Learn how to create a WordPress website for free, including free hosting. This beginner-friendly tutorial walks you through setup, templates, and design step by step.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a complete WordPress website with free hosting. You’ll learn how to set up your free hosting account, install WordPress, and customize your site using Astra, Starter Templates, and the Elementor page builder.
I’ll also explain the pros and cons of free hosting, including speed, reliability, and some of the quirks you may run into. You’ll still walk away with a fully functional, professional-looking WordPress website that you can control and edit yourself, but you’ll be aware of the limits.
If you want more reliability and fewer restrictions, I recommend using affordable paid hosting. I personally use Hostinger for many of my sites. It’s faster, easier to set up, and includes a free domain. You’ll find my special discount link above if you want to go that route.
