Hello all,
I'm going to share this method I used for getting domain and hosting for 1 year for 1 $. Well lets get right away to the thing.
First You can get domain like boncle sayed in his post from here:
Well I can't post links which sucks but You can find his thread by search for namecheap
So now when this is done head over to amazon and sign up there for aws(just google it).
Once You have registerd new account there You will get free hosting for 1 year but the catch is You will get only 15 gb traffic but this is just fine and You have to get familiar with amazon as it can be tricky.
So lets start with setting everything up on amazon.
What You want to do is to setup new instance of EC2. You do that by going to console and then click to EC2 and then to Instance and then pick Launch Instance.
Notice : You will recive now how to login to Your virtual server in cloud. I would go in details over this because its explained very well there. But basicly You will get .pem file with which You will login to server.
Once this is done You have to get an Elastic IP and assign it to Your instance. So go and generate that IP and now You will have to associate this IP to Your instance and now You have static IP for Your server.
Ok great, next what we want to do is to login to server and do the basic install and make this a webserver. So this is install apache,mysql or whatever else You use.
If you have picked ubuntu server this can be done with this next commands:
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install php5 php5-mysql
Ok this is basic stuff You will need to get a webserver.
Next thing what we want to do is setup DNS. First we need to get Route53 which is amazon service and get the dns servers from there and enter this in namecheap settings. This part might now work right away but give it time, as it needs for updating DNS servers.
So You do this by going to
Route53>Create Hosted Zone and there You enter Your website registered by namecheap.
Notice:
Link to Your site will not work with www in front for now , so we have to tweak this too.
We do this by going to route53>Hosted Zones>Go to Record Sets>Create Record Set
For name enter www, for type pick A - IPv4 Address and for Value enter Your ElasticIP address.
And thats all, now You have 1 year hosting for 1$
