Hosting your own website
Everybody wants to be able to host their own website, as well as have a personalized domain. Problem is, not everyone can buy or afford such services. Of course there are sites that offer free blogs and even free hosting. But most just offer a subdomain and give very limited permissions. Some even force ads to show up on the site, which can be very unsightly.
Good news is, there are still sites that offer free domains and hosting which are at par with paid hosting. I have setup a site using these free services and so far so good. The site i set up is www.hablon.co.cc. It is a site that i had made for a project during my college days. The domain is free and provided by co.cc. The hosting is also free and provided by 000webhost.
