Jst Tan Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Hello everyone! I recently discovered MyOwnFreeHost from other sites, such as InfinityFree and etc. I will launch my personal site in the upcoming weeks, and I am planning to get a domain (.com) for it too. However, I notice that MyOwnFreeHost needed name servers too, does it meant that I needed to have a separate domain for the reseller, or could I use the subdomain for my personal site?

Well on the .com domain youll have an page to sign up for the hosting and similar. You can still crete a subdomain or just create an account to host your own personal site, independent of the MOFH reseller page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst Tan Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 Hi there! Thanks for your reply. For my personal sites,I was planning to host it on the main root too, and I actually planning to use another host that is closer to my current residence in Malaysia. That why I having the issue. I was thinking if it is possible to use a subdomain for the page to sign up for hosting and other pages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However having an subdomain that points to another host is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then is it possible to host the main domain on MyOwnFreeHost while being able to use a www subdomain on another hosting for my main website (which is hosted on Vercel or GitHub Pages), or does MyOwnFreeHost also need to reserve a subdomain like www and etc for the reseller account?

Since the main domain needs to be MOFH, I guess this is the only method, but any suggestions is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinkerMan Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 What I would recommend is do what I did and use two different domains. One domain for MOFH, and one domain from your homepage. This also has the additional benefit of search engines not punishing your homepage for the content uploaded by your users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst Tan Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) Hmm, two domains is too costly to me, but I wanted to try out to make a web host, while operating my own personal website. It really make me curious, on how my homepage will be affected in SEO by the content from my users, when they use their own domain? Or is it required for them to use my domain?

luluhoste Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Il seront obliger d'utiliser un sous-domaine de votre domaine pour l'inscription si vous utiliser le mode d'inscription par défaut... Si vous utiliser une zone client, vous avez le choix... ---trad google--- They will be required to use a subdomain of your domain for registration if you use the default registration mode...

They will get an subdomain automatically. If you were to use cloudflare, your users wouldnt be able to use these subdomains, however it would still work with their own domains. This would create confusion tho. Domains are really cheap nowadays - arent the 5 extra dollars worth it to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm due to inflation, multiple domains is expensive to me to be honest, and I actually considering of making the hosting free of ads and etc, so users wouldn't be annoyed with the ads and all, so I am finding ways to cut cost.

A good idea though how will you earn some money to pay for the current domain if you cannot run some few ads. Anyway this idea of yours is great especially if you already have affiliates on ifast since you will be paying bills from your earnings. You can also be generous enough to sponsor the free domains and set it in search away that it can only be used on your hosting platform, i mean be the one being billed instead of the client, but again you need to run ads so that you can stongly earn from ads at the same time earn from affiliates so that you can also have something for your pocket too 🤑 Edited November 20, 2023 by Vawiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It make me curious by what do you mean by I being billed instead of the client through? Speaking of earning, I thinking of displaying a few affiliate content on my hosting, so users could use my affiliate links, and I earn a commission to cover the cost of the hosting, although is this possible?

I got it wrong i thought you will also provide free custom domains. About placing few affiliate products is what i mean by placing few ads. ads are generally affiliate program that we earn based on clicks or purchases Edited November 20, 2023 by Vawiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, I mean I want the hosting, to be free from any ads (which means no ads). I don’t hv enough money to give free hosting for me, especially with the high inflation and high taxes for profit here in my country, it is impossible for me to do it.

Jst Tan Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 If subdomain is required, are there any methods in order for me to re-earn the cost of domain? Without ads from Google AdSense and similar site through, since I prefer affiliate instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only have one domain name that you use, then yes. Any client who signs up gets a subdomain of your main domain. If clients abuse that subdomain (and trust me, they will), your main domain will also be punished by search engines and anti-virus software. 13 hours ago, Jst Tan said: multiple domains is expensive to me to be honest, and I actually considering of making the hosting free of ads and etc, so users wouldn't be annoyed with the ads and all, You can get domains pretty cheap. I would recommend a .com or something from your main website, but you only need something like .top or .xyz for your users. If you are just using affiliate marketing to make money, you are almost certainly going to be losing money for a long time, unless you are also using affiliate links that are outside iFN, and if you are, that’s basically just advertising anyways, and is annoying. Might as well just use ads, you get more money out of it. Just put one or two on the page, and don’t use pop-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastelPichi Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 You can get a .top domain for 3.35$ a year from GoDaddy. Per month: 0.28$. According to an screenshot, you get about 0.40$ in affiliate commisions per Month from an Ultimate Premium Monthly Subscriber. So one client that upgrades would in theory be enough to cover an domain. However users that use Free Hosting often aren't really the kind of people that want to spend 8$ a month on hosting. Also keep in mind that you cannot cashout your money up until you reach 25$ in commisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
