How do I make my own simple website?

A typical question:

Me and my dad are going into business together and we want to make our own website that can be accessed easily through popular search engines like google and yahoo. How would I go about doing this? I want to put graphics and pictures on the website also. Thanks!!!


Answer: This is quite a popular question. Free website hosting is probably not for you if you are serious about having a website. Web hosting is one of the most important part of your web presence and can mean the start or the end of your business.

Before we give you an absolute answer, these are seven qualities to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:

  1. has at least 30 days money back guarantee,
  2. gives unlimited diskspace,
  3. offers no limit on bandwidth,
  4. gives multiple add-on domains,
  5. has friendly Site Builder with thousands of unique templates,
  6. has QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
  7. can be easily upgraded to VPS or one of the best dedicated server plans if and when your business require.

To answer your question, why not try Hostgator. If you need an “unlimited” hosting plan, experts usually highly recommend going with Hostgator because they are the best hosting and domain registrar around.

With more than 4 million websites hosted, a “Hostgator sucks” comment cannot be avoided. See the drawbacks of Hostgator in the section below. Objectively, HG has an amazingly long, 45 days money back guarantee so you have ample time to test them out. They are rated A+ by Better Business Bureau which shows their commitment to customer satisfaction. You also do not have to pay for the first month. You can just try their fully functional hosting service – you pay only $0.01 (you need to use the special coupon code). Do you know any other hosting company that can give you that kind of assurance? Anybody can grab an account from Hostgator for almost FREE.

Hostgator Complaints

No web hosting service is perfect. Some complaints about Hostgator plans include:

  1. No free domain name included – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
  2. You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost. It is like they say, you get what you pay for.

If you are still not sure if HG is right for you, or you have specific query about anything at all, try the Live Chat at HG. They are fast and knowledgeable. Just ask and you shall receive.

  1. Try Blink Web or Wix, their easy to manage free website (or blog) has cool features that include drag and drop capability, switch designs on the fly, youtube and google video, custom html, upload images, flikr photo gallery, visitor stats and more. You can also buy a new domain instantly, or host your existing domain for free and make it your own (www.yourown.com)

    If your looking for something more advanced but still user friendly then try XsitePro, Sitebuilder Designs or Calvary Studios, they have everything you need in building your own website: domain name registration or domain transfer, web hosting, web builder, site maintenance and email accounts. Everything is laid out in an easy to follow step by step instruction. Some of the features included enable you to add your own themes, videos, images or mp3 music making your site unique to you. Pricing is comparable and affordable too.

    I hope that I was of some help and answered your question.

  3. that was a nice thing. so coming to the point, u are going to start a business. so u have to maintain a website with your own desired name and mail id’s with your company’s domain. so there are many procedures for starting a website. there are different issues like web storage, number of mail id’s, security encryption…. etc. so first decide your requirement.

    Coming to web page design, designers will take care of that. all u have to do is telling them how your page should look like.

    there are many website creating agencies like webpros….etc which you can google online. they charge for what you want. minimum will be 1500rs INR.

  4. As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

    If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
