Free Domain, Hosting, and SSL with AI Website Builder
The video explains how to obtain free hosting, a free domain, and a free SSL certificate. It also details how to use AI to build a digital marketing agency website without any cost. This eliminates the need for coding.
Many online resources often suggest purchasing hosting, SSL, and a domain. This video introduces a resource that offers these services for free.
The video aims to guide viewers through each step, starting with explanations of hosting, domains, and SSL. It also showcases an AI-built website sample before demonstrating the building process.
Understanding Domain, Hosting, and SSL
A domain is your website’s address, such as facebook.com or google.com. Hosting refers to a 24-hour server where all website information is stored.
Traditionally, obtaining a domain and hosting requires a purchase, but this video focuses on free resources. Popular domain and hosting providers include GoDaddy and Namecheap. The method described in the video will bypass the need to use them.
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) ensures a secure connection between a website and the browser. It encrypts the connection whenever someone visits the website.
Step-by-Step Guide to Free Hosting with Infinity Free
The video uses Infinity Free to get free hosting. The link to the website is provided in the video description. First, click on “register now” on the website.
Next, enter your email address and password, confirm that you are human, and then sign up. After signing up, verify your email by clicking the link sent to your inbox. This will redirect you to your free hosting account.
Once in your account, you can create a domain name (e.g., facebook.com or yourbusinessname.com). Click on “create now” and verify that you’re human.
Choosing Your Domain Name
When choosing a domain name, it’s advisable to use your brand name for professionalism. If you need ideas, you can consult resources like Chara for brand name suggestions.
After entering your desired brand name, select a domain extension. Then click “check availability”. If the domain name is available, it will be indicated; otherwise, a red notification will appear.
Scroll down, agree to the email consent, approve the terms, and click “create account now”. Save your account information and click “finish”. Now you have a website domain with a control panel.
Securing Your Website with Free SSL
After securing a free domain and hosting, the next step is to get a free SSL certificate. Click on the “free SSL certificate” option. If no SSL certificate is found, click on “new SSL certificate”.
Enter your domain name and click “create order”. The current destination status may initially show “not ready”. Refresh the page after a few minutes until the status changes to “ready”.
Once it is ready, click “request certificate”. After the certificate is issued, click “install SSL certificate automatically”. After installation, refresh the page until the SSL certificate is active.
Installing WordPress from the cPanel
To install WordPress, navigate to your account and click on the account name. From there, access the control panel. Scroll down to the “softwares” section and click on “softaculous app installer”.
In the Softaculous Apps Installer, find and click on WordPress, then click “install”. Change the HTTP setting to HTTPS.
This is possible because the SSL certificate has been installed. Enter the title and description for your site. Also, create an admin username and password. Finally, scroll down and click “install”.
Accessing and Customizing Your WordPress Dashboard
Once WordPress is successfully installed, click on the administrative URL at the bottom of the page. This will redirect you to the login page. Enter your username and password to access the WordPress dashboard.
The dashboard displays various installed elements on your website. WordPress allows you to drag and drop elements. You can customize the dashboard by using the screen options.
By using the screen options, you can select and untick items to show or hide them. The update section notifies you of any available updates for software or plugins.
Themes and Plugins: Enhancing WordPress Functionality
