90000 Is it Possible to Create a Website Without Buying a Domain Name? The High Price of «Free». (Thesitewizard.com) 90001

90003 The High Price of «Free» 90004
90005
90006

90007

by Christopher Heng, thesitewizard.com 90002
I recently received an email from a visitor asking if it was possible for him to create a website
without buying a domain name. This article attempts to answer this, and on the way, tries to
clarify a misunderstanding about creating websites that usually accompanies such a question.90005

90003 The Short Answer 90004

90002
The short answer to the question is «yes». But you should really read the long answer. The devil is
in the details.
90005

90003 Assumptions 90004

90002
Judging from the way my visitor asked the question, he probably did so after reading the articles
«How to
Create / Start a Website: Beginner’s Guide «and possibly also
«How
Much Does It Cost to Set Up a Website? «.
90005

90002
If you have not read those articles, you may want to at least read the
Beginner’s Guide since this
article assumes that you have some basic knowledge of what «domain names» and «web hosts» mean.90005

90003 What Happens If You Do not Have a Domain Name? 90004

90002
Some web hosts, mainly free web hosts, allow you
to create a website even if you do not have a domain name. To do that they create a subdomain which they associate with your website.
90005

90002
For example, if your web host is «example.com» (not a real web host), they may create a subdomain called «chris.example.com»
which you can use for your website. Visitors typing «chris.example.com» will end up at your website.You do not have to pay for
such a subdomain name, since you do not actually own it; the web host owns «example.com» and can create and delete whatever subdomains
they wish.
90005

90003 The High Price of Free (Sub) Domain Names: A Lesson From History 90004

90002
There is a huge cost associated with not paying for a domain name. What you save in pennies today, you will pay back in pounds later
(And maybe with your site’s entire life as well).
90005

90002
It is a well known fact among seasoned webmasters that
free web hosts close with great frequency.It’s not just the small kid-in-the-basement web hosting operations that close. Even big ones close too. For example, in recent memory, Google
closed their Google Page Creator
service. Approximately around the same period, AOL also closed their member pages, leading to a huge uproar among the large number of
webmasters who hosted their sites there. And then there’s Yahoo’s
Geocities, one of the earliest and
arguably the most well known of free web hosts. That closed too. And these are just the famous web hosts run by big name corporations.I did not mention the smaller operations.
90005

90002
Each time a free web host closes, sites that are hosted on those hosts disappear forever. The webmasters of those sites can not say, hey,
no problem, I’ll just transfer my site to a new web host and keep my web address. Their web addresses, like the «chris.example.com»
mentioned above, do not belong to them. They belong to the owner of «example.com» which is their web host.
90005

90003 The Real Consequence of Losing Your Web Address 90004

90002
Perhaps you think, «No big deal.I’m a shrewd strategist and have kept a backup of all my files. All I need to do is to go to another
free web host and get a new web address, like ‘heng.another-web-host.xyz’. Once I publish a backup of my files to that address,
I’m good to go. »
90005

90002
It’s not that simple.
90005

90002
When you lose your old web address, you lose all your regular, loyal visitors, people who have bookmarked your website
and return frequently to find new information. When they click their «Favourites» link,
they will end up at a browser error page.Do you seriously think they will assume that you’ve moved to a new web host
and search the web for your new address? Websites disappear from the Internet all the time. They’ll just say to themselves,
«Oh well. Another one bites the dust.»
90005

90002
Not only do you lose your old visitors, you will also lose 90043 all 90044 visitors, at least for some time.
When you lose your old domain name (or more accurately subdomain name), all links pointing to your website from the
search engines and other websites will automatically be broken.90005

90002
The problem is actually worse than it sounds (yes, 90043 worse 90044), for the following reasons.
90005

90050
90051 90002
As mentioned in the article
How to Improve Your Search Engine Ranking on Google,
search engines like Google rely on links to your site from other places to figure out whether it is valuable enough to
list in the search engine results page. When you recreate a new website that has nobody linking to it, since it’s at a new
address, your new site is considered less important than your old one.This is the case even if all your content is exactly the same
as your old site.
90005 90054

