When first deciding that you want to have a presence online, most ask:
"How do I go about making my own website?"
It is surprisingly easy but will require some effort on your part.
Once you have an idea about what your site will be about, then you will need a domain name. I would recommend Go Daddy.
On the first page of Go Daddy's site, you will be able to enter potential domain names. If that name isn't available, then you can continue to enter other possible domain names until you find one that is available.
They will also offer domain name ideas based on what you're entering.
I would recommend using the ".com" extension for your website especially if you want the site to becoming income producing at some point.
If you have other visions for your site other than for profit, then other extensions are fine.
In general, you will be able to get a domain name for approximately $12 per year.
Next step in making my own website would be web authoring software. This you will be thankful to know is free. You will be able to download free software from Kompozer. Simply Google this and it
will appear as the first search result.
It takes only a few seconds to download. You will need to unzip the downloaded file(extract all files). Then you will be able to
install it.
This software is easy to use. Play around with it or Google Kompozer tutorials to find out to create a web page.
In a short amount of time, you will find that making my own website was a lot easier and cheaper than you thought.
I would also suggest looking for forums and blogs that discuss website building. They will be a great resource also.
You can also find many people who will build a site for you. Costs will vary considerably and it will not be cheap. Assess your own skills, consider the price and proceed from there.
