You may have got a blog already in blogger.com / blogspot or wordpress.com for quite sometime. And now you want to go to another level by creating a blog in a self-hosted wordpress-powered blog. What to do?
You either buy a domain and webhosting from some webhosting services in Indonesia or abroad; or go for a free services provider which gives you free domain and hosting. At least, during the ‘period of training’.
If you choose the second step, here’s the tips.
One, create a free domain in CO.CC or CZ.CC. Tutorial in Bahasa Indonesia can be found here. Register for CO.CC here, and for CZ.CC here.
Two, sign-up or register for a free hosting here* or here**. Follow the steps given. After the process is done, you’ll get two name-servers which you have to put in the domain.
Happy blogging with a free self-hosted wordpress blog!

Notes:
*http://www.000a.biz offers the best free hosting services with 11 GB Disk Space & 400 GB Bandwidth, No Advertisements, Banners, or Pop-ups, Free FTP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin, No less important, the Automatic script installer (Fantastico) which make installing wordpress or other blogging platform just a few clicks of the mouse.
000webhost.com is also ok. That’s said you should not be tempted to use the 000webhost.com’s affiliate program as it’s notoriously known as scam i.e. never pays you a dime even after you got many referrals. More about this here.
**esc-webhosting.co.cc is a free hosting provider owned by an Indonesian. I never tried this service. I also don’t have a clue if Fantastico panel is available which is very necessary. Please comment in the comment box if you did.
untuk para pemula seperti aku memang lebih baik pake gratisan dulu, itung itung belajar.
Betul bos…..skr gratisan dulu..besok baru beli
Sip bos…setubuh
Makasih infonya mas Fatih…
Info yang sangat menark
Nice post… thanks
I have found that the easiest way to create your very own custom website would be through WebStarts. There is a unique drag and drop tool that is extremely easy to use. Plus with a free membership you can get up to 5 free websites.
Iya nih mas buat yang newbie enak pake yang gratis – gratis dulu, mengingat dan menimbang antara eror dan normal cenderung banyak ke errornya.
bagaimana caranya agar domain kita tidak habiz setelah 1 tahun. dalam banyak kasus penyedia domain gratisan tidak bisa diperpanjang lagi
but dont use dot tk, in past i use dot tk, it is very dificult to jump in on google indexing…
One huge lesson I learned from my own blogging experience: With something free in hand,we have to let go myriad profitable chances to bring our blog(s)to the next level, especially in terms of monetization. To get more bucks, some money has got to be spent first. That’s one of the fundamental rules in blogging.
if you blog for bucks, yes paid-hosting is the best solution. if you blog purely for the sake of writing or just for hobby, free blog is ok.
Ilmu yang bermanfaat. Sejauh ini lebih enak menggunakan wordpress.Com. Index halamannya lebih cepat dibaca google.
Sudah 6 bulan akun co.cc saya pake. Untungnya masih gratis. Tidak tahu apakah taun nanti harus dibayar