90051 90002
It takes a very long time for you to be able to build up the links that you had previously. Sure, you can go to all the
websites linking to you previously and tell them you’ve updated. But not everybody will update their links immediately, if at all.
Without those links, the search engines are not going to regard your site as very important. Without the search engines, you will
have no visitors.90005 90054
90059

90002
So you see, once you lose your old web address, it’s like starting with a new site all over again. You’ll have to
publicize your site and do all the things you used to do when your site was new, to get visitors. And it’ll take some
time before the traffic to your site even gets back to what it used to be.
90005

90002
This is the reason why those webmasters who had sites on AOL and all the other dead free web hosts were so upset. By the time
the free web host closed, their site had already amassed a certain number of visitors per day.Moving web hosts, with the associated
change of web address, meant that they had to start all over again.
90005

90002
Contrast this with what happens when you have your own domain name. When you change web hosts, you take your domain name
along with you and attach
it to your new location. The change is (mostly) transparent to your visitors and the search engines.
As far as they are concerned, there is no change of web address, and your site can be reached at the same location as before.
If you do not mention it on your website, your visitors probably will not even know you moved hosts.90005

90003 But My Site Is Just For Fun; I’ll Get a Domain When I’m Serious 90004

90002
«But my site is just for fun,» you say. «I’ll buy a domain when I’m serious about making a proper website.»
90005

90002
When I started my first website, it was just for fun. It was a place for me to post a few of the programs I’d written
and dump my bookmarks which I had annotated with my own notes. Later, I also wrote short articles about my experiences
with creating websites to help visitors who kept emailing me for help.I never planned for that initial play site to
be anything other than a toy.
90005

90002
The beauty about websites you create for fun, as a hobby, is that they are genuine. They are not fake websites created
so that you can earn a quick buck. You pour your soul into it, and the love you lavish upon it can be seen in
your content. And people notice. And when they notice, they’ll come back for more.
90005

90002
What I’m trying to say is do not underestimate this first website that you’re creating «for fun».I never stopped working on that first site. It is still here today. You’re looking at it. It’s now
split into two,
and known as thefreecountry.com and thesitewizard.com.
90005

90002
But because I did not know the things I know today, I created my first site on a free web host, without my own domain. I used
my web host’s address. As a result, when I changed web hosts, my web address also changed. This occurred a few times over the years
before it finally dawned on me to get my own
domain name.In other words, what I mentioned above is not a hypothetical scenario I dreamt up in my spare time. It’s
something I paid dearly to learn.
90005

90002
Your site may be a hobby site now. But who knows what will come of it in the years ahead?
90005

90003 It’s More Expensive To Get It Free 90004

90002
I subtitled this article «The High Price of ‘Free'»
because as you can see from above, it’s really more expensive in the long run not to get your own domain name. Domain name prices are cheap,
at about $ 10 a year (depending on which registrar you choose), so it’s really wiser to just
buy a domain for your site before you start out.Even if you really decide to abandon your website later, you’ll only have lost that $ 10 (or whatever amount you paid). But if your site
really takes off, that paltry sum will become a worthwhile investment that pays off many times its original amount.

.90000 How to Point a Domain Name to Your Website (Or What to Do After Buying Your Domain Name) (thesitewizard.com) 90001 90002 Get Your Web Host’s Name Servers 90003
90004
The first thing you’ll need to do is to find out the list of name servers used by your web host.
90005

90004
«Name servers», or «DNS servers», loosely speaking, are the things that translate
your domain name to the actual location of your website. A little example will make this clear. Let’s say you type a
domain like «thesitewizard.com «into your web browser. In order to display the website associated with thesitewizard.com,
the browser needs to know the real address of the site. Appearances to the contrary, the underlying machinery of the
Internet does not actually use names for addresses, but series of numbers, like 90007 127.0.0.1 90008, called IP addresses. Name servers translate
the domain name you and I use to the actual numeric IP address used by the computers on the Internet.
90005
90004
When you sign up with a commercial web host, they will configure their name servers so that they furnish your
website’s real IP address when there is a query for your domain name.As such, in order for your domain to be
found on the Internet, you must link your domain to your web host’s name servers.
90005
90004
(There’s a bit more to this than that, but I’m sure you’re not here for a long boring technical lecture on how things operate on the Internet.
Suffice it to say, in order for your domain name to resolve, a lot of different computers are involved, including your Internet provider’s
name servers, your registry operator’s name servers, your web host’s name servers, etc.Do not worry. Much of it is automatic. All you need to do to
make it all work is given below.)
90005

