How-to guide
How to host a website for free.
From an empty account to a live, secured site — no prior hosting experience needed.
Create your free account
Sign up with an email and password on the Free plan — no card, no verification call.
Pick your domain
Choose a free subdomain on .co4.in, .c0m.in or .cooo.in, or point a domain you already own.
Open cPanel
Log in to your dashboard and launch cPanel — this is where files, databases and email all live. New to it? See the cPanel for beginners guide.
Upload your site or install an app
Use File Manager or FTP to upload static files, or open Softaculous to one-click install WordPress, Joomla or Drupal.
Turn on SSL
From the SSL/TLS section of cPanel, issue a free certificate — it activates automatically once your domain resolves.
Check it's live
Visit your domain with https:// in front. If the padlock shows, you're done — the site is live and secured.
Common snags
If something doesn't work
Domain
Site not loading yet
DNS changes can take up to a few hours to propagate. If you just connected a domain, give it time before troubleshooting further.
SSL
Padlock not showing
SSL issuance runs after DNS resolves. Re-run the SSL step in cPanel once the domain is confirmed live.
