How To Make a Website – Blog

Create a Website for Free

A typical mindset is “I want to create a website for free”, so how do I create it? We all love free things true, but does these free things really work? No it doesn’t, especially if you are looking for a share in the multiple billion dollar internet marketing pie.
 
The problem here is that…..you like it or not….the internet market is ruled by US, others come a distant second. From Indian perspective the adverse exchange rate with US Dollars acts as a deterent for spending on the right tools and resources to create a website that works. Take an example of a decent web design software….it costs $200…which is equal to Rs.9000 in India and considered a fair amount of money to invest on-line.

Let me take my experience……The other day I received a querry from one individual in India that he want to create a free website and if I can help him to create one. I do get several querries like these almost every day.

Now when I write them back that if I do create a website for them free they still need to buy the domain name and hosting, I religiously urge them to choose the right domain as well as the right web hosting and mostly provide them the choice of these companies. The cost of hosting varies from $60 to $90 a year.

Obviously these people never reply back as they do believe in the concept of “free lunch minus acidity“. We don’t have any other option other than wishing these people good luck.

People don’t really apply their mind….as why will some body open a charity for others to make money? People also don’t understand that going behind these “free” elements in internet market, eventually will make them spend more time and anything else, and if you equate time with money then you know what I mean.

Some people still urgue that there are free hosting providers like www.00freehost.com who charges $0 for 100mb space and 1mb bandwidth, still you need to buy the domain for $10 (or Rs.450). Now if you understand the technical space configuration you’ll know that the space is extremely limited and it might hep you to get just few pages on-line. Can you do business with a 5 page website and 10 visitors a day to your website?

So What’s the Bottom Line?

If you have plans to create a website for business in any form….please…please…please never think of creating a free website. You might end up wasting your valuable time free on this. Of course if you have other intension of casual website just to have a web presence for fun or casual personal page then it is fine to have some sort of these free stuffs.
