To create your Website, the first thing you need to have is a domain name.

 But, what is a domain name? A domain name is your Websites identification in the Internet. If you look at the Web address of a site, the domain name is usually the first set of words following the triple ‘w’. Company emails also have them right after the ampersand.

Choose a domain name that is simple and short.

Registration of your domain name will give you an exclusive right to its use for the duration of the registration’s affectivity, which is usually annual or bi-annual. Since the words making up a domain name make no distinction between capital letters and small letters, and there are no spaces in between words, you may insert a dash between the words of your domain name if you feel it would help clarify its meaning.

After choosing your Website’s domain name, your next task is to find a Website host.

 A Web hosting service enables your Website to be accessible to Internet users. Once your Website has been uploaded into your Web host’s server, anybody who types in your unique Web address would be able to find company website based on name. However, not all Web hosts are the same. They vary in the types of services that they offer their clients. You would want to choose a Web host that is reliable and has minimal downtime. You can also inquire about their additional services, such as email for your business, data bases or media streaming services. Some of them may offer a Web content management system as part of their services.

You can also choose the length of time you would be leasing space on the Web host’s server.

 Typical Web hosting packages range from one to three years. It is a good idea to sign up for a minimum of two years. Internet search engines usually provide higher rankings to Websites that have been present on the Internet for a long time. Higher rankings mean your Website would be more visible in search results, and consequently, increase your chances of getting visitors.

After you have chosen your domain name and your Website host, you can now tackle the actual designing and building of your site. This used to require knowledge of HTML, or hypertext markup language. Now, you can go about designing your Website even if you don’t know HTML. You can do this by using Word Press. With Word Press, you don’t have to design your layout from scratch.
