A common website design and hosting question:

For my website I intend to purchase a domain name and then host it on free hosting site like office live or webs.com, but the design options they provide are too limited. Can I have it designed and then upload onto these free hosting site?
Answer:

Although free hosting offers hosting service but that doesn’t mean it also offers what a paid web host got. They are free but they have limited features in terms of databases, php support, ftp access and so forth. Free hosting is best for starters and personal websites, however if you need premium services, you need to upgrade your account or transfer to a paid web host.

When you want your own design to be uploaded and use as your website template you need to have ftp access which your web host provides(free web host doesn’t have ftp access). You need to use ftp client like filezilla or winscp to transfer your files. Maybe you think, all commercial hosts offer their hosting service at a high price. But there are also web host that offer their service at a very cheap rate like Fatcow

    To run a website, you need a domain and web hosting. You can buy domains from places like GoDaddy or Namecheap.
    If you need web hosting, I highly recommend HostGator.

    If you want free hosting, which has more limitations, I recommend [...]

    Hi
    Personally 000webhost does not seem good to me because initially i had hosted my website under it and they delete your website for no reasons.
    So i think its better not to host under them.
    x10hosting is the best according to me. You should give it a try.

    I would recommend smallbusiness.officelive.com, it is microsofts version of free hosting. You will get a domain name like mywebsite.services.officelive.com but its all for free. They allow you to bring youtube videos into the website so you will have to upload your videos to youtube first. Its fairly simple and they [...]

    Most hosting companies have an easy to use builder software. You should check with hostgator and see what they offer. Also, you can try Joomla, or Drupal. They are free and easy to use. Hope this helps!

    To build a professional website you need professional tools. Why don’t you install a free version of Dreamweaver or purchase one from Adobe. Other options include WordPress like you said and many other platforms like Wix which provide you with a GUI interface to make websites quickly and efficiently.
