How to make a website

The whole process of how to make a website seems a simple for me but looking at it from another perspective I can see how it must be quite confusing to those who have never done it before and who don't have the 10 years of website building experience like me.

So here I will present you with a beginners overview on the process of making a website with your own domain name. (as opposed to using blogs or free webspace)

Domain:

You need to purchase the domain name of your choice. Make sure you purchase it from a reputable company such as 'enom' or 'GoDaddy'. Make sure that you are allowed to configure the NAMESERVERS yourself at any time.

Hosting:

You need to rent out space on a websever where you will keep your web pages and images. Unless you are planning on a mega site with thousands of webpages,or a site with a lot of video or audio content then you should be ok with contracting a fairly basic package. This should cost around $10 per week and would typically include around 100Gb of disk space and 1000Gb of monthly bandwidth with capacity to configure multiple email accounts.

Two reputable web hosting companies you might want to consider are iPowerWeb.com and IX Web Hosting

Putting it all together:

Once you have a domain name and a webhost then you need to go into the configuration panel for your domain name and enter your hosting company's nameserver details that you whould ave been provided with upon signing up. The nameserver tells any browser that tries to access your pages exactly where to look for them and on which web server. Once this is completed then in a period of less than 24 hours you should begin to able to access your webpages by simply typing in your domain in any browser.

try using yahoo free website if it is a simple html website setup, they give the most space/ pages with least adverts for free.

the easiest website to start with without any knowledge is

http://www.moonfruit.com they give you a free website without adverts for 15 days i think. then they put adverts on but its still free, hope this helps

Hi,

I am a web professional I used NVU as well as Dreamweaver, but if you really want to make a professoinal website like a pro, one software wins hands down....nothing is compared starting from the price and features. It is called Xsitepro just watch this video http://www.xsitepro.com/index_r.html?w=video&p . The price is one time $197 and you can make unlimited no. of websites you wish.

I made an informative website to teach people how to make a successful website. Making a website will be of any use unless you get free targeted visitors. The step by step approach is here http://www.how2makeawebsite.com

http://shortbuswebmasters.com has created a program called HomeIncome30, located at http://homeincome30.com that takes you through the entire process of creating, installing, and maintaining any website. It's made for beginners. It will also guide you through the affiliate process and inform you of scams perpetrated on newbs. Doesn't cost anywhere near $197, either.
