I have a domain name that I have paid for. But I refuse to pay for hosting.
Could someone tell me a good FREE hosting provider that will allow me to link my information from my hosting provider to my domain name? In addition, can someone help me how to do this.
Thanks,
Benjamin

I'm not one for suggesting free hosts as I don't use them but I will supply some info for hooking your domain to your web space.
When you acquire your free web space you will be given the companies default name servers (DNS). If not you can contact the company for them.
The site you purchased your domain from should have a control panel where you can manage your domains etc... here you should find an option to edit the name servers of your domain. Choose "custom name servers", then input the ones your host gave you.
Then you must go to your hosting contol panel. Find the option called 'Addon domain'. Here you must enter the domain you purchased and click 'ok'.
After that, it should work. If not, allow a few hours before contacting your host about the problem.
- Please note, propagation of the domain (changing of the name servers) can take a little while...
- Also, do this in the order I wrote it otherwise it won't work!
