For beginners, I recommend you the basics of how to make a website on the internet, I know some of people know nothing at all, including me at the first time. In fact, it’s easy to start.

How to create a website with wordpress and start your online business

Most of the time, a lot beginners think that in order to create a website, you should know html etc, and should know websites build tools, just like “Dreamweaver”. At first, I do think like this, but infact, you neednot to know these.

Create a website and make the site on the internet, other people can visit your website, let’s go.
A website including:

  1. Domain.

    A domain name is your address on the web. It’s the information that customers type in to find your website. Just like “Google.com”  “yahoo.com”  “dobeweb.com” , these are  “.com” domain, also there are other domain name extensions are .net, .org, .biz, .info, .us etc. There are also other extensions like .tv and .tk but don’t waste your time with those. Recommond you use the most common “.com” as your company’s domain. You can buy your domain on Godaddy .

  2. Web Host.

    The web hosting is the space where to store your websites files, just like your images, script etc, and transmits it to the internet so that when someone types in your domain name, your web site appears. A server is just a fancy computer that “serves up” your web site to the internet. A reliable with great support web hosting provider is very important, if the hosting often “offline” how can you continue your business. I recommend you use lunarpages and Godaddy web hosting, and you know, this website is running on  lunarpages server, and I have use their hosting for 4 years. GoDaddy.com – 20% off Shared Hosting Plans!

  3. Script.

    You needn’t to know how to coding, you can use the most popular open source script or premium script, depends on your needs. You can use free CMS (content management system) just like Joomla! Drupal, or other free php scripts such as php forums, php photo galleries, php e-commerce solutions and many other open source scripts. The “WordPress ” is a very powerful blogging or CMS platform, you can do a lot with wordpress. So, you need not to know coding, but you should know your needs, here is cool script website where you can down a lot free script, I recommend you choose php script, which is the most popular one.

Now, you have know something about the website, here is a simple step of making your website online.

  1. Buy a domain
  2. Buy a web host
  3. Create a relationship of your domain and your webhosting. Find your website hosting’s IP, and create “A” records and CNAME records (more details)
  4. Upload your script.
