• We all know how important it is to be present on
  the internet. But how to start? The subject
  looks complicated, but its not really a
  seven-headed creature. In this article, I will
  explain the main steps on how to host a website
  and thus ensure a good web presence.

The first step is to have a custom address for
your site, which we call the domain. It is
through this address that people will find your
site and it has a similar form to this
www.mysite.com. If you already have a domain,
you can skip this step. Otherwise, you will need
to register a domain (see step-by-step here).
There are multiple extensions available, such as
.com, .co.in, .org, you can choose for your
website. Here in India, the most commonly used
option is .co.in, which represents almost 92 of
national domains, and therefore recommended in
most cases. To register a national domain (eg
.co.in), you can do so through the web hosting
company to manage everything in the same
place. Now, if you want to Register an
international domain (eg .com), you will need to
do this through a hosting company. In this case,
take the opportunity to search for promotions
that offer a free domain with hosting. Saving is
always better! 2. Choose a website hosting
Firstly, it is necessary to decide where the site
will be hosted in a free or paid hosting. You
also need to evaluate what type of hosting is
right for my site. Free or Paid Hosting? The
free hosting has advantages for those who are
starting on the internet. You can test ideas at
no cost, and then bet on what you like best.
There is no investment other than your own time.
Among the tools for creating websites with free
hosting we can mention, for example, Blogger.com
and WordPress.com.

Although attractive, it is important to
understand that free solutions have restrictions
for those who want to create a professional
website. In the free hosting service there are
common resource restrictions, such as disk space
and bandwidth. In addition, support is limited
and the quality of hosting hardly matches a paid
hosting. On-site authoring tools, the first
constraint is the domain. If you opt for free,
you cannot use your own domain, such as
www.milesweb.in. The second restriction is the
ads that the service provider will display on
your site. Therefore, to have a professional
website, it is advisable to hire a website
hosting (or a paid site creator). The good news
is that this may cost little per month, depending
on the solution you choose. A web hosting plan
with included email costs between Rs. 99 and Rs.
349 per month. Types of Hosting Services There
are many types of hosting services available for
a website. The most popular and economical
hosting is the shared one, but there are other
types like VPS, dedicated hosting, cloud hosting
and reseller hosting. The shared hosting meets
the vast majority of the internet sites and is by
far the cheapest. Cloud, VPS, and Dedicated
options are suitable for growing or heavily
trafficked sites. The resale is for those who
want to start their own hosting business. If

website and publish it
Now that youve opted for hosting and domain, you
need to think about the site itself. To create a
website, you have a few paths

• Create a website on your own, through a site
  creator, if you do not have technical knowledge.
• Create your website on your own, on a platform
  like WordPress (or another) if you have
  technical knowledge.
• Create a website with the help of a professional
  or an agency, for a platform like WordPress, for
  example.
• How to host a site made in site builder
• If you choose to use the site creator, you will
  have the option to use the tool offered free of
  charge in the hosting or to hire it separately.
  The advantage of this latter option is that the
  creator already comes with the free hosting,
  exempting you from the need to hire a hosting.
• So if youre planning to create a site with this
  type of tool, I recommend that you hire the site
  builder rather than a web host. This is because
  it is common in the hosting that a limited
  version of the tool is offered and an additional
  one is covered to use it in the full version. By
  hiring the site creator, you only pay for the
  tool, which comes with the included hosting.
• How to host a website created in WordPress or
  another tool?
• If you choose to create a WordPress site or
  another platform, either on your own or with an
  agency, you will need to have it installed in
  your hosting. For this, you can use the
  automatic installer, offered free of charge by
  most hosting companies, or do the manual
  installation via FTP or file manager.
• Once you have the domain, the hosting and the
  website, some settings are enough and everything
  is ready to be published. Do not forget to point
  your domain to the hosting, otherwise, it will
  not work properly.
