1. Pick your website’s hosting provider and domain name
The first step in learning how to make a website is picking your website’s hosting provider.

A hosting provider is the company that “hosts” your website, powering everything behind the scenes and keeping it live, and visible on the Internet.

The hosting provider I recommend using is Bluehost. They’re very affordable and have been around in the web hosting world for nearly two decades, powering some of the world’s most popular websites. They’re my pick mainly because their customer service is top-notch and always available to help troubleshoot any technical issues while you’re still going through the process of learning how to make a website.

So, click right here to open Bluehost. Then, click the green “Get Started Now” button:

Selecting your hosting plan.

Next, you’ll select the hosting plan that’ll power your website and make it visible on the Internet. I recommend their Choice Plus plan (which I originally used to make my website). It comes with their Domain Privacy feature, which hides your personal information (name, email, phone number, and address) from being published anywhere online as the official owner of your website. With this plan, Bluehost protects that information on your behalf.

Click the green “Select” button on the plan of your choice:

Any of these hosting plans will be fine as you’re learning to make a website—and you can always come back to add the domain privacy in later either during the checkout process or further on down the line for albania phone number database $1/mo extra to your plan.

Next, you’ll need to pick a domain name for your website.

A domain name is your website’s address on the Internet.

Mine here, is ryrob.com, a nickname I’ve had for many years—so it was immediately one of my top blog name ideas.

Your domain name should be at least somewhat related to either your business, your name, or the topics you plan on writing about. It can be something like yourwebsite.com or bobscargarage.org. There are practically limitless options when it comes to picking a domain name (that’s available).