90004
The easiest (though not necessarily fastest) way to find out the name servers used by your web host for your domain is to ask them.
A faster way is to look for the information yourself in either the email sent to you by your host when you first signed up with them, or from
the documentation on your web host’s site. If you have no idea where to get the information, contact your web host and ask them
for the «DNS servers» or «name servers» to use for your domain.90005
90004
The list of name servers will often look like 90007 ns1.example.com 90008, 90007 ns2.example.com 90008, and so on, where
«90007 example.com 90008» will probably be replaced by some other domain name used by your web host for their servers.
90005
90004
Your web host may give you 2 or more name server addresses. Note down all these names. Better still, keep the email or web page containing
these names open on your computer so that you can cut and paste them later. You’ll need to enter these names, exactly as given, into your
registrar’s system.90005 90002 Enter the Name Servers into Your Registrar’s Settings for Your Domain 90003
90004
Once you have the list of name servers, go to your domain name
registrar and log into their system. You will obviously need the login name and password that you created when you first registered your domain.
90005
90004
Once logged in, you will need to look for some option to either set your domain’s name servers or change them. Every registrar has a
different way of doing this, and there is no standard method, so it’s not possible for me to give you a detailed blow-by-blow account of
how to get to the appropriate screen.(Even if I did, my description will quickly become out-of-date since registrars, like all webmasters,
change their site design every now and then.)
What I’ll do instead is give you some idea of ​​what to look for.
90005
90004
In general, try the following to get to the page on your registrar’s site that lets you modify the name servers:
90005
90034
90035 90004
Find a way to list all your domains in the registrar’s site. Sometimes this can be found in a «My Domains» page, or a «Domain Manager» page,
or something similarly named.90005 90038
90035 90004
Select the domains for which you want to set the name servers. Sometimes this involves putting a tick into a box
beside your domain name in the list of names. Alternatively, if you only have one domain name, you may even be
able to click the domain name to get to the settings screen.
90005 90038
90035 90004
Some registrars have a «Manage DNS» menu link, or a «DNS» button, or a «Nameservers» button. If you see such a link or button, that’s probably
the one that you will need to click.Basically look for things that say «DNS» or «Name Servers» or «Nameservers», whether to «set» it, «change» it,
«Manage» it, «modify» it, «edit» it or some other thing to that effect.
90005 90038
90047
90004
Once you manage to find the correct page to change your name servers, you will probably see a form that lets you enter things
like your «Primary Name Server», «Secondary Name Server», «Tertiary Name Server» and maybe even more (like a fourth, fifth and sixth name
server as well). The exact words used may not be the same, but it should mean basically your first name server, second name server, and
so on.90005
90004
Put your first name server from your list, usually the name beginning with «90007 ns1 90008», into the «Primary Name Server» field. Then type
your second name server, the name beginning with «90007 ns2 90008», into the «Secondary Name Server» field. And so on. A domain name should have
at least 2 name servers associated with it. Some web hosts give you more, others only 2. Some registrars allow you to enter up
to 6 names, others only 2. If you only have 2 nameservers to enter, but your registrar gives you 6 fields, just enter the first 2 and leave
the other fields blank.If you have 3 nameservers to enter, but your registrar only allows you to enter 2, just enter the first
2 from your list. Do not worry about the fields you did not get to use, or the extra name servers that your web host provided that you could not
enter. Your domain will work fine without those extras. They are there to provide a bit of redundancy, so that your site will
still work if the first name server fails.
90005
90004
If you can not find the place to set your name servers, or you do not want to just blunder around the registrar’s website looking for
the correct option to try, look for the «Help» or «FAQ» documentation on your registrar’s site.This is such a basic procedure
that everyone needs to do that they are likely to have some sort of guide on their site, if only to avoid having to answer the same question
over and over again from their customers.
90005
90004
At worst, if you are completely lost, and dare not poke around in the registrar’s site because you’re afraid you’ll change something you should not,
write to the registrar to ask them for help. Do not expect a fast reply though. Some of them take days to reply, and often only to point you to
the relevant documentation on their site.As is the case for many other things, if you want something done fast, you’ll need to figure it
out yourself. Hopefully the tips in this section will give you enough information so that you know what links / buttons to look for and click.
90005.90000 Use a Domain You Already Own (Domain Mapping) — Support 90001

