How to Get a Free Web Site and Free Domain

     Everybody needs a website, but how do you get a website and domain name without spending a lot? Easy: just find a free web host. A free web hosting company will give you a free website and a place to keep all your web site files so you can be live on the web. You can use this for business or personal use. So how do you get a free domain? Read the article and find out.

Steps

1. Do a search for a free web host. You can also look for free website or free web hosting; they all pretty much mean the same thing.
   
   
   
2. Check out some of the free web hosts that come up. Unfortunately, there will be thousands to pick from.
   
   
   
3. Check out the ones that are truly free. Some sites will claim to be free to show up that way on the search engines, but when you go to their site, you have to pay something or make posts or some other crazy nonsense.
   
   
   
4. Find a web host that has what you need. In other words, if you just have a small web site, don't get a web host that offers 100 gigabytes of web space. You will never use it and it will be a problem in the long run (I'll explain later).
   
   
   
5. Find a web host that gives you a decent amount of disk space, bandwidth, emails, and maybe some pre-installed applications. They will save you a lot of headaches later. If you want to install Wordpress, for example, it is much easier to find a site that has a one-click install for Wordpress instead of having to download, then upload, unzip, install, configure, etc.
   
   
   
6. Find a site that is easy to get signed up with. Some places ask you to make 50 posts in their forums before you can even apply for a website. That is just plain ridiculous. If you can't just sign up and start creating your website, move on to a better web hosting company.
   
   
   
7. Find a company that offers a free domain available through them. Some companies offer free domains in their control panel. Make certain it is truly free.
   
   
   
8. Look for a web host that has a web builder if you need it. If you are not experienced creating web pages from scratch, sign up with a host that has a web builder. Trust me, it is much easier than making your own pages.
   
   
   

    
   
   

   Tips

   • Get a web host that offers a free domain. This way you don't have to go out looking for it; it's already there and easily available.
   • Make certain the free domain is truly free and not one where you have to buy hosting to get the free domain.
   • Find a web host that offers a fair amount of disk space, bandwidth, and emails without being outrageous. Sites that offer unlimited disk space, bandwidth, etc. are just trouble in the making.
   • Sites that offer unlimited anything are called "over sellers" because they offer something they really don't want you to use. The minute you start using too much disk space or too much bandwidth they will kick you off for violating their rules. They usually have something in really small print limiting your use. Don't even bother with those.
   • Don't bother with places that are "Post to Host" unless you really like posting in their forums. They become really tedious and a chore after a while.
   • Find a web host that allows you to use either your own domain (if you already have one), a free domain (from any free domain company), gives you a free domain in their cPanel (control panel) or has a free subdomain if you really don't want to mess around with all the domain controls. Sub-domains are really the simplest way if you are not very tech savvy.

How to Clean up a Slow Performing Computer

     Many think that when a computer starts performing poorly that it's time to buy a new computer. Does your desktop or laptop often hang on the hour glass for several minutes at a time? Is it slow to load files or applications, and does it take a long time to boot? Even if you're extremely careful about how you use your computer and never download questionable material, over time it is inevitable that your system will accumulate unwanted registry entries, errors, clutter and debris. Here's how to clean your computer up and get it running faster again.

Steps

1. Update your antivirus software and run a full scan. Antivirus software helps protect you from viruses and other suspect files that can spread by simply opening email. It performs regular system checks and detects when foreign files are trying to infiltrate your computer.
   • Norton and Kaspersky are the two standard-bearers in the industry, and can often be purchased for about $20.
   • Do not use Registry Optimizers or so called Clean Reg Tools. Most of these cause more harm than good in the future with your PC.
2. Clear up some space on the hard drive. Deleting unnecessary files that your computer stores is an easy and simple way to free up memory and improve overall performance. To do this, access Disk Cleanup in Windows and delete Temporary Files on a Mac.
   
   
   • For Windows XP, Windows 7, and Vista: Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup. If several drives are available, you might be prompted to specify which drive you want to clean.
   • For Mac: Go to Applications, click Utilities, and click Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt, type in "sudo rm -fr /tmp/*" and hit Enter. The temporary files that have been left behind on your computer will now be cleared.
3. Uninstall useless programs or programs you rarely use. These can include games or media files that you or your children never use, as well as programs that have become redundant or obsolete.
   
