WordPress Domain Question?

Question

Hi Everyone. I have yet another question which will probably sound stupid to some of you more tech savvy people. Is it possible to create a wordpress Blog/Website without purchasing a domain name....Like a free website and then later on buy a domain name and all of that....I remember back in the day you could have a free website but the domain would be like www.blog.yoursite.com or something...but it was free...is it still possible to have some jacked up domain like that for free and then later on when you have (Perfected) or at least perfected to your standards the site purchase an actual domain name like www.yoursite.com? and please I know this is probably a dumb question so go easy on the answers guys

Answer 1

well actually its not exactly possible.



the site www.yourname.wordpress.com (subdomain) site is free if you wish to get a domain, it doesn't cost much you can get a domain from godaddy for as low as $1.

then you can redirect the domain www.yourname.com to your wordpress site.







Or you can get a free hosting and use your domain with it so basically you are not paying anything much apart from 1$ !



If you need a free domain you can get it here www.dot.tk

so your website will be www.yourname.tk



if you have any queries feel free to get in touch with me, I am a web developer and web designer.



Cheers!

Answer 2

Yes, you can technically create a WordPress website without purchasing a domain name. Of course, no one will be able to view it. If I were you, I would look around to find a deal on a domain name. You seem as though you would need minimal services, so it should not be too expensive.

Answer 3

Use the free blogging service of Wordpress.com and once you learn the basis of blogging you can buy a domain for 17 bucks as I remember. You'll get the hosting for that price, too.