90002 Have you already purchased a domain name with another provider, such as GoDaddy or 1 & 1? If you prefer to keep your domain registered with your current provider, you can use it with your WordPress.com site by 90003 domain mapping. 90004 90005

90002 There are two important steps to mapping your domain to your WordPress.com site. 90005

90015 90016 You keep the domain registered with the company you purchased it from (the 90003 registrar 90004), such as GoDaddy or 1 & 1, but point the domain here so it loads your WordPress.com site. 90019 90016 You will still need to pay the current registrar to keep the domain active every year. 90019 90016 Some domain settings and configurations will need to be made with the current registrar. 90019 90016 If you’re trying to map a subdomain (for example blog.yourgroovydomain.com instead of yourgroovydomain.com), use our Map A Subdomain support page instead. 90019 90026

90002 You can find your domain provider in this list of common providers for further instructions. 90005

90027 90002 We strongly recommend that you use nameservers to point to WordPress.com. However, in some cases the domain registrar will only accept IP addresses. In those cases, you will want to contact our support team to get the IP addresses. 90005 90002 Bear in mind, IP addresses can change without notice, which is why nameservers is the preferred method. 90005 90030

90002 Below are some Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Tips: 90005

I changed name servers, but my domain is not loading or pointing to my WordPress.com site.
90015
90016 Name server changes can take up to 72 hours to fully propagate, during which time the domain might not load properly.90019
90016 Try clearing your browser’s cache to make sure your browser is loading the most up to date information. 90019
90016 Contact your domain registrar to ensure the name servers were changed properly (and that the old ones were completely removed). 90019
90026

Can I map a domain to a specific page on my site?
90002 Domains can not be mapped to specific directories on your site, for example yourgroovydomain.com/about-us 90005

Can I have «www» before my domain name?
90002 WordPress.com automatically removes the «www» from all URLs. Mapping the «www» subdomain is not supported. 90005
90002 Your site address can still be reached at «www», but it will always redirect to the non-www version. This is for SEO reasons; search engines prefer one version of the site address be set as the canonical URL, otherwise they will see duplicate content. WordPress.com has chosen the non-www version of your site as the canonical URL. 90005

Can I use A records to map my domain, instead of name servers?
90002 We strongly recommend using name servers to point your domain to us, but there are some instances where using A records may be the best or only option based on your existing registrar.Please contact our support to obtain the current A records. 90005

.90000 And How to Avoid Search Engine Problems When Doing So (thesitewizard.com) 90001 90002 Hosting (Parking) All the Domains on Your Web Host 90003
90004
Many web hosts allow you to «park» multiple domains so that they all point to your website. (Note for new webmasters: this
is a slightly different application of the term «parking» from that used by your registrar. Do not mix the two up. If you
want to find out about domain parking as used by your registrar, see the article
What Does It Mean to
Park a Domain Name? Domain Name Parking Explained instead.)
90005
90004
An example of how this works out in real life will make it clearer. Type «example.com» in your web browser’s address bar.
You should reach a dummy web site specially meant to be used as an example site. (Yes, example.com really exists.)
Look at your browser’s address bar. It should now say «http://example.com/». Now open another tab (or window) in your
web browser, and type «example.net» into the address bar to go there. This should take you to a page that looks exactly
the same as «example.com «, but you can see that you’ve actually reached» example.net «and not the» .com «version by
checking that your browser’s address bar says «http://example.net/».
90005
90004
The 3 sites, «example.com», «example.net» and «example.org», all point to the exact same page on the site’s web host.
It is done by hosting all three sites on the same web host, and arranging it so that they all resolve to the same account.
If the webmaster of «example.com» were to add (say) a picture of a dog to the page, that image will show up in all 3 domains.90005

