Recently, Taobao launched a free website hosting activity, which provides free virtual host space for independent websites and allows Taobao users to place recommended content on their websites to make money. For new webmasters who want to build their own websites, it is a good opportunity to create their own independent websites without the need to purchase space for a fee.
