How Do I
Make My Own Website ?
There are various ways of how do I
make my own website ... if you are going to do it yourself you
need a free HTML web editor software; alternatively you can employ a
designer to make your own website for you. But generally the hosting
companies (such as us, GoldTowerHost.com) provide you with a WebSite
Builder in your control panel.
Once you signup for web hosting you will have access to your control
panel and the editor software and details explaining how do I make my
own website pages.
OK, I know what a website is, but web hosting? What is that?
Web hosting is an Internet service that allows you to make your own
website accessible to visitors via the Internet. You also need a domain
name.
Meaning to say, no web hosting, no website.
And what do I need a domain name for?
A domain name works just like your house address. For people to come to
your house, they need to know your house address right? The same goes
for your website. In order for people to go to your website, they need
to know your “online address”, that is, your domain name.
An example of a domain name is : www.goldtowerhost.com
or www.ezidomainnames.com
So
how
do I make my own website?
Before I explain the process you will need your domain name and then
you will need web hosting space.
How do I get a domain name? How do I register a domain name?
That’s why you need a web hosting company such as GoldTowerHost.com and
a domain name registry such as eziDomainNames.com, to do the
registration in order to provide you with the domain name that you want
and get your website published on the Internet. But you do not need to
know all the finer details - as a customer of eziDomainNames.com, you
only need to decide the domain name that you wish to have and register
it with them. That’s all. GoldTowerHost.com will do all the rest for
you.
To register your domain name now you can go to this URL, but before you
do, prepare a list of possible / suitable names. For example, if your
website is about plumbing, then choose a suitable name such as
jacksplumbing.com or jacks-plumbing.com because search engines love a
name that matches the web site content. Visit this URL to register your
domain name:
CLICK HERE to go to eziDomainNames.com
Oh! It’s that easy? And once I have a domain name, will I already have
a website?
No, not yet. You also need to sign up for web hosting space - that is,
rent space to put your website files. This is called web hosting.
You can reserve your web hosting space here now:

the main page of GoldTowerHost.com
Remember, start small if you are new at this, you can always upgrade
your hosting space at anytime if you need more space.
Once you have your domain name and your hosting space it is time to
learn how do I make my own website?
The two main choices are: do I get someone to make my own website or do
I make my own website myself? The best way to gauge is to ask yourself
what kind of website you are building. If you are just setting up a
personal website then its time to learn how to make it yourself.
How do I make my own
website? You need to types of software:
1) HTML Editor Software
2) Graphics Software
An HTML editor is used for designing and to make your own website
pages, the graphics software is used to make / change images such as
your banner, your logo and your other images.
You can purchase software packages such as Dreamweaver or Frontpage,
however these are expensive and there are free alternatives which I
will explain in a moment.
Most software packages are WYSIWG (What you see is what you get) so you
can always correct your design flaws easily.
If you sign up for your
hosting space at GoldTowerHost.com then there
is an inbuilt html editior there for you to use and it is free!
Alternartively, you can download a free editior onto your computer,
make your website pages there and then upload them to your hosting
space. Such a free HTML editor can be downloaded from
http://www.nvu.com You will need to play with it for a while until you
get the hang of it.
Similarly, there is no need to buy graphics software either. You can
find a list of many free online tools for building your website here: http://www.GoldTowerHost.com/online-tools
Also, at GoldTowerHost.com you can simply ask the support staff to do a
particular task for you and they will gladly do it, for free!
If you prefer to use a template ... that is, a website that is already
made, requiring you to simply add your words and pictures, ask the
GoldTowerHost.com staff as we they have a collection of 2000 templates
that are freely available to their clients.
If you make my own website on your computer, you will then need to
upload the files and images to your hosting space; goldtowerhost.com
staff will assist you with this also.
When you launch your site, you need to Attract Traffic
To attract traffic, you need to provide good quality content. After
all, people go on the internet to look for information. That’s what the
search engines love too. Have good quality content before their spiders
come knocking! Your web pages get ranked higher in search engines
especially if your content has highly relevant keywords.
An example, go to www.google.com and type into the search box : poodles
australia
See the first and second results? It is a website named
PoodlesInAustralia.com ... and look at the top right corner and you
will see it is #1 from 1,200,000 other websites! That's what you want
for your new website!
So focus your energy on building your site into a content-and
keyword-rich one.