90004
90011 Update 90012 (January 2011): the organisation controlling the «example.com», «example.net» and «example.org»
domains has just changed the behaviour of those domains so that typing those names into your browser no longer yield the
behaviour I described above. Sorry, but it looks like you’ll have to rely on my description above without a real life example.
90005
90004
90011 Update of Update 90012 (January 2014 року): it looks like the example domains have reverted back to the behaviour
I described above.Since I do not control those domains (they are sort of held in trust on behalf of the Internet to be
used as examples), I’m leaving this list of updates around so that if the behaviour changes yet again, you will know what
has happened. I wish they’ll stop fiddling with it. What’s the use of an example if it can not be relied upon to serve as one?

90018 90002 Search Engine Ranking Consequences: Content Duplication 90003
90004
This method of doing things creates a search engine problem popularly called
«Content duplication».I have written about this in the past, and one place you can find more information on this is from the
How to Create
a Search Engine Friendly Website article.
90005
90004
Essentially, by making it so that all 3 different web addresses show the same content, it now appears to search engines
and casual visitors that there are 3 sites with identical content. This is not a problem in itself, but it becomes a problem
when people find they like your site and start linking to it. Those who have reached your site using the
«.com «version will link to the» .com «address, while others who have found it using the» .net «URL will link to the» .net »
variation (since that’s the address they see in their browser). And so on. Since search engines such as Google
(As I explained in my article on How to
Improve Your Search Engine Ranking on Google) rely on the number of links pointing to your website to determine
its importance, you will have effectively divided the links pointing to your site among the 3 different URLs. The
end result is that none of your URLs will appear to be as important as they could have, had all the links been attributed
to a single web address.90005
90004
If you have already pointed all your domains to your website this way, do not panic. This problem is easily solved and
reversed, even if you have been doing it for years. That is, there’s a simple way to tell the search engines that
all 3 domains point to the same site, and to add up all the links together and associate them with that site.
Just read on.
90005
90002 How to Point All Domains to the Same Website on Your Web Host 90003
90004
There are 2 parts to pointing all the domains to the same website.One part involves changing the settings at your
domain name registrar. The other part requires you to get your web host to add those additional domain names to
your account. It probably does not matter which part you do first (unless your web host is fussy), but you’ll need
to get both done.
90005
90004
The first part involves setting the DNS of all your domains so that they resolve to the same website. To do this,
follow the method given in the article
How to Point a Domain Name
to Your Website for 90011 each of your domains 90012.For example, first follow the method for your «.com» domain.
Then use the same method for each of your other domains, the «.net», «.org» and / or whatever other domains you have.
Do not worry if you do not know what «DNS» means. That article explains all the things you’ll need to know, even if you’re
an absolute beginner. (In fact, it was written for the absolute beginner.)
90005
90004
Next, you will also need to arrange with your web host to host all your domains so that they point to the same website.As mentioned above, many web hosts call this «parking» a domain at your website. But the terminology used differs from
host to host. For example, at the time I write this, the web
host thesitewizard.com currently uses employs the term «IRO» to refer to the operation. If you’re not able to find out
how to do the operation from your web host’s documentation, contact their technical support to find out. Do not worry.
This is such a common practice that any competent web host will surely know what you’re talking about as long as you give them
enough details describing what you want to do.90005
90002 How to Solve the Duplicate Content Problem 90003
90004
After pointing all your domains to your website, you’ll have to decide which of those domains is going to be your
primary or main domain. This will be the domain you use to refer to your own site, and it is the domain that you’ll use
when you advertise your site. You will be redirecting all the other domains to this main domain. For example, the
main domain for this site is thesitewizard.com. If you were to type the «.net» variant, you will be redirected to
my «.com «version; that is, you’ll end up at a web address beginning with» https://www.thesitewizard.com/ «.
(Contrast this with the example.com website, which was probably deliberately set up to work the other way.)
90005
90004
After you’ve made your decision, follow the tutorial
