How To Host Your Personal Website On Google’s Servers For Free

At the present time, everyone is hosting a personal or portfolio website to showcase his information on the Web. If you wish to host your own personal website but don’t really have to budget for it, this post is for you.

This simple tutorial will show you how you can host a basic website (built using HTML & CSS) on Google’s servers, for free. And you can easily complete this between 1 and 3 hours. 

Technically, Google does not provide free hosting solutions, but they do provide aPlatform As A Service (PAAS) known as Google App Engine (GAE).

There are quite a few advantages with hosting websites on Google App Engine. First, it should be more reliable since your site will get served through Google’s own data centers.

Second, if you have a low traffic website, it is highly likely that you won’t have to spend a penny for web hosting. You get 1 GB of free storage space for hosting your images, HTML web pages and other files and 1 GB of bandwidth per day. 

With a regular web hosting company, you rend some storage space on their server, you then transfer your HTML and other files to that server using FTP or cPanel and your website is ready to serve. Google App Engine works in similar manner except that the file transfer mechanism is a bit different.

Step 1: Go to appengine.google.com and create a new application. If you have never used App Engine before, you might be asked to verify your mobile phone number before you can create a new app.

Step 2: Give your application a name – it should be unique and may only include lowercase alphabets and digits. For this example, our app identifier is “thisismyawesomewebsite”.

Step 3: The next two sub-steps may scare some of you but trust me; they simply require you download and run two installers in the given sequence.

3a. Download and install Python from python.org.
3b. Download and install App Engine SDK from this code.google.com.

Step 4: Download and unzip this file – website.zip – somewhere on your desktop. It contains a basic website with some HTML pages, images and CSS that we’ll try to host with Google App Engine.

Step 5: Open the app.yaml file with notepad and replace the word ‘labnol’ with the application identifier that you created in Step 2 above. Save the changes.

Step 6: Finally it’s time to deploy /upload our website to Google App Engine. Open the Google App Engine Launcher program from the Start Menu, choose File – > Add Existing Application and browse to the folder where you unzipped the website.

Hit the deploy button, input your Google Account credentials and within seconds, your website should become available online at abc.appspot.com where abc is your unique app identifier. Later, if you add or modify any web page, press Deploy again and your new /edited files will get uploaded to App Engine.

Your website will be hosted as a sub-domain of appspot.com but you can register a web domain with Google Apps and map the App Engine website to your own domain.

 I hope this helps. If you have any question or suggestion please use the comment box below and I’ll get back to you.

Facebook has announced the expansion of the Audience Network to include support for mobile web, bringing the value of native ad formats and people-based marketing to a new set of publishers and enabling 2.5 million Facebook advertisers to reach more of the people they care about on mobile devices.

What this simply means, is that publishers can now monetize their high-quality content with Facebook ads and advertisers can now expand their campaigns beyond Facebook, mobile apps and into mobile websites.

Prior to the announcement, Facebook Audience Network (FAN) only allowed app developers to monetize their mobile apps by tapping into Facebook's powerful advertising platform. Now that it has been extended to mobile web, you can now monetize your iOS and Android apps, as well as mobile websites with targeted ads.

Unlike other networks, the Audience Network rewards quality publishers based on the value they create for advertisers.

Facebook Audience Network Ad Types

The Audience Network gives publishers and developers the option to choose between three different ad units: banners, interstitials andnative ads.

All three ad units have access to the same great targeting and advertisers, since the ads are automatically rendered to fit the unit you chose. 

For mobile websites publishers, you can choose from high performing native ad units, 300x250 medium rectangle, and 320x50 banners to deliver ads from Audience Network. Each format is a simple JavaScript integration into your mobile website.

It is worthy of note that Facebook interstitials ads are not available for mobile web i.e for apps only. 

Facebook Audience Network Payment

Payments are extracted when you accumulate at least $100 in revenue. You'll receive payments on the 21st of each month for the previous month's balance.

Facebook Audience Network Policies

In order to ensure that publishers are offering a high quality advertising experience, Facebook requires that all apps serving Facebook ads are in compliance with the Audience Network policies.

All apps and sites in the network will be reviewed by automated systems as well as manually checked for quality and compliance. Facebook promises on-going quality review to ensure continued adherence to thepolicies and native ad design guidelines.

How To Get Started

To get started, follow this guide to set up Audience Network in your apps and mobile websites.

Note : 

When adding the banner code to your blog, set testmode="true" if you want to see Facebook test ads. If you can see test ads, your implementation works correctly and people will be able to see ads in your app once it's live after approval by Facebook.

You will be notified by email and Facebook alert when your app is approved. Approval might take few business days.
