Website Hosting

Website hosting is a great service which involves paying somebody else to host your site for you, so that you can have easy access to your website. Usually, you're charged on a per month basis, and then you have access to all the features and support available with your chosen hosting company. However, there's a lot to learn when it comes to website hosting, particularly if you're a complete beginner. This article will help you find out how to do things when getting started, so that you can make the most of your learning curve. By the time you've finished reading this article, you'll know how to determine what features you really need, what type of hosting services you require and how to compare and evaluate web hosts.

The first thing you'll want to know about, when it comes to learning how to set up a website, is the different types of services available, such as blogging, shopping cart software, and so forth. You can usually find all these services in one place, on one page of your chosen webhosting provider's control panel. Now, go to the "add new services" page, and click through the introductory text that appears. When you're done reading through this text, look at the bottom of the page. It says something like "To set up your blog, click here".

Now, onto finding out how to set up website hosting. The next step is to enter a domain name, which should be a lower case domain name with no dots inside it. The three main website hosting providers that you can choose from are HostGator, Expedia, and My hosting. Each of these hosts has different website hosting plans available. You can easily pick one that suits your needs or even customise it for your needs.

When you're finally ready to get started, there are two primary pieces of information that you must have under your belt before you proceed: your website hosting terms, and your website-building tools. Your hosting terms will be the rules that dictate how much space you'll be given on the server, how you can add additional domains, etc. This is essentially the learning curve, as everything else that you'll be doing will be based around this. Your website building tools are what you'll use to actually create your website, as well as a host of other website hosting services. These tools include things like WordPress, Blogger, Type Pad, Google Webmaster Tools, phpBB bulletin board, and more.

Once you have these two pieces of information under your belt, you're ready to get started! The most important part to take care of first, when learning how to set up a website hosting service, is remembering to select a good web hosting service. This is where the majority of the learning of how to set up website hosting takes place. There are hundreds of companies out there that provide web hosting services; not all of them will be very trustworthy, nor will they offer you the services that you require. To get started quickly, try to find web hosts that offer a free trial, or at least a free account with a limited number of email accounts.

Once you've got a few web hosts to choose from, the next major piece of information that you must have under your belt, is how to design your layout. All web hosts are going to provide you with pre-set templates, as well as some pre-configured widgets, such as news tickers, calculators, weather widgets, and others. Again, these are only going to be a few from the many available. Take the time to look through them and see which ones appeal the most to you, so that you can set up your own website based on these.

From here, it's simply a matter of finding the services that you want to use. This is pretty self-explanatory really; after selecting a few, go ahead and click on the "start" button, to begin loading your new website. Once it loads, a new window will open and display your website setup. Click on the "add new" link to add new widgets or features to your site. You'll find a list of services under the "add new" drop down.

Once your new website is set up, the final thing that you need to do is sign up for a good customer support e-mail address. With most companies, support will be included as part of the website hosting package; some don't include it at all. If you're paying extra for the extra customer support, make sure you're also getting added e-mail addresses as part of the package. This way, if you experience any problems with your website or your service (such as connection problems), you can contact customer support immediately - it's important that you're able to contact customer support in a timely manner, because if you don't, you could have a problem with your e-mail service account, which will most likely be followed by the termination of your account.
