Many people think that DNS Name server setup and URL forwarding are same.
And most of them opt to URL forwarding just because it is simple to set up.
So, here is the difference between URL forwarding and DNS Name server support for you to decide which is better for you:

URL forwarding:
If your URL is too long or it is a sub-domain, you can use this service and redirect
to your URL using this.
If you choose URL Hiding, you can hide real address.
But, using this service you cannot change the URLs of remaining pages or sub-domains.
How URL forwarding is used to hide real address:


DNS Name server:
Using this service, you can have the same domain for every pagein your website.
It is the main difference between URL forwarding and DNS.
To setup this, you need to have DNS support and Name servers.
Name servers are like Ex: ns1.hostname.com

In my last post, I have listed some of the free domain services.
But what I forget to mention is, how to earn yourself some good money from the services.
Rather I should say from one of those services.



All you have to do is., go to the co.cc website.
Then register yourself, you should take note of the fact that there is only one account permitted
per household.

Ok, now after registering and comfirming your account through the email, take a look
at the top of the page. There you will find label "REFERRALS". Click over it.
And again register yourself for the service. And you are done.
They give you a unique ID. And a link and HTML label code to paste into your websites.
They pay a good amount of $0.10 per free referral.

Because it is free to register a domain, usually a lot of people would like to join it.
So take this to your advantage and earn some money.
Cheers..!

There are a very few free domain providers,
It is very hard to find a service providing free domain name.
When compared to free web hosting services, the free domain services are almost negligible.

But do not worry, there are few domain providers who provide good services for free.
Here are the short-listed domain providers that I have personally tested.

co.cc



It is the best free domain hosting service I've ever o across..
it gives you full DNS controls and it also provides free URL redirection
The best part about this service is you can get 2 free domains from one account..
The registration process is very simple.
And if you want to register more than 2 domains, just donate a sum of $10 and
hurray you can register another 100 domains..!




c-o.in

Next is www.c-o.in
C-O.IN is a cost free and Ad free URL redirection service allowing anyone with a website to register a free sub-domain and redirect it to their real URL

the available names are
* yourname.c-o.in
* yourname.c-o.cc
* yourname.coz.in
* yourname.cq.bz


co.nr



That is Free of co.nr free domain name. Plus No ads at all, free URL redirection (free URL forwarding), free URL cloaking & masking, path forwarding. - Free short url redirect!

However you must link back to their website on the first page of your website.

How to create a free website...
yup, 100% free with a domain name....
I know there are many sites which provide free site builder along with
sub domains and hosting, but most of them place their ads
Here I will explain how to get a free website with out any ads

so here is the step by step basic procedure to create a website yourself..
It is kind of cool to have a website on ur name..
lets start...


Before I start, there are few things that u should know about a website...

A website's name or u can call URL is called a domain..
ex: www.orkut.com, www.google.com

There are many free sites which provide you with free sub-domain..
but sub-domains dont look professional...
Ex: yoursite.0fees.net, yoursite.tripod.com

Web Hosting: You need some place to keep your site's content and distribute it to people
who visit your site.
The place at which u upload/place your content is called web hosting.
There are numerous web hosting sites around.

Bandwidth: many free web hosting sites have a bandwidth limit per month...
Bandwidth is the limit of data or content a site can distribute over the net...
If u exceed the bandwidth limit, ur site will be unavailable for the rst of the month...

Now lets go to the real thing...

First step: you would like to sign up for a free webhosting account...
These are few of the free web hosting services...

I will discuss about the free hosting services in my next post


www.001webs.com


http://0fees.net


www.110mb.com/


www.awardspace.com/free_web_hosting.html


www.byethost.com/


http://freehostia.com/free_hosting.html


www.free-space.net/



I always use 0fees.net not because it is the best, but i like it personally.
After registering there..they will provide u with a sub domain but why would we use it,
we are looking for a free domain ;)


Step 2: Now you have to register your free domain name..
you can even keep your own name as the domain..
Ex: Srikar-coolchap.co.cc etc

co.cc


co.cc is the best free domain hosting service I've ever come across..
it gives you full DNS controls and it also provides free URL redirection
The best part about this service is you can get 2 free domains from one account..
The registration process is very simple.


Chek if the domain is available or not here

Just go over there and register your free domain...
after registering there, just login to your account and click on GETTING A NEW DOMAIN on the top...



after that step, u will see a message like this..
Please set up the domain in 48 hours.If not, we will cancel the registration.

(Domain Settings -> Manage Domain -> Select your domain -> Set Up)
click on set up button and minimise the page...

now open ur web hosting account, and click on something which reads like domains/addon domains
click on it(names and menu styles change with different web hosting sites, but the domains menu you can find very easily)



There enter your domain name and click ok or whatever option is given there...

Now go back to your co.cc domain account page which u earlier minimised...





Here, select the first option and a menu comes down..
Name Server 1 :
Name Server 2 :

Name servers are provided in the step where you earlier entered ur domain name in the web hosting account...
Now click set up and u get a message saying Your change has been submitted.
thats it, now just wait for few hours until ur domain is accepted...

In the meanwhile, you can add your stuff for ur new website...
Just go to your web hosting profile..
There goto-->file manager--> your site directory...
Just upload ur stuff there and save it...

There are many free web designing tools that are available to build ur site..
Just download one of them and now ur a website owner...

Thanks.. ;)
