How To Publish A Website On Your Domain

If you ever want your own web site, but still do not know how then here are few guidelines to successfully launch a website. Just follow them to see your dream sail through the internet waves. First of all, try to learn the basics. A website has a specific web address called domain name like www. Yahoo.com and www.google.com registered with a Domain Name Server (DNS) that identifies it with a unique IP address. This IP address is a special ID with a bunch of 4 groups of 3 digits each. After that get a web space allocated for your website via a web server that is maintained by numerous companies. Secondly, look for the name on web you want to register. If it is available that means not registered by others then use it, or go for another name. You can search them on various websites such as http://www.networksolutions.com. Thirdly, suppose the name is available then simply go to an Internet Service Provider for registering the name of your website. As soon as you do this, you will get a domain name with unique IP address from the same Internet Service Provider and buy a web space for your web site. A normal website requires 5 MB of Web space to be designed. So buy web space as per your requirement. Generally, there may be two options one on a web server using Linux hosting or Windows hosting. It is generally seen that Linux hosting is cheaper than the rest. At the same time, consider the website design and all the tools you are going to use for developing applicable web pages. These are some important things that should be available on the hosting web server. Fourthly, design functional web pages on your own or by any professional website designer. Fifthly, upload the entire web content (files, folders etc.) as it is to the web server with appropriate FTP address, login and password given by hosting service provider. And finally, give a pat to yourself on the back as now your website is ready and effectively running over the Internet. You can view this using http://www.(yourdomainname).com.
