<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this article, I will show you step by step on how to get free hosting and domain in Nigeria.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is true, you need money when building a website. But there are some web hosting providers that allow you to host absolutely free.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But before we get started, I need to make something clear.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is nothing like a free lunch. If you hear ‘free’ stuff, there is always a catch if you look for it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, what does it mean when you hear free web hosting in Nigeria?</span></p>
<h2><b>Is it really free?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, free hosting doesn’t charge anything to host your website. But you have to pay for the domain to activate the free package.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This means that you buy a domain name and get a hosting package for free. Looking at it that is a pretty good deal considering that some companies offer expensive packages with features we offer for free.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here at Truehost Nigeria, we offer free web hosting. All you have to do is purchase a domain name, which is really cheap by the way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take the .com.ng domain for instance. It is the bestselling domain in Nigeria right now.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Everyone is looking for it, with over 5K registrations per day. With such numbers showing demand, some registrars are offering it at over â¦1000.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But here at Truehost, we say why to pay more when you can get it now at â¦900. Yes, you can save at least â¦100 if you choose us as your domain registrar in Nigeria.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you have the domain, go ahead and get started with the free hosting plan. This way, you can start building the website of your dreams without worrying about monthly payments. And only upgrade when you need and ready to do so.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That is why I want to show you how to get free hosting and domain in Nigeria now.</span></p>
<h2><b>Is it worth it getting free hosting in Nigeria?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is entirely up to you now.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Depending on the level of your website and its needs, what do you think?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The free hosting plan at Truehost comes with 1GB SSD storage. It is therefore recommended for those just starting out and building a personal website.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You also get a free SSL certificate in Nigeria.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you don’t already know, Google, the largest search engine in the world is favoring secure websites on their search results.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This means that if you want to have a fighting chance of ranking on search engines, you need an SSL certificate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What does it do?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, without an SSL, your website uses the HTTP protocol to communicate with the server where the files are stored. This is considered insecure since there is no encryption to protect data transferred from unauthorized access.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With an SSL, your site will be using the HTTPS protocol, which is secure.</span></p>
<h2><b>How to get free hosting and domain in Nigeria now</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Follow these steps to get free hosting and domain in Nigeria.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First, you need to register a domain name. This is the address people will be typing into their web browsers to access your site.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you came here, there is a high chance you typed Truehost.com.ng into your device. That is the domain name.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, pick a name depending on the topic of your website.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are building a website about ladies products, your domain could be something like ladiesproducts.com.ng, ladiesaccessories.com.ng, ladiesstuff.com.ng.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With a name idea, let’s get started with the registration process.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5945" src="https://truehost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/search-domain-name-300x91.png" alt="domain name search in nigeria" width="300" height="91" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First, type the name to the search box as shown above. By doing so, you will be able to know whether your chosen name is available or taken (registered) by someone else.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5946" src="https://truehost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/search-domain-name-available-300x71.png" alt="search-domain-name-available" width="300" height="71" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looks like the name is available. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So go ahead and click on </span><b>BUY IT NOW</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It should bring you here.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are two things I want you to do here:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First, go through the add-ons and tick the ones you want. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tick the DNS Management, it is free. Also, add ID Protection. This helps keep your identity online anonymous. We will hide your contact details to avoid scammers emailing or calling you.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Secondly, time to add free hosting.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This brings you here.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is where you can the free web hosting package.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Follow the third package down and click on Order Now.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That should add the package to your cart.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The next window will ask you to pick a domain name.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5950" src="https://truehost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/free-web-hosting-nigeria-2-300x143.png" alt="free hosting and domain in nigeria" width="300" height="143" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Go with the first option since you had already picked a domain name.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So click on </span><b>Use</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on your button right corner.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your configuration window is next.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5951" src="https://truehost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/free-web-hosting-nigeria-3-300x132.png" alt="free web hosting in Nigeria" width="300" height="132" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you can see in your order summary (right sidebar), is zero â¦. Which means you now have added free hosting in Nigeria into your cart.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you click continue, it takes you to an earlier step.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5952" src="https://truehost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/free-web-hosting-nigeria-4-300x96.png" alt="choosing domain name and hosting" width="300" height="96" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But if you look closely, there is a change; it now says, ‘Has Hosting.’</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Review items in your cart. Click the small bucket beside each item to remove it from the cart.</span></p>
