a code .

Now this is the code which will help us to add a new contact form .

As you can see , the new contact form has been added here .

Now , if we click update and click here up , you can see the new contact form which we just added .

OK ?

So now we have successfully added the new contact form to our site .

Now to make our contact form to appear on our live site just like we did before , we need to export the file and upload it on file .

So to do that , let's go to our dashboard .

Then click generate static files and the file will be generated .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

Now , click here and download the file , then let's upload the file on net file .

So let's go there and click deploys , then drag this file and drop it here and it will be uploaded .

Ok .

Once you have done that , now , a new contact form will appear on our live site .

So to check that let's go to our live website here .

You can see the default contact form .

Now , if you click refresh , you can see that we have got a new contact form which we just added .

Ok .

Now let's check how it works .

So just like a vista would do , let's fill up this form and click submit .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

As you can see the form has been submitted once the form is submitted , how can you see the details which have been submitted ?

Now , if you go to net and go to farms and click here here , you can see the details of the visor and their message .

Ok .

So that's it guys .

This is how you can make a website for free .
