I am new to domains and i don't know how i can host a domain. I got a domain from a contest. It is in my namecheap account but i don't know how i can host it. can anyone help me ?

Hi There,

You need WebHosting to host a domain. You can either pay for it, or get it for free (Free usually requires you put their ads on your pages) I recommend you go to FreeWebSpace.net/forums and click on the free hosting offers, There are many there. If you are looking for paid hosting, I own a paid hosting company, Just PM me and I can work something out for you.

you can get a free hosting from the link below. at sign up it requires you to create a subdomain, but after you logged into the cpanel you can add your domain and it will work just great.

Just don't forget that paid hosting is usually worth the money over free hosting.

I'm using Mydosty's 99 cent package right now and I'm pretty happy overall.

I would go with someone like BlueHost.com because they are such a big company with a flawless record. Or, If you pick right, Free Hosting would be ok.

You can select a host which suits all your hosting needs.I advice you not to go with free hosting companies, instead you can try with cheap hosts.I found a host with affordable rates somewhere here in this forum that is indyahozting.com.Not only this host,there are many quality hosting providers available in the market.

I would search around and post in forums. For web hosting, places like freewebspace.net is a great place. It has reviews and listings of thousands of hosts and what they offer. They even have a search feature.

Alternatively, you can host it on your own server, but this isn't recommended unless you have the time (and money) to work on it. I've used my own server for a proxy network before and it worked really well.

This is generally a horrible idea. You have to pay for power, bandwidth, and make sure your server is running 24/7. Whereas you can buy hosting for a few bucks a month elsewhere, hosting on your own serer usually require a special connection from your ISP costing hundreds of dollars per month.

You first need to buy hosting or use a free host (BE CAREFUL!) and then you will just move your DNS records to the right area. It's a long story but if you purchase hosting or use free hosting from a web host they should be able to assist you best.
