You might be wondering what the steps are to creating a website. Here are the four basic steps to follow, and some sage advice at the end. 1. Before you can put up a website, you need to find it a home. A URL, or domain name, as it's also called, is the address where your new website will reside. The most popular domain names end with .com (dot com) but there are several other extensions that can be used such as; .net, .org, etc. In Canada it's valuable to use a .ca extension if you're wanting to primarily target Canadian visitors. 2. Now you need to find a home for your website files to live. This is called a hosting service. It's simply a computer that houses your files and information related to your website. When your domain name is entered into a web browser the host computer shares the files with the visitor. You'll find lots of good hosting companies on the internet. I use HostGator for all of my clients @ about $10.00 bucks per month. 3. Once you've got your domain name and hosting nailed down, you'll want to get busy on your new web design. If it's a personal website you're developing there are lots of free website solutions online. Some of these you'll find within your hosting account. These templates are fun since they don't require any coding knowlege at all, and anyone can put up a website. I don't recommend this route if you're website is for your business. Why? Well the fact is that businesses require targeted traffic in order to get customers from their websites. This is a skill that you'll likely want to hire a professional web designer for. 4. Now it's time to upload, or publish your website. This is simply the action of uploading your website files to your hosting computer. You likely won't need this step if you are using the do it yourself quickie websites, but rather click on the "Publish" button to publish your website to the internet. Well I hope these basic steps will be helpful to you. Be sure to do some research and shop around for a place to buy your domain names, and hosting account. I like to use. www.sibername.com, and HostGator.com. If you can, find a domain name that has an important keyword in it. I truly hope this little article will prove to be some help to you in getting your website online.
