So you’ve figured out those “Free” websites just aren’t working for you and you want to make the next step. As you sit in front of your computer, you’re probably wondering what you have to do to get your own website up and working.
Well, you can call or contact us. we’ll help you through it all, from beginning to end. Although we certainly want to partner with you and make the whole experience easy, you may also want to know about the process … so here’s how the professionals tackle building a site.
- Pick and register your domain name 1st. Obviously, you want a domain name that speaks to who your website is going to attract. Spend time choosing. It’s not so easy to change a domain name and site after it’s all up and running.
- Keep the name short …The shorter the better!
- Try and link the name to your website content. It’s no use calling your website walestowatch.com if you’re selling cars.
- A great company that I highly recommend for domain purchases is 123eHosts. You can find and register your domain name here.
- After registering your domain name, you’ll have to find a “Hosting” company. There are lots out there. Some way better than others both in service, price and quality. Your hosting company basically rents you space on their “Servers’. This is where your website files/site will be uploaded to. I’ve searched and check out every imaginable Hosting company out there. So far the one that I think offers the best all round price, quality and tech support is 123eHosts.com. Our site runs on their server. So ..if you need a Hosting Company, check them out. I recommend their yearly “Premium” package.
