Having general idea but confused on how to create a website – No worries. We will guide you with all the possible knowledge on building a website.
To start off with creating a website, firstly let us try and understand what exactly is a website.
By definition website is just a collection of documents, or files that you can access with the help of internet. Now moving towards with a technical definition, website is just a single domain that consist of different web pages.
Still finding it difficult to understand the technical knowledge of a website, never mind. We will guide you with all the possible knowledge on how to create a website in just 4 simple steps.
Step 1 – Choose a type for your website
Since you have already established an idea for your business, the very basic step is to categorize your business. One of the best parts of the web world is that any person with an idea in their mind can build a website practically for free. So let us believe that you have got a brilliant idea for a website. The very next step is selecting a name for your website. Here you can check the availability of the name you want for your website.
Step 2 – Register your Domain
A domain is basically the name of your website, it gives an identity to the website.
Getting a domain name involves registering the name which you want for your website. There are multiple sites available online where you can get your domain registration done. We would recommend you to check the domain registry and make sure that the domain name which you desire to create is not already taken. Registering with a domain name gives you ownership of it.
There are a number of factors to consider when adding a domain name, such as:
- Availability
- Relevance
- Short and precise
- Specific
- Domain extensions (.com, .org, .net)
- Number and dashes
All of the above factors will help you make the best choice for your business from the available options.
Step 3 – Get Hosting for your website
Web hosting is a service that makes your website available to be viewed by other viewers on the internet. The web host stores all the pages of your website and makes them available to you if you want to publish your own website, you’ll need to sign up for a “Website hosting service.”
Finding a good Web hosting shouldn’t be too hard since there are many hosting providers available today, ranging from free services to specialized exclusive services. Just make sure the Web host you choose offers good technical support and ensures little or no downtime.
A useful tip – The best way to identify which server to use is to estimate how big your site will be and how much traffic you expect before signing up for a Web hosting service.
Step 4 –Set up your website, choosing a theme and customize the design.
This was the last step. Now you can start with your website.
So far we have built up a website name, Domain name and a Hosting server, and now it’s time to get the website finally get started. Though there is a sign of relief hearing this to be the last step, this is the lengthiest procedure out of them all.
