The process can be broken into 4 basic stages. |
1. Choose a domain name - This name (what we call a domain name) is how people will find you when they go onto the world wide web. Once you have found the right name for your website and you are sure it is available to purchase (actually lease is a better term since you pay for the rights to the name ever year) then you need to go to your favorite domain name register like http://www.ezdomainname.com or you can simply choose for us to register when your sign up with DWHS. This secures the name so others cannot use it. When using EZ Domain Name or us for your domain registration you domain name will automatically connect with your web hosting account here.

2. Find a company to host your website - It is one thing to register your domain name but it is equally important to attach that name to a web server with your favorite web hosting company like DWHS. This gives you a place to put up your website. You can view different starter level web hosting plans here: http://www.dwhs.net/web-hosting-plans.htm
3. Build your website - There are 3 main ways you can build your website.
A) Buy a program like Dream Weaver, Cool Page, or Adobe GoLive. Then learn how to use the program to build your own website.
B) Build it for free with a program like http://www.nvu.com, our free web page builder, or our free scripts like WordPress or Drupal. You would need to learn how to use these programs to customize your website. These options are typically easier then full paid web building programs like Dreamweaver or Golive.
C) Pay someone else to do it for you. Typical prices are about $300-$500 a website.
4. Upload / Publish your website - This is the last step and after this your new website can be seen on the internet.
That's everything to get started. Your website can be seen all over the world so make sure it's looks good.  |
