If you are new to building websites and looking for free solutions, creating your website with Website.com may be a good option for you. Website.com offers a free plan for users to get started. Simply sign up a free account with a valid email address or Google/Facebook account. Based on my testing, many of their features are in fact already included in their free plan.
Website.com offers many free website tools. For example, you can jump start your website with their designer website templates. Once you have chosen a template for your website, you can then drag and drop content (e.g. text, images, interactive cards, etc.) within the website builder anywhere you want. There are many third party web apps such as Google Map, Social Media sharing tools, webforms, etc. to enahnce the functionality of your website. Once you are done customizing your website, click the "Publish" button to push your content to live. You can check out all of the Website.com
website builder features here.
Their free plan gives you a free subdomain URL (e.g. yourname.website2.me). If you want a professional domain name for your website (this is especially important for business website), you may consider upgrading to their premium paid plan, which includes a free domain name, premium support, and remove ad banner option.
Sign up with Website.com website builder to create your free website.
Free hosting is only good for personal and casual websites. If you are serious about creating and designing a customer-centric website, you should have paid hosting.
