Free Genealogy Website Hosting
Welcome to AncestryHost.com! It is the intent of this website to pass along the rich blessing of having a genealogy website on to you. A few years back, my wife and I created genealogy websites to make our rich family heritage more readily accessible to our distant relatives and for the rest of the world to enjoy. Since that time, we have been fortunate to meet relatives from all corners of the world who have benefited from our work. Furthermore, they have always had something to contribute to our research!
We are frequently contacted about how we developed our websites and how one might do the same thing. For this reason, we opened AncestryHost.com to allow others to create and develop their own genealogy websites with a little less burden. Please read on to learn more about our free service and how you can get your very own website for no cost at all. Oh ya', THERE IS NO CATCH!
How does it work?
In a nut shell… we are allowing people to “host” their genealogy website on our servers at no cost. We simple give you space on our servers, but you have to create your own website. “But how do I create my own website?” you ask! There are several ways.
Most people use a program such as PAF or Family Tree Maker. These programs can actually create a website for you with all of your genealogy research in just a matter of seconds. After it creates a website for you, simply upload it to our servers and voilà, you are on the internet.
Another program that works great is called The Next Generation in Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNG for short). It costs about $30 and is well worth the investment. It will professionally display your pedigrees, photographs, family history stories, and countless other functions. All you have to do is buy their program, upload it to our servers, and you’re off!
We’re likely making this sound easier than it is! Don’t worry; we can give you a little help. But please keep in mind that we are offering our servers and time for free, so we don’t offer “tech support” but we can help you here and there as needed. Please keep in mind that you are only registering for free webhosting. We will not be creating a family history website for you; that is your adventure! We simply provide you with server space to upload your family history website.
As you can see, we are just getting started with this website. However, you can still get your free website going. To begin, simply fill out our quick application Upon approval, you will receive FTP login information to begin uploading your site.
