Earlier I described How To Change Blogger Domain to Free Custom Domain co.cc. Today we are going to discuss how to set up co.cc(free domain) or your custom domain to free WordPress hosting and install WordPress.
There are lot of unlimited free hosting available. I will prefer How To Change Blogger Domain to Free Custom Domain co.cc or DreamHost. I already setup my 4 WordPress blogs using Byethost. My best preference to all of you is Byethost. Just because it is providing you free hosting as well as free control panel access.

Can I start blogging on this free hosting.And is data will be secure on it ?
Very good article. I too have tried hosting some blogs with byethost. But I couldn’t find out how to add subdomains of custom domains to work with byet hosting. Can you tell me how to add a “www” to a blog hosted with byethost.
I personally recommend Hostgator for webhosting. They are really professional, support is perfect and uptime nice. Go to hostgator_dot_com and use "onecentcoupons" coupon code. You get first month just for free which is good deal.
Maybe that is correct but this is why i choose to host on dedicated server.
When i tried to login to my FTP account, it keeps giving me this error message: 421 home directory not available
And also i can't access my website online, it says: Google Error, Not Found, The requested URL / was not found on this server..
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks
Hello Akin,
You are getting error message : Google Error, Not Found, The requested URL / was not found on this server..
This problem is just because of your "NAME SERVER records"(See Step 4)is not set properly(will take 48 Hrs).
Make sure that you followed step 4 properly and wait for 48Hrs.