   
   • For Windows: Follow the Start Menu to Settings and then to Control Panel. From this screen click on Add/remove programs or Uninstall a program and uninstall programs that are no longer needed.
   • For Mac: Kill unwanted or redundant programs by dropping the program files into the Recycle Bin.
   • Remember to empty your Recycle Bin after deleting these files because they are still on the hard drive and taking up space; just right click the icon and navigate to “Empty Bin.”
4. Download and install a spyware removing program. Spyware is a kind of malicious software installed on computers that tracks certain information without the user's knowledge. For both privacy implications and the health of your computer, it's best to delete spyware and other "malware."
   • You should be able to download anti-spyware software on your computer for free. Once downloaded, install the program and run it; if you are not an advanced computer user, read the directions.
5. Defragment your hard drive. Fragmentation basically is when your computer's files get disorganized, hurting your computer's ability to lay data out sequentially. Defragmentation is the correction to this process.
   
   
   • For Windows: click on My Computer, then click Properties, then click the Tools tab. From this tab just click on the Defragment button and then run the program. You can set it up so that your computer automatically defragments at set intervals.
   • For Mac: Mac operating systems rarely, if ever, need to have their disk space defragmented.
6. Check your RAM. RAM stands for Random Access Memory. These are the computer's memory chips, or how it stores information. If there are not enough of them the computer will use your hard disk to store intermediate results, but this is a much slower process. If this happens, the computer appears busy and is slow to write and read things from your hard disk. You can hear it, and the LED on the computer itself will light up.
   • Right click on the My Computer icon, then select properties, then read what is said on the 'General' tab. For Windows XP it should be 256 MB or more. If it is less then 1024 MB then it might be the problem.
   • If RAM is the real problem, your computer will be slow whenever you start a new application. If your computer is only slow when you turn on your computer or reboot, it is more likely that it is some other problem.
   • Before you rush out to get some additional RAM in a computer shop, make sure you know exactly what type fits in with your computer, and convince yourself that there are still empty slots (inside your computer) that can be used to put the RAM in.
   • For most people it is best to make a computer repair shop responsible for all this. Bring in your computer.
   
   

   Tips

   • Never install software that you don't intend to use regularly.
   • Be careful about what you install; most free downloads from certain sites can come with some form of spyware/malware/grayware or possibly a virus.
   • Make an effort to defrag your computer weekly.
   • To insure safe broadband internet browsing install a firewall program (Microsoft has one built in with XP) or buy an external firewall router.
   • Always preform a spyware scan and virus scan weekly if you do minimal file/program downloads. If you do many downloads weekly, then the suggested performance is daily.

   Warnings

   • When uninstalling programs be sure you don't need them; some programs are needed for the operation of the computer.
   • When using the spyware removal program, be sure to go over the directions thoroughly. Since this program makes changes to the registry you can actually make the computer preform worse than before. If you are not an avid computer user, just clean the detected items that appear in red, or consult a friend who knows about computers.

How to Clean Your Computer System

     Whether you're here to learn how to “clean up” a cluttered or infected hard drive, or physically clean your computer's parts, read on for an easy, step-by-step guide. In easy words, this tutorial will tell you how to clean software as well as hardware component of your system. It is a known fact that regular maintenance of your system can significantly boost your computer speed. For hardware cleaning you need physical efforts while for cleaning system files is a software job and reputable system utilities softwares such as Intel Software Partner Reg-in-Out can do this job quite perfectly.

Steps

Hard Drive Cleaning

1. Keep your computer up to date. Mac OS and Windows both release regular security and stability updates for your operating system. What's more, they've set up your computer's existing OS so that it knows which updates it needs and how to get them, saving you the trouble of keeping up, in most cases. The programs that handle these updates have self-evident names (Windows Update and Software Update), and are set to run automatically by default. If you've disabled updates, or you aren't sure whether your computer is being updated, follow the steps given below to check:
   • For Windows users, go to the Start Menu and search for “Windows Update.” The appropriate control panel should appear in the search results. Click it to read the status of your updates and explore automatic update settings in the sidebar or tabs. You can click on the words “Important Updates” and “Optional Updates” to select or deselect updates before downloading them. You can set your computer to download and install updates itself or you can perform this job manually.
     
     
     
   • Mac users should open the System Preferences menu from the Apple menu, and then choose Software Update from the View menu. All available updates will appear in a list. You can select which updates you want to install before continuing.
     
     
     
   • Updates obtained through these channels are always official and can be trusted. Therefore, it's generally recommended that you leave automatic updating on, unless you have a good reason for doing otherwise. This option should be available through the menu you already pulled up.
     
     
     
2. Clear Internet data. As you browse the Internet, your computer collects bits and pieces of information that can eventually build up to the point that they cause performance issues, especially on older and slower machines. The most basic way to do this is by using the tools that come with your Internet browser of choice. Microsoft Internet Explorer users on Windows can clear all temporary data by visiting the Internet Options control panel item and clicking the Delete button on the General tab under the Browsing History subheading.
   
