Does free hosting include a domain
Free hosting does not include domain registration. You need your own domain to activate the service correctly at miHosting.
Introduction
miHosting free hosting gives you the hosting service at no cost, but it does not include the domain registration itself. To activate the account, you need your own domain, whether it is registered with miHosting or somewhere else.
It is important to separate both ideas: the domain is the address of your site, and the hosting is the server space where the project lives.
Domain and hosting are not the same thing
- the domain is something like
yourdomain.com - the hosting is the server where the site is stored
You can have a domain without hosting, and you can have hosting before the domain is fully pointed. For the site to work, both parts must be connected correctly.
What you need to use free hosting
- Your own registered domain.
- The ability to change DNS or related records.
- A valid request that fits the free hosting rules.
What if you still do not have a domain
If you do not yet have one, the first step is to register it. After that, you can connect it to your free hosting account.
Frequently asked questions
Is the domain also free
No. The free part refers to the hosting service, not to the domain registration fee.
Can I use a domain registered with another company
Yes. The important part is being able to point it correctly to miHosting.
Can I request the plan with a subdomain
That is not the intended setup. The plan is designed for a real domain you own.
Conclusion
Free hosting does not replace the domain itself. If you want the service to work correctly, you need your own domain and proper domain configuration from the start.
