Trying to learn how to put together a website for the first time can be extremely frustrating if you're doing it on your own. For this reason Ive decided to write this articles so that you'll not only know how to set it up but also how everything works together.
Initially we'll discuss the essential components necessary for creating a website. If you get the big picture of how they all work together then it'll makes things much smoother for you because you wont be in the dark on why you need to do certain things.
There are 2 technical requirements that need to be taken care of first before your website can go live. You need to get hosting and a domain name. Hosting is important because that's where you'll put your files so that people can see your website. Hosting companies provide hard drives for people to store all their websites content and then they secure and make sure the website is always up and running. Hosting start at a very cheap rate and can be found for as low as $4/month.
The second technical requirement you need to take care of is your domain name. The biggest domain name registrar is GoDaddy and is the company I always go with because they have great service and its easy to use. The domain is the www.domainname.com part of your website.
To connect your hosting account with your domain name you'll need to get a hold of your nameservers from your hosting account. The hosting company will usually send you those in their welcome email. Take those and plug them into your domain name account and then wait a few minutes. Soon enough they'll be connected and you'll be nearly there.
Next go into your hosting account and find the "Fantastico" application that it offers. There you'll be presented with a lot of different options. These are all different content management systems. When you install one of these it makes it very easy to get your website up and running. I personally use WordPress and I recommend installing that to use as your CMS.
Your last step now is to complete your website by adding in the content and wala! You first website is all done!
