So you want to build something BIG online… You’ve got something valuable to share to the world… Go ahead and build a website for it… How?
Here are 3 ways (Let’s assume you’ve already bought a domain and a hosting account):
a. Code it (will need more time) — If you know HTML and programming, you can build a website from scratch. If you don’t know HTML, it’s never too late to learn it –just go to www.w3schools.com . Some HTML knowledge would also be very useful for you, now that you’ve decided to build something BIG online.
b. Use a site builder – Most hosting accounts like Hostgator have a built-in site builder that is so easy to use.
c. Use WordPress – As a blogging platform, WordPress is one of the best today. They have hundreds of themes for you to choose from, and tons of plug-ins that you can use to optimize your site.
I recommend you use WordPress if you want to start-off with your website easily. Here are a few steps to take to build a website using WordPress:
1. Point your domain to your Domain Name Servers (DNS) – Just access your Go Daddy account, if you are using Go Daddy, and set your domains to point to your hosting account’s DNS. A DNS looks like this —ns6542.hostgator.com. Your hosting company usually provides 2 DNS addresses.
2. Go to your hosting account’s Control Panel (CPanel) then use “Fantastico Deluxe” to install WordPress. Just click “Fantastico” then choose “WordPress” in the Fantastico page. The next page you will see is a set up form for WordPress, and once you fill out the form, then you can access your brand new WordPress website using your browser, via the address “www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin”.
