How to Create a Website

Welcome! If you found this page, you are obviously ardent to know what is involved in making a website.  Let’s start from here.

What You Need to Start Your Website

There are two things you absolutely must have to build a website:

1) A domain name

2) A web host

Once you got these two things, then I can say you are ready to build your site.

What is a domain name?

Before you even think about building your website, you should register a domain name. A domain name is the thing that looks like this: “yourdomain.com”.

Your domain name represents the URL (or permanent web address) of your website. Therefore, when anyone types in “yourdomain.com” or “www.yourdomain.com”, they will see your website.

You register your domain name through a domain name registrar. You register this on an annual basis.  Domain name can cost anywhere between $4 and $50 per year.

Find a Web host

Once you got the domain name now it is the time to host the website.  Web hosting is a service which allocates space for your websites on computer servers that are connected to the Internet 24/7.

You can host your website at your place or buy some plan from a web hosting company.

A good hosting plan can be anywhere between $10 per month and many thousands per month.

Build your Website

You can either build it yourself or use a web developer or firm to do that. Website building basically involves 2 steps: Making a web page and setting up a website.

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

    I wouldn’t say I completely agree on certain issues, but you certainly have a unique perspective. Anyway, I enjoy the quality you bring to the blogosphere and that this isn’t just another abandoned, made-for-adsense site! Take care…

    Wow!, this was a top quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I keep putting it off and never seem to get something done

    Akshaya Tritiya falls on the third Tithi (Lunar day) of Bright Half (Shukla Paksha) of Hindu month of Vaishakha., when the Sun and Moon are in exaltation; they are simultaneously at their peak of brightness, which happens only once every year.

    In 2010, the date of Akshaya Trithiya is May 16.

    I wish more people would write blogs like this that are actually interesting to read. With all the garbage floating around on the internet, it is rare to read a blog like yours instead.
