StartingSites gives you a real live URL — completely free, no credit card required.
When you build a website on your computer, only you can see it. Web hosting is a service that stores your files on a computer connected to the internet 24/7 — called a server — so anyone in the world can visit your site at any time.
Think of it like renting a storefront. Your files are the merchandise, the server is the building, and your domain name is the street address people use to find you.
When you register a free account at StartingSites, you immediately get a live subdomain in the format yourname.startingsites.com. This is a real URL on the internet — you can share it with friends, put it on a resume, or use it to practice publishing without paying a cent.
On your computer using Notepad, you build your pages: index.html, about.html, style.css, and any images.
Using the StartingSites editor (or FTP for advanced hosting), your files are transferred from your computer to the server.
Anyone who visits yourname.startingsites.com gets your files sent to their browser, which renders them as a webpage.
Start with your free subdomain while you're learning. If you decide to take your site seriously, you can always purchase a custom domain and point it to your hosting later.
Claim your free subdomain and have your site online in minutes.
