But before you receive visitors on your site, you need to create a site. But If you would ask how, then most likely, you are one of those who believe it’s too technical and needs a lot of effort to build a site. But in reality, it’s not.
Below are a few steps that you could follow to create a full-fledged website by yourself:
- Register Domain Names: Before you create a website, you need to register a domain name, which is usually the business name itself. It appears in the URL that you use to land on a website.
For example, if you want to visit the GoFounders site, then you need to enter www.gofounders.net in the URL, where WWW is Third-Level Domain, GoFounders is the Second-level Domain and .Net is the Top-level Domain (TLD). There are different types of TLDs, such as .com, .gov, .blog, .ai, etc.
Usually, domain name registration sites would and suggest available domain names. If the desired name is already taken, then you need to be creative and enter a different name that could represent your brand or business. To understand how to register domain names, click here.
