Hi,
I am testing the free hosting (with an interest for adopting a paying option), but I am somewhat worried by the fact that Google does not seem to be willing to index my web site. I have registered it more than one week ago (addURL + Tools for web masters) and my pages do not show up neither on the search index (when I search my name + x10hosting), neither on the control board of the Tools for WM). On the latter, I have even registered a sitemap, but no data appears on the Google control panel (no error message either). I am quite lost at this stage. Can Google index sites hosted by 10xhosting (I have observed that FaceBook blocks my web site address)?
Is the fate of payed hosting better (if yes, why? different domain names?).

Also, I observe on the control panel of Google Tools for web masters that my domain is geographically targeted to Mexico, which is not at all optimal in my case (my site is in French and English). Any idea for changing this (they explain that this depends on the registration of the main domain, is mx registered in Mexico?)?

I would be very grateful if you can tell me what you think about these problems.

mx is indeed mexico.

Also, it looks like it in indexed to me: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:yildizoglu.x10.mx

Thanks a lot! So, I am stuck with a mexican target for my site. Not very useful to me unfortunately. No way to change it? Also, your suggestion corresponds to the test that I have already done and only a small stupid page is visible from my site, which is quite big (more than one hundred HTML pages for my courses alone). SO your test rather confirms what I was observing, my site is not correctly indexed by Google. Without a solution for these problems, I will not be able to adopt x10hosts as my paid server :-( since the service would not be enough useful to me.

I would recommend getting a .com domain (or .co.uk, whatever). You will get better search engine rankings etc.

Also, if you're using free hosting to test premium hosting, it aint quite like that - free hosting is often pretty slow due to the sheer volume of people using, and abusing, the servers. Premium doesn't get this, as less people are on each server and people don't abuse it.

Hi Alex and Masshuu and others,
My web site purely educational and I would not like to pay more for a com domain name, even if I am ready to adopt a paid solution from x10hosts (illuminate seems perfect to me). But, being indexed by Google is very important, since my actual website serves students from many countries (and, especially from Africa), I would not like to hide the web site from them.

I have tried co.cc but I have other problems for making Google recognize as a legit host (URL forwarding does not allow me the authentication process required by Google WebMaster Tools = putting a small html on the root ot putting a meta tag on the header of the index file, both fail to be read because of the URL forwarding, and I have tested both solutions with, or without hiding the target URL). I am not enough competent in DNS to try the solutions that are based on this service. So, any suggestions for 1/migrating to illuminate and, 2/ being able to make the site indexed correctly by Google? Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Murat
PS. I have also tried to choose another domain from the host administration panel, but I have rather messed things, instead of solving them :-(

Use name-servers instead of URL forwarding.
In the co.cc control panel Simply select name-servers, enter ns1.x10hosting.com and ns2.x10hosting.com
Then go into cpanel, click Parked Domains
then add the co.cc domain and you are done.
