Learn How to Start Your Own Website

[kishforums]

Do you want to learn how to start your own site? To set up a website, there are three steps you will need to take:

Get Your Domain Name:
A domain name is a name you want to call your website.[/url] For example, "yahoo.com", "youtube.com" and "wikipedia.org" are all domain names. To obtain a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. Take into consideration that you cannot buy a domain for life. You get it for a period of one to ten years. If you fail to renew the domain name at the end of its term, the registration of the domain will be revoked and the domain name may be acquired by another party.

Choose a Web Host and Sign Up For an Account:
A web hosting service provides you with online space. This enables you to get your web pages online at your registered domain name.

Design Your Web Pages and Get Them Online:

There are three ways to create and get your website online:

A- Some web hosts offer Easy-To-Use Site Builder that helps you build your web pages without difficulty, even if you are not skilled in using any website creating software. Their web builder is a WYSIWYG program (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get). This means that the finished page will display exactly the way it was designed.

B- You can create the pages offline with your favorite program (DreamWeaver, FrontPage, etc), and then upload them to your web host. This is another easy way to get your website online.

C- Frontpage Extensions allow you to publish your site directly from the FrontPage application. This means that you will not have to upload files through FTP, or another method. Microsoft FrontPage is a popular WYSIWYG HTML editor and web site administration tool from Microsoft.

************************************
Where Can You Get Started?
************************************

If you want to start your website we recommend purchasing your domain and hosting service from the same company. This way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some web hosts offer this gift today. These companies offer affordable services that fulfill all your requirements to set up a website (Domain Name, Hosting Service and Site Builder).

Don't trust dishonest claims like "Best web hosting only $1" or "Get the cheapest web hosting without sacrificing quality and features!". Take into consideration that some hosting companies are cheating and lying to their customers. It is very important that your service be uptime (functioning and available for use). It means you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and users can enter your website whenever they refer to your site address. If your hosting service is not uptime it can be catastrophic!

Hi
The Essential Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Own Website

1.
Get Your Domain Name

The first thing you need to do before anything else is to get yourself a domain name. A domain name is the name you want to give to your website. For example, the domain name of the website you're reading is "thesitewizard.com". To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. Getting a name does not get you a website or anything like that. It's just a name. It's sort of like registering a business name in the brick-and-mortar world; having that business name does not mean that you also have the shop premises to go with the name.

After you read that, you will need to know the steps to registering a domain name and the things you need to look out for when registering. You can find a detailed guide in the article How to Register Your Own Domain Name.

2.
Choose a Web Host and Sign Up for an Account

A web host is basically a company that has many computers connected to the Internet. When you place your web pages on their computers, everyone in the world will be able to connect to it and view them. You will need to sign up for an account with a web host so that your website has a home. If getting a domain name is ****ogous to getting a business name in the brick-and-mortar world, getting a web hosting account is ****ogous to renting office premises for your business.
