What makes a website?

There are four parts to building a website: domain name, hosting, content management and construction.

Every website needs to be hosted. The web host is home to your site and its content (like a remote computer).

The host then 'supports' the website to visitors when they type your domain name.

Choosing a great web host
There are six important reasons why Bluehost is an excellent web host for people who want to start a website.

Inexpensive (from £ 3pm)
Reliable (99.9% downtime)
Free domain name, email addresses and installs with 1 click of WordPress
24/7 transparent support and training guidelines
30-day full refund policy
Officially recommended by WordPress.

Select and register a domain name
A domain name is what people type in their browser to view your website. savethestudent.org is a domain name. It is also used for email, such as you@yourwebsite.com.

There are many types of domain name extensions available, including .com, .org, .net, .info, .biz.

Registration usually costs £ 9 ($ 12) a year, but you can get yours for free only with this link:

a. Click here to lock in the provision of free domain names
b. Click "Get Started Now" and select the "Basic" program for now
c. Type your preferred domain name to check availability.

your domain name is available, you will see the "Create your account" page. Congratulations! Continue step 2.

If not available, you will be prompted to try another variation. Consider changing the name (wordhippo.com helps), using links (-), entering a number or choosing a different extension.

Don't worry if you can't think of a valid domain name right now. You can click the "Choose Later" link below. Words often come into my head as I build websites, and it's easy to move an existing website to a new domain. Today is about making a website live!

Set up website hosting

The "Basic" package is more than enough for most new websites, and don't check out other paid options right now if you don't want them.

The cost of a basic 12-month plan.

To protect the lowest monthly amount, you need to pay for at least one year but cheaper for three years.

Cheap on making fun of what you get. Bluehost also does not have a 30-day full refund policy.

Make prepaid payments using your regular card or PayPal details (click "Multiple Payment Options").

Choose a WordPress theme
You will now be asked to select the first theme design for your new website!

I recommend choosing "Ocean WP" because it's free and varies on any type of site (even e-commerce). You can always change it later if you like.

Hover over the panel and click "Use this team". It may take a few minutes to process.

In the meantime, check your email inbox to verify your account, activate your domain name and get access details for your control panel.

If you are going to check your website now, it may show a page that is holding as your site may take a few hours to go live across the Internet.

This is a great opportunity to start exploring WordPress and maybe even writing some content!

Publish other content
In your Bluehost control panel click "Login to WordPress" to continue.

WordPress makes it easy to start writing content that looks great. Clicking on "Posts"> "New Add" will open the editor window, which allows you to create, format and write your posts without the need for a code.

ways to get website traffic
Apart from publishing high quality content, the most important thing is to get visitors (traffic) to your website. How do you get visitors to your website?

Here are some great ways to get traffic to your new website faster.


Post to Twitter using hashtags

Twitter is an amazing marketing tool for website owners. One of the best ways to get your content recognized is to use hashtags that are relevant to your audience.

An easy-to-use free tool like Hashtagify lets you search for hashtags you are thinking of using and view popular related hashtags.

In these results, you can find popular hashtags that you can add to your tweets - just be careful not to use too many tags. Two to three is best to avoid looking spammy.

If you don't have time to spend on Twitter, consider using TweetDeck to organize and edit your social media content next week.

Share links to Facebook groups

There may be only one active Facebook group related to your topic (use the Facebook search field). And because they are already focused on a niche, they are a powerful way to build a loyal audience and a roadmap faster.

Many groups offer ways to share your content with others, for example, posting links on specific days. When sharing your content, it's important to be honest by building a conversation with other members and never spam.

Feel free to share your website on my Facebook group.

I also recommend that you create your own Facebook group to complement your website. It means you can fully control it, and you will soon be attracting new members who are looking for topics to cover!
