How to Make a Free Website With a .Com Suffix
Nowadays having a website is almost as common as having a telephone. People set up websites as blogs for entertainment and to disseminate information. Most online services charge you for a domain name and hosting fees to set up a website, but a few online services allow you to create a website ending in the traditional ".com" suffix for free. The only catch is that you have to take the service's domain name with it and add your own to the front. For this reason these free services are not appropriate for a business---they're better suited for personal websites.
