Make Your Own Website - Get it up and Running in 24 Hours!

Are you sick of not having your very own online presence? Looking for make your own website and getting it up and running as soon as possible? This article will provide you with a short tutorial.

The nuts and bolts of a website...

What is needed for a website to be up and running on the web? - You need a webhost to host your html files - and then you need a website name (a domain name) so people can find you website. - First you need the website html pages (design)

* Get a affordable reliable webhost that WON'T eat your bank account!

This is not a very easy task. So many people get burned by signing up with the wrong hosting company. The majority hosting companies claim to provide above average support, but once you hit the Order button you are left in the dark. Lucky for you I have hosted 30 websites across 10 different hosts and there is one hosting company that constantly gets my number one recommendation. They are HostGator. Hostgator provides the best support plus they are one of the few hosting companies that will charge you by the month and not up front. So you pay the bare minimum right from the start! You don't have to pull out hundreds of dollars to get a hosting account!

* Domains SHOULD be cheap - so get yours for less than $10!

A domain is the address of your website. Without a domain, you can't have a website...and the same thing goes for hosting. A domain and Hosting goes hand-in-hand. There is only one place I recommend for domain names. You can get a domain name for under $9 from NAMECHEAP. You can even Google "NameCheap Coupon" and grab yourself a coupon that will drop the price even further!

Once you bought yourself a domain name, you need to change the "DNS" settings in your NameCheap account so that the domain name points to your hosting. You have to do this so that the World Wide Web can associate your domain name with your hosting and that your website gets pulled up properly. If you don't know how to do this, simply go to HostGator's homepage and click on the "Chat" button. Ask the support team how to do it. They will provide you with the necessary instructions.

*Get a website design asap.

You can get a website design done for you or you can do it yourself. Doing it yourself is not such a difficult task as you might think. All you need is an easy to use website editor and you can start creating your first website starting today.

There are several website editors, some of which are more expensive than others, while others don't cost you one penny.

Priced Website Editors:

- Dreamweaver (the best, but very difficult to learn)

- Adobe GoLive (very powerful, also very difficult to learn)

Free Website Editors:

- NVU (very powerful and free)

- Kompozer (new, unique and free)

- Trellian WebPage (drag & drop plus free)

You can build a 5 page website in a few hours! Heck you can build a 15-20 page website within a day! Getting a domain name and a hosting account will take you less than 15 minutes.

So that's it...all you need is a web host, domain name and a website design and you'll have a website up in running in no time.