   
   
   • If you're using IE on a non-Windows computer, simply open the Tools menu, choose Options, and select the data you want to clear.
     
     
     
   • To erase temporary files, cookies, and cache data from Firefox, open the Firefox menu and open the Options window (this may require selecting Options from the drop down menu and then selecting Options again from the menu that appears). Once there click the tab or button that says Advanced, and then choose the Network tab underneath that. Find the box that has Offline Web Content in its header, and click the Clear button to clear your data.
     
     
     
   • To clear data from Chrome, simply hold down Control and Shift, and type Delete (as opposed to the Backspace button). A new tab will open up with a simple menu. Select the data you want to erase, set the time frame using the box in the upper right, and click Clear Browsing Data when you're satisfied.
     
     
     
   • To reach this menu the old-fashioned way, click the button with three horizontal lines on it in the upper right corner of the browser, and choose Settings from the menu that appears. Scroll partway down the screen to find the Privacy heading, then click the “Clear browsing data” button right underneath it.
     
     
     
   • To clear Safari's browsing cache, go to the Edit menu and select Empty Cache. Confirm your decision when asked.
     
     
     
   • If you have not sufficient time to perform these tasks you can use some browser cleanup tool.
3. Check for adware and malware. Adware and malware are types of programs that can compromise your computer's performance and create security holes. There are specialized free programs designed to find and erase adware and spyware. Install and run the program (it's pretty straightforward) to find and delete offending files.
   • Mac users don't have many comprehensive options. The best-regarded overall is MacScan, which is powerful but costs money to use for more than 30 days. Fortunately, the cost for a home license is fairly low at just $39.99. Download the free trial first to be sure it'll work for you.
     
     
     
   • The best way to avoid adware and malware is to never download anything you're not sure of, and never agree to install anything extra that comes packaged with software you choose to install.
     
     
     
4. Check for viruses and other immediate threats. The best way to defend your computer against truly malicious threats is with a powerful antivirus program. Both Mac and Windows users have access to good free options that work at least as well as paid brands. Install them and allow them to run in the background at all times. When you first install them, or if you suspect a virus may have been missed, you can run them manually as well.
   
   
   
   • Since new viruses are always being designed and released, it's very important that you allow your antivirus program to update as often as it needs to. Normally, this should take place in the background, without you having to do anything.
     
     
     
5. Run maintenance on your hard drive. Most computers made within the last several years take care of these tasks automatically, but you're always free to take care of them yourself if you want. The key tools are disk defragmentation, which organizes the jumbled bits of data on your drive so that they can be found more quickly, and disk cleanup, which deletes duplicate and unused temporary files to free up space.
   
   
   
   
   
   • Since the location of these tools varies from version to version of Windows, it's best to use a Start Menu search to find them quickly. Simply open and run them from the search results to speed up your computer, if the tasks haven't already been scheduled to run automatically.
     
     
     
   • Mac and Linux users don't typically need to defragment their hard disks, as the process is ongoing and automatic in the background. Mac users can clean up their hard disks with the Disk utility, located in the Utilities folder (normally inside the Applications folder on OS X systems).
     
     
     
6. Remove unwanted programs. If you have extra programs, you remove them easily on Windows by using the Programs and Features (newer) or Add/Remove Programs (older) control panel. Highlight a program to see available options, and click to completely uninstall it. This is preferable to simply deleting the application yourself, as it removes files the program may have installed elsewhere as well.
   
   
   
   • Mac users can generally get away with just dragging unwanted programs into the Trash, but the process to fully remove things like Preference files and other scattered pieces is considerably more complicated – too complicated to cover in this guide.
     
     
     
7. Keep your system backed up. Once you've cleaned up your computer, it's time to preserve it in time so you can go back to a clean version if anything catastrophic happens in the future. This works quite differently depending on whether you're using a Mac or Windows, but the process is simple in either case.
   • Windows users should do a Start Menu search for “system restore,” and choose to create a restore point, which the computer can be rolled back to in the event of a disaster.
     
     
     
   • Mac users should set up Time Machine, a system preservation program, to run in the background. Time Machine allows you to roll back specific recent changes to rectify compatibility and other problems.
     
     
     
   • In either case, backing up to an external hard drive is recommended. Both methods require a lot of free space, and the external hard drive may be spared if the main hard drive has a mechanical malfunction.
     
     
     

Physical Cleaning

1. Gather supplies. To safely and efficiently clean your computer, you'll need a few inexpensive items. Buy a can of compressed air, for blowing particles out of sensitive areas, at any computer store. Purchase cotton swabs (such as Q-Tips) and rubbing alcohol from a supermarket or pharmacy. Buy small or medium-sized Phillips-tip and flat-tip screwdrivers from a hardware store. Have paper towels, lint-free rags, and water on hand.
   
