Building a Website: Getting Started

Building your own website is easier than ever. Here is a simple step-by-step guide to get you online.

1. Choose a domain name

Your domain is your address on the web. Choose something short, memorable and relevant. You can register a standard domain or a masked domain to keep your details private.

2. Get web hosting

Hosting stores your website files and makes them available online. Our hosting plans include PHP, MySQL, email and a control panel — everything you need.

3. Design and build

Use a website builder, a content management system, or hand-code HTML and CSS. Keep it simple, mobile-friendly and fast.

4. Publish and promote

Upload your files, submit your site to search engines and share it on social media. Good content and clear navigation will help you rank.
