Sooner or later, many students come to the conclusion that they need their own website. It doesn’t matter if it’s a personal page, educational project or start-up it’s all the same to publish a site online at least 3 things - the site itself, the domain for it and hosting. How to make a site in this post, I will not tell, but how to effectively use the latest offers of registrars and hosters - please.
Let's start with the domain. Until December 31 of this year, the company .master carries out the action “
Domain as a holiday ”, according to which anyone can purchase a domain in the .RU zone for only 196 rubles for a whole year. Agree, quite profitable.
Domain bought. Now you need to find hosting for him cheaper, but with a good quality service. I have 2 options for you. And both of them are valid only for students.
Hosting from the already familiar company .masterhost. Already a long time ago, they, together with Microsoft, announced the availability of the “
Student ” tariff, according to which you can get a third-level domain (example.studenthost.ru) for free, 500MB of free space for the site, IIS7, SL3 support, high-quality technical service and many more bonuses. It should be noted that this type of hosting is not intended for commercial activities. An already acquired second-level domain can be added as a synonym (alias). For scientific and educational organizations there is Unix-hosting at the “
Educational ” tariff.

A second, much more interesting option has become available today - a joint proposal from Microsoft and Parking.ru. Full
hosting for students for very modest money. For only 50 rubles per month, you can get 500MB of disk space, support ASP.NET 3.5, MVC, PHP5 (with Zend Optimizer), SSI, SQL Server 2008 WE / MySQL and other goodies. The usual price of such a hosting is 230 rubles per month. Saving 2160 rubles a year! Fans of virtualization can take a virtual machine: ½ core, RAM 512 MB, with a disk space of 25 GB, 200 MB of mail and Windows Web Server 2008R2 on board. It will cost only 300 rubles per month of use (the usual price is 800 rubles / month). To participate in the promotion, you must be registered in the
Dreamspark program. All the details can be found on the
website of the promotion .
As you can see, making your site accessible to other Internet users is quite simple and cheap. Especially if you are a student :)
