Introduction
This is a guide for those who would like to learn how to start a website.
Since you're reading this, you probably already know how important it is
for any company or professional to have a web presence. Besides that, when
you know how to create your own website, you can make a personal website
showcasing your hobbies, family photos, selling your own products, or
anything else you can dream up.
However, that is getting far ahead of ourselves. This guide is not about
how to sell products, get more traffic to your site, or even how to design
a website. This guide is only about how to start a website – how to
register a domain name, sign up with a hosting company, create simple web
pages with HTML, and get them on the internet.
Since this is for the complete novice, the first section is an overview of
basic terms, explained in a way that's easy to understand. If you truly
are a novice at website creation, you may have already read some terms
here that you aren't familiar with. Not to worry. Everything that you need
to understand will be explained.
Each step is illustrated with diagrams so that you can follow along
easily. When diagrams are not possible, you will have to forge ahead on
your own a little. For that reason, you should feel fairly comfortable
with using a computer and the internet. But again, prior knowledge about
how to create a website is not necessary.
After you've gone through this process once, you'll wonder why it seemed
so mysterious and difficult before.
Let's jump right in.
