This guide is for webmasters at a begining level of webhosting/webhotel and want to create an private- or company-site without learn every single term. For the more experienced webmaster we would like to recommend our guide: To chose webhotel.
Register a domain
First of all you gotta chose a domain name. Domain name is the adress where people from all over the world can find Your website. Users are just typing your adress in their browser (i.e. Internet Explorer or Mozilla) to get access to your website. I.e. the adress to this page is: www.first-in-webhosting.com. There are very many different types of domain suffixes. I.e. .com is for commercial, .buzz is for bussiness, .museum is for museums and so on. Also every country got their own domain suffix i.e.: .se is for sweden, .dk is for denmark and so on.
Every webhotel we got in our Webhotels section will let you register a domain if you want to when you register an account.
Webdesign
You gotta design your webpages. You can read more about this in our Webdesign section. Webdesign means the way youpresent the information on your page in an intressting and atraccting way. There are two options:
You design your website on your own. There are computer software especially for creating websiters such as Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft Frontpage. This option is much cheaper but it also absorbs very much time learning to use these programs for creating a nice looking page.If you dont have any former experience of webdeisgn we recommend the option below.
You hire a professional webdesigner. This option truly gets more expensive but if you're gonna build a website for your company or any other organisation so is this strongly recommended. If your website looks professional and attractive the users will get more confidence for the company. Before you chose a webdesigner you should look at their portfolio (their previous work). Also grant all rights for the finished website. You can have a look at our recommended webdesigners in our Webdesign section.
Sign up for a webhotel
Now it's time to get some space from a good webhotel for your website. If you're not just going to build a simple little temporary homepage you will proberly need your own domain name and a trusty webhotel.
Begin to look for a webhotel that fits your demands - that won't be that hard via our Webhotel Register section.
Join a webhotel that suit you best).
You will recive a mail with your account and username and where to access
your site.
Every thing that you produce must be send to your webhotel. One way to
do it is with an ftp-software www.ftpplanet.com,
or you can use the company´s controllpanel.
Afterwards you can try and look at your site in a browser if you write
the domainname.
