Now that you have done the hard work, which you have noticed by now was simple and easy, the fun starts by installing your website. Your host you chose, which could also be a great development, design and hosting service such as provocativeweb.org would have an integrated installation, which makes installation a one-click operation. Most companies will give you a control panel and this is where you only have to follow your hosts control panel instructions.

The majority of the large web hosts have similar instructions, which might look like this. A login button at the host site and leading to the control panel. Here they will have various platforms available to you and most of the will have the familiar WordPress icon. Now you choose the domain and click install and you will get immediate access to your new website. If your host do not have one-click installation, follow websitesetup.org and you will get full manual installations, which are also simple to use.

You should actually use one company to that you buy your domain name from and secure their web hosting service. There are incredibly good web hosts on the internet and you want one that is reliable with good servers. Two good one, which I recommend and have used in the past and present, include, bluehost.com and even godaddy.com. They are both reliable, I have never had any problems, and their monthly fees combined are under $5 for both these hosting.

What I like about the hosts apart from their affordability is the fact that they give you a free domain name. in other words instead of buying a domain name and then choose a host, you get it both from the same provider and at places such as these mentioned where they give you a free domain name. With you, domain name when you use decent host you appear and are more professional because of the email address you get as well.

Once you have chosen your platform, you need two more things in order to get online and it is just as crucial as your platform. The one is your domain name, which in all essentiality is your web address, which will read for example, yourname.com. As I said before your website will be very low cost simply because the platform is free, but two things you will have to pay for are your domain name and your web hosting. It still is incredibly low and you can get both a domain name and hosting at a low price anywhere from under a dollar a month and more.

Why I recommend that you buy a domain name instead of using a free one, is simple. Look, you can get a free domain name as well, and then it would read something like this, yourname.freewebs.com. Do you see the difference; you will be running your website under someone else’s domain and this look unprofessional.

Ok what is your platform, you might ask. Well you must have heard that in order to build a website you need to know coding or web languages, which include CSS, HTML, Flash etc. It is these languages that prohibited most people who did not learn computers at school or follow courses to turn over their web projects to the professionals. Fortunately, for you content management systems or CMS, make it possible for you to develop without knowledge of these codes.

My favorite CMS is WordPress as platform simply because it is incredibly easy to use and it is very easy to manage. WordPress is the most popular with statistics showing that over fifty percent of all websites run on WordPress, with Drupal and Joomla behind as second and third best and popularity. When you use WordPress, which is what I suggest, you do not have to pay anything as it is a free platform and it installs fast and easy.

Hi, boys, girls, and everyone looking for a way to get a website up and running easily and with very little cost. Did I mention you do not need to know any coding either? My name is Mark, I have been developing websites since 2006, and my very first website was a total flop and yes, the next couple after that as well. Back in the day when internet came to light, we did not take it all that serious and nobody had money to spend on paying web developers to build a website.

Fortunately as the year’s progress, technology advanced and so forth, you do not need much knowledge simply because other clever people have already done all the hard work for you. It is quite simple when you know what to do, which steps are more important and in which order to do things. Take this blog as your guide in building a website you can publish to the world and claim as your own creation.
