web designers are over. Recently there have been advancements in
web development that allow the beginner to build a web site with
no HTML knowledge at all. We have listed some necessary needs
below to get you started.

Step 1 - Register A Domain Name |
The first
thing that you will want to do before you
create a website is
register a domain name (IE.
YourDomain.com) There are a variety of
different extensions available with .COM
being the most common. A few domain
extensions are .NET, .ORG, .INFO, .US & many
more. There is no advantage to having a .COM
but it is definitely more recognized to the
general public.
Domain prices have come down in price
recently and can be found for as little
as $14.99 with a reputable domain
registrar. Some companies run upwards of
$35 per year and there is no difference
the quality of the domain. If you know
of a domain that you would like to
register or would like to check
availability

Let's get
started. We've added a page to give you some
tips on domain registration. Here you'll
discover how to choose the best name to get
a decent search engine ranking and keep your

Step 3 - Find A Web Hosting Company |
|
Once you have
built a website you will need to find a
company that serves as your web host. This
company provides the space on their servers
to publish your website.
There's no
reason to pay a lot for web hosting. There
are companies out there taking advantage of
people's ignorance about web hosting and
charging $20 and $25 per month for very
basic hosting that offers no help (web
building tools) for beginners.

hosting companies. |
