These are the five steps to create a website for free. The best way to achieve anything is to have a plan of action with a purpose. I will give you a step-by-step process on how to research domain name, find a free domain, free hosting, build web pages and upload to your server so people can see your site.
Step 1: You will go to Google and type in "Google Keyword Tool". This is where you will search for relevant keywords to for your domain name. If you just pick some random name that nobody searches for your site may never be seen. So type in the keywords you want to use for your site name make sure there is at least 100,000 searches a month and create a list of ten or twenty just in case some a taken. Use words or phrases that will be related to what your site is about.
Step 2: Go to co.cc or freedomain.co.nr to look for a free domain name. Sign up with one of these companies and once you found a name that's available for you to use.
