Free web host Tutorial2 - using FTP method
Some people told me they have problem using the Website Builder(Automatic method) and They get No license Error. That's why I will show you the FTP way(manual method).....(that I use to make my websites). Anyways, I hope you will be able to make it!
If you have on own paid domain (like www.mysite.com) at godaddy or other service (and you used it to register at the free host). You should go at the site of your domain and find something that says on settings about "DNS management" or "Name Servers" etc and Delete the old name servers and add these ones:
ns01.000webhost.com
ns02.000webhost.com
And then wait 24-48 hours for the DNS to be updated in order to follow the steps
1.
Download the FTP program, that will allow you to upload files to
000webhost server
I use FileZilla as my FTP
program, there are many out there. Personally, I work with this.

double click on public_html....when it goes into the folder, select ALL
files there and click your delete button to DELETE everything in there
and let the program open there. Go to step 2 now!
2. Now we will download WordPress. This is how we will make our site!
Download Link: wordpress.org/latest.zip
After you download the files. Unzip and inside wordpress folder you will see these files(See image below). Select them ALL and drag them with the mouse inside the FileZilla in the Public_html folder! ( I assume you are still inside the Public_html Folder)

patient :)
