Steps for getting a website

Step 1 - Get A Domain


First you have to understand what is Domain name. A domain is the name that is typed in to your browser, usually Internet Explorer or Netscape. Most of the time it has www in front, such as:

[URL=http://www.izine.in]www.izine.in [/URL]
[URL=http://www.nisman.com]www.nisman.com [/URL]

Domain name is very important. As it the name by which you will be known by the internet users in E-World.Domain registration is important.

As domain name always be unique. one domain name can be alloted to one person or company only. You have registere a domain which ever you want (subject to availability). There are so many providing domain registration services. Before approcing any of these kind of service providers, you can check the availability of domain name of your choice on [URL=http://www.checkdomain.com]www.checkdomain.com[/URL].

You mkight be confused with ".com" or ".in".
Let me clear it to you, ".com" or ".in" are called TLD (Top Level Domain). There are so many extensions (TLD) are available in the market. like commercial websites preffer ".com" TLD. Goverment organizations preffer ".org" or ".gov" TLD. Few are the TLD available now a days.

.com
.net
.in
.org
.co.in
.tv
.name

etc.

Step 2 - Get Web Hosting

A domain is an address your computer uses to get files from another computer. It is often referred to as "going somewhere". You type the address into your browser, or click on a bookmark or link, and you "go there".

So where is the web site?

To be available 24 hours a day, a web site has to be on a computer that is on and attached via cables to the internet, all the time. These computers are called Web Servers or servers. Web sites are created on a personal computer and then uploaded to a web server.

A server needs to be fast and reliable with power backup, Because you don't know whoi is connected or trying to connect to your website in the world.


To make your domain, and hence web site, available to the internet you need a web server to use.

Web Hosting companies have the physical infrastructure in place and provide space on their servers to their clients. The cost of buying, setting up and maintaining a web server would be prohibitive to most individuals and small, medium business. Use a hosting comany and you pay only for what you need.

All of the maintenance and upgrades of server software and hardware is handled by the hosting company.

For all these you no need to buy a high configuration server. you can buy some space as per the requirements fro websosting service providers.


Step 3 - Get A Web Site

Once you have a domain and a server to host your site it’s time to get that web site happening.

A web site is a series of files, or pages, that contains images, text and even sound or movies.

A web site is created using web design software. Microsoft products such as Word and Front Page are installed on most PCs today and can produce web pages. This software however is limited in the look and feel it can produce from the ordinary user, but it is a start. You will find all the info you need in the help files and, of course, on the internet.

The process of web site building can be a bit confusing at first and it is not the intention to go into the details here, but many people build and run their own sites with varying degrees of success.

But if you are planning for a good dynamic website with database connectivity, automatic retrevell of information as per users request, users login area, Then i would suggest you to consult any of the company who have an expertise in developing dynamic websites. They will create a good plan for you.
