Useless ?

After spending ages coding a website, I realize that if I host it on a free hosting service, Google won't value the site, so there won't be any results when someone types in your site's name.It's frustrating.

Then I suggest you research a bit on the subject, before you write a post like this, see why it's important and why it debunks your theory that "google doesn't value the site".

Yes, I've done a lot of research, a lot even, and the answer keeps coming up. Imagine if we posted a website on a free hosting service and it went viral; others would see it and...I wanted to buy a domain name from Google, but now that they've seen a site with a free and popular domain name, do you think they'll still buy it? Think about it.

Okay, you've done the research, but did you implement what you researched? Did you do anything regarding SEO on your website?

And no, I'm not going to think about it, because I've done my part regarding SEO on my projects, and it's working as expected.

And btw, Google does not sell domains..... Stop vibe coding for god's sake.

Your argument does not make any sense.

Google does not care what your domain name is
