I want my own website: The Trinity
Most new websites owners will tell you right away there are certain steps which must take place prior to building your website. This article is for those of you who plan on having your own site someday but are not sure where to begin.
The Trinity:
First you must register your domain name. A domain name is also called a URL address, website address or registrar name. I would suggest coming up with a name that is either very close to your business name or very close to where you are planning on doing business. Try to avoid a long name or handle. The last thing someone searching for your website wants to do is type in a difficult word or acronym to find it.
There are a number of locations that provide domain name registration. Here are a few. Domain.com, registrar.com, register.com, mydomain.com etc… Most of these sites will give you a good deal on registering your domain name for a number of years.
Secondly you must obtain a host for your site. A host is a company that stores or holds your website files for the internet to access. There are a number of hosting companies out there. For example Godaddy.com, 1and1.com, bluehost.com, hostmonster.com etc… Be sure when you decide upon your host they don’t get over on you because you’re not sure what you need. I recommend researching what your website needs in order to perform properly then decide which host to go with. This will save you money in the long run. We can also host your site for less than 10.00 per month.
Third and lastly, you will need to choose someone to design or develop your website. Make sure if you’re having your site custom developed that you choose a development company that can perform exactly what you need. A website is more than just code. It is an extension of your business, and like anything in business should be done correctly and thought through. You shouldn’t have to have your site redesigned if it’s done properly the first time.