   
   
   • If you're cleaning a netbook, notebook, or laptop, opt for small screwdrivers. Desktop computers are likely to need medium-small screwdrivers instead. There's no need to buy special “computer screwdrivers,” in most cases.
     
     
     
2. Turn off your computer. For desktop computers, this means shutting down the computer, turning off the surge protector or power strip, and unplugging the cord from the back of the tower (computer box). If you own a laptop instead, shut it down completely, unplug any power cords from it, turn it upside down, and remove the battery pack.
   
   
   
   • To prevent scuffing on a glossy finish, you can set your laptop upside-down on paper towels before you remove the battery pack.
     
     
     
3. Open your computer. Over time, the air vent that helps regulate your computer's temperature can get clogged with dust, causing the CPU to overheat and malfunction. To clean it, you'll need to open your computer's case.
   
   
   
   • To open a desktop computer, look for fasteners along the back or sides of the tower. These may be simple screws, or any of a number of other mechanisms. Some computers even have a sliding side panel for easy access. If you can't figure out what fastener your computer uses, consult the manual or check online.
     
     
     
   • You can't open a laptop computer completely without extra tools, but you won't need to. To get to the vent, look for a panel with screws in it on the bottom of the laptop. Unscrew the panel and the vent should come with it. Be very careful to note the length and position of each screw, as they tend to vary between one another.
     
     
     
4. Clean the vents. Start with cotton swabs or a pair of tweezers, and remove all of the larger dust bunnies and other detritus you see. Follow through by spraying compressed air to chase the rest of the dust out of the vent system. Spray it everywhere else you can reach, too, taking care to keep the nozzle a few inches away from the components and I/O ports (plug holes for various cords). Don't forget to pop open your optical drives and briefly spray them out.
   
   
   
   • Obviously, the goal is to remove crumbs and dust, not push them farther into your computer. Be mindful of this as you aim your compressed air.
     
     
     
   • Compressed air can hurt sensitive components if overused. Always spray in short bursts rather than a sustained stream.
   • It may be acceptable to gently tilt your laptop to encourage difficult particles to roll closer to where you can flush them out, but don't ever shake or slap it. You could loosen delicate parts.
     
     
     
5. Close and clean the case. Put every part you opened or removed back in its proper place and close up your computer again. Once that's done, take a duster, a dry microfiber cloth, or some dry paper towels and brush obvious dust and dirt off of all sides of the computer case. Follow through by dipping one tip of a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and running it along every seam and edge of your machine. As you finish a line, turn the swab over and dry it with the dry end.
   
   
   
   • Change swabs as often as you need to until the job is done. Don't skip!
6. Clean the keyboard. Start by turning your keyboard upside down over some newspaper or paper towels and shaking out all the crumbs you can. If you're cleaning a laptop, shake very gently to avoid damaging it. Once you've gotten all the crumbs you can, aim compressed air into the cracks and crevices to flush out more, and then shake them out again. Finally, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab to clean the tops of the keys.
   • Don't use a vacuum cleaner on your keyboard, especially if you're using a laptop. The vacuum can create a static charge that could damage components underneath.
     
     
     
   • Touchpads and trackballs can be cleaned the same way as keys, with a cotton swab and a bit of rubbing alcohol. As always, discard each swab when it gets dirty and switch to a new one.
     
     
     
7. Clean the monitor. For LCD displays like those found on most laptops, use plain water on a soft, lint-free cloth such as microfiber. Apply the water to the cloth, and then gently wipe the cloth across the screen until it's clean. For bulky CRT monitors (the kind often seen in computer labs), use a household glass cleaner instead. Again, be sure to spray the cloth rather than the monitor itself.
   
   
   
   • Some popular glass cleaners, such as Windex, contain ammonia. Ammonia may damage coatings on your CRT monitor, so use something ammonia-free instead unless you're sure it's okay.
     
     
     
8. Finish up. Allow every part to dry completely, then reassemble your setup and plug your computer back in. Don't forget to reattach any peripherals, such as a monitor, you might have removed while cleaning. When you're ready, start the computer up as normal. Repeat this cleaning regimen every few months or as needed.
   
   
   

Tips

• Don't download anything you aren't 100% certain of.
• Don't delete a file unless you're sure it's safe to delete. Leave the decision-making to your automated tools.
• If you've tried everything and your computer still seems slow or glitchy, take it to a certified repair person.
• Don't open the computer if it's still under warranty. It won't be valid anymore.
