Great Idea Online – Domain, Web Hosting and CMS
You have a brilliant idea and you would like to share it with others. The best approach is to set up a website and publish your thoughts. You may go for a blog where you will allow visitors to comment your writing or just a simple website with few pages. There are few steps from the first idea to the fully operational website. Unfortunately, these steps are a big obstacle for many users seeking for online presence. The fact is that these steps are pretty simple and you need no specialized knowledge or skills.
If you only need to publish few pages or a blog and you don’t care about creating a brand name or you need a simple homepage then you should go for web companies that offer free accounts where you can crate your own pages. Just Google for “free blog” or “free homepage” and you will find plenty of them. But if you would like to have your own domain and have everything under control then you should follow some simple steps.
The first and the most important step is choosing the right domain. There are few top level domains like.com,.org and.net which are universal. Before you can register a domain you should find a registrar. Registrar is a company which offers various domain services. Find an easy-to-remember name and check it with com top level domain. If it is free than you are a lucky one, if not then try with org or net. You have also the possibility to find a domain under your country top level domain (e.g. us, de, it, in, ca, nl, and many others). The disadvantage of such domain is that your website will be targeting primarily visitors from that country. com, org and net are universal top level domains and it is best to put some additional effort to find a free domain.
Now you have the domain and you need some place where you will store and publish web pages. This is called web hosting and there is huge competition. Simply Google for “web hosting” and you will get it. If you intend to host only one domain then there are many cheap offers for single domain hosting. But if you plan to add more domains in the future then go for hosting plan that allows many domains and databases and has no disk space or bandwidth limitations. There are also many “everything unlimited” plans. They are not unlimited but will satisfy most of your needs. Don’t forget to compare prices. It is also a good idea to read some reviews and learn about the reliability and reputation.
Now you have the domain and web hosting. You need some tools to create your pages. The simplest approach is to use some content management system (CMS) like Joomla or WordPress. Joomla is universal with plethora of extensions and is suitable for almost any kind of page. Worpress is more oriented toward blogs, but has also many extension and seems to be more simple for beginners. Many hosting providers offer automatic CMS installation so you should check at your hosting control panel what are the options. In the case there is no automatic installation you will have to do it manually. All you have to do is to download the script and upload it via FTP to your hosting account. You should check with your hosting company how to do it and with your registrar how to configure your domain to point to your hosting provider. Many registrars offer hosting and many hosting companies offer also domain registration. Before you make a decision compare prices. These vary significantly. To install your CMS you will probably need a MySQL database. You should have an option to create one at your hosting control panel. Once you have created your database you simple follow online instructions which will guide you through the installation process.
If everything was successfully completed you have now a live and running website. Now you can focus on your brilliant idea and start creating the content for your website. In the case anything went wrong or you have some questions, first try to ask Google. You will find a lot of answers, tips, hints and solutions for your problem.