How to Redirect from
Your Root Domain to the WWW Subdomain and Vice Versa Using mod_rewrite to redirect all your secondary domains
to your main one. Although the tutorial talks about either adding the «www» or removing the «www» from your domain
name, the problem it solves is essentially the same one: that of multiple domains delivering the same content.(. *) $ Http://www.example.com/$1 [R = 301, L]
90005
90004
This will cause all your domain names to be redirected to the «www.example.com» form of your name. You’ll of course
have to change «www.example.com» to your actual domain name. And if your
site uses HTTPS for its
web address, change the «http: //» part to «https: //».
90005
90004
If, however, you do not like the «www» prefix, and want your domains to be redirected to the «http://example.com» version of your
domain (ie, without «www»), you’ll need the following block instead:
90005
90004
RewriteEngine on 90018 RewriteCond% {HTTP_HOST}! ^ Example \.(. *) $ Http://example.com/$1 [R = 301, L]
90005
90004
This latter block is not given in that article. In any case, even though I’ve supplied all the code here, you should
still read that article for the detailed explanations, as well as information on how you can actually implement this
on your web server. Remember: you can not use either block of code as it stands; you have to modify it, unless you want all your domains
to literally redirect to example.com.
90005
90002 How It Solves the Problem of Duplicate Content 90003
90004
The kind of redirection employed above is recognised by search engines as an indication that all your different domains
have moved permanently to your primary domain.Over time, the engines will collate all the links pointing to those separate domains
and count them as linking to your main domain. In other words, the above solution not only preemptively prevents the
dupicate content problem from surfacing, if you already have such a problem, it will solve it.
90005 90002 Redirecting All the Alternative Names to Your Main (Primary) Domain Name from Your Domain Registrar 90003
90004
Another way to redirect all your secondary domain names to your primary domain name is to do it at your
domain name registrar level.Instead of setting the DNS of all your domains to your web hosting account, just
set your primary domain name. Again, for those who forgot what I said above, this is done by following the
procedure given in the tutorial
How to Point a Domain Name
to Your Website (Or What to Do After Buying Your Domain Name).
90005
90004
For your secondary domains, do not set their DNS. Most, if not all, domain name registrars allow you to use
something called «URL Forwarding» or «Redirection» to forward requests for those domains to your main domain.Log into your domain registrar’s website, and look for either «URL Forwarding», «Forwarding», «Redirection» or
something to that effect. Each registrar has a different name and method for doing it, so it’s not possible for
me to give you the exact term used or even a detailed description of what to do. Select the domain you want for
redirection, select that service, and enter your main domain name’s web address (eg, «http://www.example.com/»
or whatever) into the field provided. Note that you’ll have to follow the format required by your registrar.If the registrar asks you to enter with the «http: //» prefix, do so. If they only ask for the «www.example.com»
portion without the prefix, do that.
90005
90004
Some registrars may give you the option to enable cloaked or stealth redirection. Do NOT enable those options.
Let me say that again: do not enable cloaked or stealth redirection. It will defeat what you’re trying to
accomplish here. It’s possible that the registrars may refer to this with a different name, eg, they may ask
you whether you want to put the redirection in a «frame».Again, do not enable this option. If you’re puzzled
by what those terms mean and what they’re used for, see my article
Should
You Use Cloaked Domain Redirection to Point to Your Website ?.
90005
90004
If the registrar gives you the option of choosing either a permanent redirection or a temporary one, choose the
permanent one. If they ask you whether you want it to be a «301 redirection» or a «302 redirection», choose the
«301 redirection» option. Both the «301» and «permanent» redirection options refer to the same thing, and are
necessary before the search engines will add all the links from your secondary domains to your primary domain.By choosing the «301» or «permanent» redirection, you’re in effect doing what I mentioned earlier in
the
section on how to solve the duplicate content problem.
90005
90004
After setting the above, wait a couple of days for your changes to spread (or in the technical jargon for such things,
«Propagate») throughout the world, then test your secondary domains in your web browser. This is very important. I notice that
some domain name registrars have bugs in their interface so that the redirections you set do not always work correctly.Instead
you end up at their domain
parking page. If you experience this, contact the registrar for help. Alternatively, just use the first method described
above.
