The Website Creation Process
Now if you chose not to use a website builder, you are probably curious to know what is involved in making a website. Here I explain the three main steps of creating a website.
Creating a website basically involves the following 3 steps:
STEP 1 >> | STEP 2 >> | STEP 3 >> |
---|---|---|
Register a Domain Name | Get a Web Host | Build your Website |
A domain name is the thing that looks like mysite.com. You register these on an annual basis.
Domain names can cost anywhere between $10 and $50 per year. I'll show you how to get one for $1.99 (below). |
A web host is a company that enables your website to be viewed by the rest of the world, 24/7.
A good hosting plan can be anywhere between $10 per month and many thousands per month. Below, I'll show you excellent hosting plans starting from $5.35 per month. |
You can either build it yourself or use a website builder.
Below, I'll show you an online website builder that includes templates and hosting. And the great thing is, it's cheaper than most hosting plans! |
