HOSTING MY OWN DOAMIN

HOW CAN I HAVE MY OWN WEBSITE


 These two topics are on the lips of everyone today.This is for three reasons of course.They are:

1.It's COOL.
2.I want to be FAMOUS.
3.I want to make some MONEY.

And yes!!! Internet is the place where you can earn money with a very LITTLE INVESTMENT or NO INVESTMENT at all.So to start with here are -3 SIMPLE STEPS TO MAKE YOUR WEBSITE UP AND RUNNING.

Step 1- It's very easy and the most important step.When you want your website on the internet you have to buy some space for it.Not happy in spending money? Well!!! Then you can get some space for free too!!When you buy space to host your website,it is called-PAID HOSTING and when you host it for free it is of course called FREE HOSTING.

Naturally the question arises:

What's the difference between paid hosting and free hosting?
Answer-To explain very briefly,i would give pros and cons of both.

 PAID HOSTING

Pros:
  • Unlimited space.
  • Unlimited bandwidth.
  • 100% up time.
  • Automatic backup of websites.
  • More tools to make your task fast and easy.
  • You have your own domain(MOST IMPORTANT).
  • Better chances of search engines finding your website.
  • You can place add as per your wish
Cons:
  • You have to spend MONEY.
  • If you are not an expert,you are simply wasting money.

FREE HOSTING:

Pros:
  • No need to spend money.
  • Great for newbies to learn and practice.
  • Can be used for learning WEB DEVELOPMENT(i.e. making your own website and apps and testing them).
Cons:
  • Limited space.
  • Limited bandwidth.
  • Less than 100% up time.
  • Back up for websites on a weekly basis or monthly basis may or may not be available .
  • Limited tools.
  • You have a sub domain in your URL.(Worst).
  • Less chances of search engines finding your website.
  • You may have to host adds of your free hosting provider.

If you opt for paid hosting your URL may look like: http://www.yourname.com
and if you opt for free hosting your URL may look like:  http://www.yourname.1234web.com.

Here, 1234web is what you call a sub-domain.

Please note that the pros and cons stated above may differ from one hosting provider to another.What you want to choose is totally up to you.So if you want the companies that provide free and paid hosting service,they are:


    step 2 - Now you have your website so the second step would be how would it look.To add to your knowledge i must tell you that the web hosting companies stated above or any almost any other company in the market today provide SITE BUILDER TOOLS to make your job easy.Other wise if you have sound knowledge of HTML,CSS,PHP and JavaScript,then you can create great websites yourself.


    Step 3 - Now the last step is to add relevant content to your website so that the search engine finds your web site.Please ensure that your website has enough amount of text and relevant articles so that search engines can crawl you website and index your website.Are you not on the Google's first search page?
    Don't panic!!!Keep up the good work and you will get the benefits.To increase the traffic(People visiting your website) for your website,here are a few things you should concentrate upon:


    • Meta tags
    • Back linking
    • Using most searched keywords in your article.
    I would be explaining the above concepts in the most simplest language in the upcoming posts.Till then keep up the good work.
