If you purchased your domain name after Jan. 14, 2011, you cannot set up a free hosting account. Instead, see Walkthrough: Setting Up InstantPage for the First Time.
You cannot remove the ads from your website if you are using a free hosting account. For ad-free hosting, you must upgrade your account. For more information, see Upgrading or Downgrading Your Hosting Account.
